I didn't know how to react after hearing that.
Was I supposed to be scared or just dismiss it? After all, I don't know these boys or even Zereck to begin with. For all, I could know they might be pulling my leg. Who knows, new girl, easy to prank stuff?
I smiled a little and laughed it out, "Nice prank, guys. You really had me there."
I ignored the surprised looks they shared and took the opportunity to cut before them and took the next plate and gave them a small twirl for visual effects.
"The new girl's got some tricks up her sleeves," Killian guffawed as Paul shook his head with a wide grin. The other two gave me cheeky smiles.
I filled my plate with whatever I knew and had tasted before. The last thing I wanted was to put something on my plate thinking it was savory but it would turn out to be sweet instead, or vice versa.
I tried keeping my mind on the talks that the boys were having. But a part of it still wandered back to what they had told about Zereck. Were they really telling the truth or only joking around?
I couldn't help but steal a glance at both Zereck and Levon who coincidentally happen to sit back to back, at different tables. They looked contrastingly complimenting. They looked like Jacks of Spades and Diamonds, or perhaps the Kings.
"Evera," The calling of my name grabbed my attention, making me whip my head back to face the four boys who seemed to be waiting for something they had asked but I had missed.
"Sorry, I missed that, can you come again?" I asked stapling my fingers together as I placed it on the table beside my now empty plate.
"You didn't tell us the story behind your red tag? Did you overdose or kill someone?" Isaiah asked curiously.
The flashes of memories I would rather forget popped into my head. The blood, the scream, the black wind. My small smile had now turned upside down as a visible frown now rested on my features.
"You... don't have to... if you don't want to," Elijah looked around his group of friends as he said hesitantly.
"I'm sorry, but please excuse me," I stood up grabbing my plate after wording out softly.
The pain that pierced my heart and the numbness that had momentarily occurred in my mind was something I would prefer to wash down with the tablets that the headshrinker had written on the sheet making it mandatory for the rest of the existence.
That was the only good thing about those pills. It cut off the reality and pain I didn't want to face again.
I dumped the plate in the used bin and hurried towards the dormitories. I vaguely remember walking past Mariana who had only raised her hand for a wave but the pinching in my heart and the breathlessness was the only thing I was able to focus on.
Reaching the warden who was talking on the phone with someone very cheerfully, I placed my red tag on her table for her inspection. I don't even remember passing by the blue-tag dormitories. Everything had started to turn out hazy and blurry. The palpitations had only started, scaring me further, for they would go on for quite some time if I didn't get the pill right now!
Warden chuckled at something she was hearing over the call as she lazily picked up my ID and looked at it. Blowing the bubble gum she was chewing, she typed something on the keyboard. Meanwhile, all I could think was to shout at her to hurry up.
The annoying noise of the bubble gum popping added to the irritation I was feeling. As well as that high-octave voice as she nagged about something to the caller.
Losing my shit, I slammed the table before her, startling her in the process and demanding in a hiss, "Meds, give them."
The wide eyes and the fear on her face made her do her work faster than it was taking initially.
I swallowed the pills even before she handed me the paper cup of water and waited for the calmness to set in.
Breathing a little raggedly, with the palpitations still there, I opened my eyes to find the warden to be a younger lady than the one I had seen in the morning and the previous night. This one didn't dare to check my pockets as the former one had and let me straight through the gate of my personal prison.
I tried to maintain my posture while I felt her eyes on the back of my head as I made my way up the stairs.
Once out of sight, my entire façade collapsed. It was a struggle to walk. The palpitations and the swirling of my head hit me hard. It would take some more time before the proper effect of the meds was going to set in. Till then, I had to make sure that nobody would harm me in this building full of cases where more than half would either be behind the bars or the confinement of psychiatric wards. In straight jackets.
And in no way was I ready to encounter that creep of a roommate in this condition!
He was the last person that I wanted to come across in these deserted hallways while everyone else was in the cafeteria.
I wobble like a drunkard by the time there were only a few more steps remaining for me to reach the room. The nausea was another thing that threatened to have me barf at the expensive-looking carpet that could take my payroll of the entire year of part-time job I had had.
The card slipped through my fingers and the lousy attempt to pick it up had instead made it slid under the door. And the dumb part of me had pulled out the card from the cardholder instead of trying to swipe it just as.
This is not good... That was the only thing that I was capable to think as the dizziness hit hard and like a humpty dumpty, I fell, hitting my back on the door. My breathing labored making my mind stop working.
And the only thing that I could remember was seeing a handsome face of a man who looked like an angel with those light blonde hair and brown eyes.
His lips moved like he was trying to say something that my mind was not able to perceive or process it.
That was the last thing that I saw, or I think I saw before losing consciousness.
