Vivienne's P.O.V
FINALLY.. The Chinese lesson is over. I almost thought it would never end. Since I couldn't eat anything during class, my stomach had been on fire for the past 45 minutes.
But see, that's the thing. By now I would have developed a feeling resembling a stomach ache, not it being on fire. Everything about today seems off.
Oh no. Did I get cancer? I don't know what the symptoms are supposed to be too clearly, but maybe fever and stomach digestion disorder? Is that a thing? Maybe it is.. No, it has to be!
I've never experienced this feeling in my whole life!
Maybe I could call a sick leave.. But they would freak out if I claimed to have cancer. Better not tell the general office then. They'll require me to call my guardian and ask for their permission. In which.. Madame Marilyn would never allow.
So.... I'll just sneak out? Is that even possible? There's a security guard!
Maybe I'll just explain to her.. she would understand.
Or maybe.. maybe I could tell Becca and.. she and I could sneak into the Lab and make a smoke bomb!
I know how to make one.
You just need potassium nitrate, sugar, and baking soda. Melt it all together and it will caramelise. Add a fuse to the mixture, light it up, bam! You've got yourself a working smoke bomb.
What fun it would be!
But first..I've got to find her and drag her with me to the cafeteria to buy something to eat. I can't stay hungry forever! Someone has got to feed the beast.
I found her in the corridor walking back to the classroom. I ran towards her.
"Becca there you are! I need your help with something. " I said, urgency clearly plastered on my face.
"Whatcha need? " Becca asked back.
"Yeah thanks for agreeing to help, but first-"
"LET ME TAKE A SELFIE! " Becca cut in.
I cleared my throat. "LET'S go grab some food ."
"Why? You hungry already? " She asked, questioning me.
"Yes. Let's go! " I semi-shouted.
I bought a carton of Chocolate milk and some lovely fries.
"So.. what do you need me to help you with?" She asked, eating some curry fish balls herself.
"Right. So here's the thing.." I told her every detail from Math lesson to Chinese lesson and how my body felt in each of them.
"...It's like my body is super tired out even though I slept extra early yesterday! "
"Okay...Let me get this straight. You feel tired. Right? "she said summing it up a bit too much, missing all the details I had gracefully put down for her.
"Becca! This is way bigger than that!"
"OKAY OKAY!! Uh.. So to solve the problem, you need to go to the medical room or go home to rest. Right? Did I get that part right at least?"
Honestly I don't even know why I bother.
"Becca.. something is up. This is so weird. I've never felt this way before, and that's why I need your help to investigate."
"Nermba on. ets prabs jast a skomake ake. Nerbur tew, -" (Number one, its probs just a stomach ache. Number two-)
Don't you just hate it when people talk with their mouth full? They face you, you see the munched up food inside, and you never know if they would just accidentally spit some food on you. Don't mind me.. I'm just paranoid.
"-ewr nat en aliem. Nathing sapanataral ez happenong" (you're not an alien. Nothing supernatural is happening.)
"I can't be so sure to assume that its nothing just like that. And YOU'RE NOT HELPING AT ALL so I guess I'll have to make the big decisions myself. As a BEST FRIEND, you're supposed to help me LIKE THIS: tell me what I'm supposed to do. Such as come with me to the lab and go make a smoke bomb to distract the guards and sneak out. That's all you had to say."
"Whatever . Just let me finish my food."
"Okay?"
I was so surprised she didn't even question me. I don't call her best friend for nothing. After that she dumped her silicone bowl and walked with me.
"You done?"
"Yeah"
" Then let's go. "
"Uhm, the classroom is that way.."
"oh uh.. okay?"
Again I was surprised she even thought about going to pack our stuff. Even I completely forgot about our bags..
"Okay are you done packing? If yes then let's go. Quick. The bell is gonna ring any minute now."
"Why are you in a rush? OH wait never mind.. slap me for forgetting. It's Miss Wilsmore's class and you forgot her homework. But.. you know you could always just do it here."
"Stop fooling around! Let's go!"
"Where?"
I guess I said it too soon.
"To the lab to make a smoke bomb? Ring a bell anywhere?"
"Wait WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO WITH A DAMNED SMOKE BOMB?!"
"TONE IT DOWN A NOTCH! ANY LOUDER AND YOU'LL BUST US!"
"YEAH WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!"
"Oh my JEEZ Becca. I swear sometimes you are so dumb. You're helping me sneak out? Remember?"
"NOPE!"
"Just... Go"
