wake me up

Drowning.

Quinsea took the food after being forced by the nurse,Jessie,Max and her mother. She huffed in annoyance.

Turns out she was tired and hasn't slept well in days. Her mother was angry cause she made sure her daughter went to bed every night What happened after she didn't know.

"This doesn't even taste good." She spoke munching on the vanilla muffin.

"This is your punishment and you'll have to explain to me bit by bit why you haven't been sleeping."

"And apologize!" Jessie shouted. Quinsea glared at her.

"What have I done to you?"

"Not to me you idiot! Whatever you said to Olivia before you collapsed. Apologize for it or imma break your neck." Quinsea choked on the muffin and her mother rubbed her back.

"I-i need to go to the toilet." She put the muffin down,half eaten and stood up.

"Let me-"

"I'm not a baby mom 2." Quinsea rolled her eyes at Jessie who wanted to smack her but held herself back.

Quinsea opened the door and closed it but when she turned to walk she was blocked by a figure.

"O-oh sorry." She heard a voice looking up to see Olivia. Her cheeks were red so were her eyes. Quinsea's eyes widened as she shifted.

"Wh-"

"I'll leave don't worry. I just wanted to see if you're okay." Olivia laughed nervously. "Are you okay?" She asked. Quinsea looked into her eyes but she quickly looked back down.

"Im still standing." She spoke quietly. Olivia hummed with a nod.

"B-bye then." Olivia's voice broke for a second as she turned to leave. Quinsea stepped forward to stop her but her ego,her damned ego told her not to. Her voice,she could try her voice.

"Wait!" Olivia stopped and turned. Quinsea gulped not knowing what to say. "U-um. T-the classes together. W-We could-"

"I'll tell the teacher." Olivia nodded biting on her bottom lip as if stopping herself from tearing up. "I-ill make sure you never have to face me again. After a-"

"Don't say another word. Please." Quinsea walked closer to Olivia and stood right infront of her. "I'm sorry." She whispered with her head down.

Olivia leaned In and tilted her head slightly. Her heart was beating fast out of happiness as her sadness faded away. But a little teasing doesn't harm. "What?"

"I said,I'm sorry." She spoke with gritted teeth and clenched fists.
Olivia wanted to laugh at the poor puppy.

"I can't hear you Quinsea."

"Take it or leave it! I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry!" Quinsea looked up at Olivia to find her smirking. Her blood boiled. "Is this funny to you?"

"No." Olivia denied with a head shake as she stepped back.

"It is isn't it?" Quinsea stepped closer. Olivia shook her head.

"No." A laugh slid out of her mouth and she held her hand to her mouth.
"I'm sorry."

"No you're not." Quinsea turned angrily to walk away.

"Hey wait!" Olivia ran after her with an excited smile.

"I'm never doing that again." Quinsea mumbled. Olivia laughed behind her.

Could be the start of a new friendship,but a friendship with secrets doesn't end well.

"So now you want to be treated like a puppy." Olivia said holding the mint chocolate behind her back.

"Just give it to me." Quinsea walked closer to Olivia but Olivia stepped back.

"Until,you write that test." Olivia said. She had a test prepared for quinsea to see how smart she is really under all those f's.

"Fine!" Quinsea stomped towards the table and sat on the chair.

"Good puppy."

"Don't call me that." Quinsea groaned hearing Olivia laugh at the back.

She sighed and opened the first page of the paper. Suddenly,things came rushing into her mind and the words seemed scrambled. As if-

"I can't do this." Quinsea said closing the page with her head in her hands.

Olivia looked worried as she stepped closer.

"What's wrong?" Olivia stood infront of her. Quinsea shook her head not wanting to speak. It seemed as if tho she would cry or space out if she uttered even the slightest explanation.

"Quin." Olivia held her hands with sincere worry. Quinsea looked up at her. "It's okay you know."

"No it's not, it never is. I feel like I'm drowning everytime I try to even write a single thing and that,is not okay Olivia." Quinsea was so focused on her eyes she didn't notice her mouth letting out those words.

Olivia smiled. She leaned in closer.

"Look at my hands." Quinsea looked at her hand that moved to touch her cheek. "Memorize them."

Quinsea hummed reaching for it with her own.

"If you ever feel like you're sinking too deep just think of my hand,pulling you out. I'll always be there to pull you out,I promise." Olivia's word were soothing,relaxing for quinsea who slightly smiled but then it fell when she realized reality.

She cleared her throat and Olivia looked away.

"Th-thanks." That's all she said feeling her cheeks fire up. Olivia nodded not facing her.

"C-can you write it now?" Olivia asked. Quinsea gulped. "It's oka-

"C-can I take it home then,bring it when I do it. I'm not sure I can right now." Quinsea said. Olivia smiled and nodded. "Great,i-i should probably head home."

"Yeah,I'll walk you."

When they reached the bus stop Olivia handed quinsea the chocolate before walking away.
