You can't find me

Chapter 41

Ry's POV

Ana walks over to me and gives me the worksheets for all of today's lecture. 

She releases a loud sigh before speaking. 

"Your missing out on a lot of work, Ry. Conferences are already coming up soon and teachers know it's not like you to be absent for so many consistent days. She's strong enough to come back from wherever she is, let her be." 

I stop myself from releasing words that will make me sound like a brat and tell her I'll show up tomorrow even though I probably won't. 

We say our goodbye's and I thank her before she's on her way to her club meeting. 

Where the hell are you Ari? 

I scan through what I have to finish today and then shove all the papers into my backpack. I had gotten a few leads from asking around and found out that Cora was also part of that match that took place. 

I reposition my brunette wig before speed-walking towards her residence hall. 

I can't believe it hadn't even come to my notice that she hadn't showed up at all on campus since that event happened. 

Some guy who's walking in the opposite direction as I stares at me and then looks back as he passes me on the path. 

I scrunch up my face before taking out a pocket mirror to make sure nothing is off. 

My makeup was intact and my spell seemed to be working.

Must be a perv.. 

I roll my eyes before jogging the rest of the way. 

I sneak through the entrance as I don't have permission to be in another residence hall without that person's statement. 

Knocking on her door, I whisper yell that it's me and do this for around 3 minutes before stopping. 

A girl walks by me to reach her room and says "You might as well give up. She hasn't come out since she came here. So I doubt your gonna be able to talk to her. She's a bitch either way." 

Anger runs through my veins as she calls her that. She had no idea who she was messing with. 

"Save it sweetie, your jealousy is reeking and making me want to gag. You don't want me to go tell Nick who else you've been seeing, do you?" I say with venom in my voice. 

She gasps and slams her door shut. 

I look around and see no one there so I mutter an unlocking spell and barge in. 

The room is immaculate but the smell of copper makes me scrunch of my nose. 

I see a blob of brown hair next to the bedside table and I lower myself to pull her to me. 

She's as cold as an ice slab. 

"Cora! Get up girl. What happened to you?" I squeak. 

I pat her cheeks to get her to wake up but she doesn't budge. 

I feel something wet on my dress and freeze. 

She couldn't have? Right? It didn't seem like her to... 

I slowly look down at her arms and see their covered in glass shards. 

Her perfect skin is now a mess with scratches, lines, blood and bruises. 

"What the fuck!" I scream as I grab the bottom of my skirt and carefully brush away the glass from her arms. 

That's when I even notice that her dress is ripped and her hair has red blotches over it.
