Chapter 4: For the Truth...

~Alex's POV~

The nighttime announcement thunders throughout the dorm hall, muffled by my dorm door. I close the box containing the prized objects belonging to our lost classmates as I think about what I'll do with them. Just like I did with Erza's apron and Darkness's jacket, I'll give them to whoever they were closest to.

For now, I don't have to worry about that. I cross to my white dresser, littered with scraps of fabric, empty and half-full water bottles, and other things mixed in with the disheveled dresser. I pull open one of the drawers and forage through it, hoping to find a decent pair of pajamas. Now that I'm thinking about it, I haven't changed out of my day dress much... Unless we're counting the outfit I had to wear during the last investigation.

I search through all of the drawers, finding nothing to my liking. When I pull open the bottom drawer, it's filled with folded pajama sets that are nothing akin to the ones I'd wear at home... If anything, they're better! I reach inside and hold up a cozy, pink satin top with mini white hearts printed all over it. Sitting on top of the other pajamas inside the drawer are the matching pants with the printed white hearts. I pull those out as well, then lift myself from the floor. I step to the left of the dresser and tuck the collar of the satin shirt under my chin. I hold the pants up over my skirt and gaze into the full-length mirror.

It's a pretty cute pajama set if you ask me! As much as I hate the situation we're in, I love these small benefits. I head over to the bathroom, close the door behind me, hang my pajamas onto a hanger, and turn the shower on. I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but, strangely, hot and cold water have different sounds. 

I sit on the toilet seat's cover, listening to the cold water pattering on the hollow floor. Slowly, the mirrors begin to fog up, signaling that it's time for me to get in. The sliding door slides open and I swiftly step into the shower. Washing myself and my hair quickly, I'm done in no time.

Once I step out, the steam enclosed inside the shower slips out and dissipates slowly throughout the bathroom. I dry myself off and dress into the now even cuter satin pajamas. The steam fogging up the mirror fades as I blow dry my hair. I don't have a brush in my room (I'm sure Skye has it still), so I rake my fingers through my hair as the blow dryer blows hot air. Placing the dryer down, I fix up my hair with my fingers and brush it over my shoulders.

I notice that the stray strand in my hair is still sticking up! My hand sits atop it, then lifts once I remove my palm. Doing it again, the strand stays down this time and a smile starts to appear on my face. However, it quickly shifts into a frown once the strand pops right back up. The best part of my life is when I forget that it exists. It's pretty hard to miss, too.

Quickly, I wash my face, brush my teeth, and leave the bathroom. The air in my bedroom is cooler compared to the hot air compacted in the bathroom. Glancing at the clock on my desk, it reads 10:45. I'm sure it's about time to head to Drake's room. Lucky for me, his room is, like, a door away.

A knock sounds from the other side of my door, grabbing my attention. I veer my eyes over to the door and call out to it.

"It's Jade!" My bestie calls from the other side. There was a slight pause before she spoke again. "And Charli... And Luca... And Sora a minute ago."

"Sora's not here, he left," I hear Luca say from the other side.

I slip on some slippers, cross the room, grab the knob, and open the door. There Jade stands with a bright grin on her face and she's accompanied by Charli and Luca, who are standing on each side of her. Charli smiles sheepishly as she raises her hand and waves.
