I opened my eyes with a groan, because of my father's visit I didn't get any rest. The anxiety of our chat was still embedded in my bones.
I slid out of my bed and headed to the bathroom; I didn't feel like doing my skincare, but I would hate myself if I skipped it.
My thoughts were racing, they know, they are away, is my mother safe? I needed to speak to Sharp at some point today...and sign up for the music class.
I had charms early in the morning, after getting dressed and ready I dragged my feet up the flight of stairs to charms class. I looked around for an empty seat, and there was one right next to Ominis Gaunt.
"Hey, Ominis. Is this seat next to you taken?" I asked tiredly.
"No, it's not taken by anyone. How are you doing today?" He asked patting the seat next to him.
"Tired, I didn't get much sleep. And I'm just exhausted at this point." I sighed.
"What's keeping you from sleeping? If I may be so bold as to ask." He frowned looking a little disappointed, and worried.
"Just...dreams, not getting the proper rest." I shrugged. "My nights are filled with restless dreams and my days filled with inconveniences." I glanced up at Sebastian who sat by himself across the room.
"Are they nightmares?" He raised his brows.
"No, just, too real and I get anxious. I can escape when I wake." I rested a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"And what about the inconveniences?" He pressed.
"You remember that fight between Sebastian and me?"
"I remember a rather large argument. You and Sebastian were yelling back and forth, I could hear you crying as you spoke. I believe Taylor and David got a hold of Sebastian as well." He gave a small smile. "Is he still bothering you? I understand if you don't want to talk about it."
"Again, I want to apologize for you being a bystander in that!" I turned to him. "He is, I do my best to ignore him. But it's hard when I'm cornered." I frowned. "I just don't understand what I did for him to hate me so much. We were best friends...I...I just don't understand what his problem is."
"It's alright, everyone has arguments from time to time. I just hope that one day you two can work out the differences you had, and I have a feeling that he just might come around in time. If not, I'm sure there are better people to be friends with that aren't as spiteful." He had said that last part very matter-of-factly.
"Have you seen his anger? Or is it just a me problem?" I crinkled my brows.
"Now that I think about it, I have noticed his anger. But I usually just attribute it to the mood he's in that day. Maybe something's happened and he isn't telling us." Ominis frowned. "I don't want to force him to share, though. It might only serve to make him angrier. Don't let it get to you; you're worth more than he's giving you credit for, and you've done nothing to deserve his wrath." He put his hand on mine and squeezed it, I'm glad I still have him as a friend.
Professor Ronen bounced in the classroom and started the lesson. It was mainly a review since we have a quiz coming up. Ominis and I somewhat paid attention, there was the tension I couldn't sit through it, so I cracked a few jokes. He tried to stifle his laughter but just ended up snorting which made me laugh even more. Learning Ominis's sense of humor was a little difficult but once I did, getting him to laugh was easy. His sense of humor was quite sarcastic and dry at times, but he found it funny regardless.
Charms class was dismissed, and I began to pack up my books and put them in my bag.
"My face and stomach hurt from laughing...or I could just be hungry." I laughed once more holding my stomach.
