"LUCAS! STOP!" someone shouted as I stormed into my dorm, ready to claw my eyes out. I barely registered the voice before slamming the door behind me—almost on their face.
"Hey! That could've broken my nose!"
I turned with a scowl to see Ajax standing in the doorway, his hand on the doorframe and an exaggerated pout on his face. Crossing my arms, I leaned against the bedpost, silent and waiting.
"What happened?" he asked, stepping in and closing the door behind him. "I saw you and your brother yelling, and then you stormed off."
"That's really none of your concern, is it?" I snapped, my voice cold. "Why are you here?"
"Well, for one, we share this dorm" he replied, shrugging. "And two, I wanted to check on my best friend. Look, I don't have family drama like you, but it sucks seeing you like this."
His attempt at sincerity didn't quite hit home, and I just sighed, sitting on the edge of my bed. My head was pounding, my thoughts tangled and frayed.
"Talk to me" Ajax pleaded, his tone softer now.
I shook my head, pressing my fingers to my temple. "I just... I need to sleep, okay? My brain's fried. Let me recharge, and I'll deal with all this tomorrow."
"Fair enough" he said, stepping back. "But, seriously, you know I'm here for you, right? Anytime."
I nodded, already halfway to pulling off my shoes. Moments later, I changed into something comfortable and collapsed onto my bed, sinking into an uneasy but much-needed sleep.
The next morning, I woke to the sound of hushed but urgent voices.
"Enid, you're being way too loud!"
"Me? You're the one stomping around like a troll!"
I groaned and peeked over my covers to see Enid and Ajax standing in the middle of the room, both clearly failing at being quiet.
"Hey, mental note, guys" I mumbled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Take the conversation outside next time if you don't want to wake me up."
"Sorry!" Enid squeaked, her voice immediately dropping to a whisper.
I sat up, yawning. "What's going on?" I reached for my phone, but before I could check the time, Enid blurted it out.
"Lucas, Eugene was hospitalized last night" she said, her words tumbling out in a rush. "It was that creature you and Wednesday have been tracking."
