The Academy - Something Missing

Chapter 3

Hey guys! Hope you like this Chapter! It's kind of longer than my other Chapters. Excuse me if there's bad grammar or wordings. I haven't edited it yet. Well enjoy! Remember love, hate, or be nuetral. I'd like any suggestions or comments(:

My eyelids fluttered opened and I found myself back in my own bedroom. The Test was finally over. I tried to remember what had happened but I could only vaguely remember being directed to a room with white walls. Everything else, I drew blank.

I sat there for a good ten minutes, thinking over and over but my mind seemed to be blocked. Feeling the need to use the bathroom, I got up from my bed.

Big mistake.

My body ached, my muscles sore. I grimaced at the immense pain that throbbed throughout my whole body. What went in that Test that made me feel like crap?

I stood motionless in my bed for some time and tried again. It still hurt like hell but after a thousand tries, I was at least able to prop myself up, leaning against the backboard of my bed.

Ugh this sucks.

I massaged my arms and my legs, where it hurt the most.

While I was attempting to soothe my aching body, I heard my phone chime. With much effort, I grabbed my phone and read a text from Carly telling me to meet her and the guys at the café.

How in the world was I supposed to go if my body ached so much?

I groaned as I got up and tried walking. My legs violently shook at first but after getting used to the pain, it wasn’t as bad.

Carly better thank me.

I felt a little grimy so I pulled on a sweatshirt and some comfortable jeans. I shoved my phone in my pocket and headed out of the house.

My parents wouldn’t be home until evening because of work which gave me a good five hours to pass which came by pretty quickly when you’re with Carly.

When I entered the café, they all waved at me, ushering me to the table. They all smiled looking fresh and clean unlike me. I was still sore and groggily but it didn’t keep me from coming.

“Hey, ready for Kings Dominion?” Carly said ecstatically.

Facepalm. I totally forgot about the plans we had made the other day.

“Haha, you forgot,” Daniel teased. My face must’ve given it away.

“Shoot. Sorry,” I said guiltily.

“Well, at least you’re here,” Max assured me, checking the time. “We can still go.”

“Yeah, of course. We have plenty of time,” Carly said smiling. We all got up from the table and Carly linked arms with me. She dragged me along and to my unluckiness, decided to skip the way to the car. I grimaced at every jump she took but she didn’t seem to notice, too drunk in her own happiness than to realize her friend wincing in pain. The rollercoaster was going to be hell.

We all walked out of the café and into Daniel’s Jeep. Carly and Max hopped in the backseat for a little “privacy,” leaving me in the shotgun which I didn’t mind at all since Daniel was driving. Daniel, being Daniel, opened passenger door for me and jogged up around the driver seat, cranking the engines when we were all safely buckled up.

“Ready?” he asked back at the two lovers in the back.

“Always,” Max replied grinning, turning his attention back to Carly. She giggled.
