Insane

As my eyes slowly fluttered open, I realized the boy on the other side is awake.
I slowly sat up and took in a deep breath and exhaled, but then I coughed and sniffed, which caused him to look at me.
I lifted my eyebrows and looked to the side for a second since this was awkward and sniffed again.
He then stood up and walked over towards me and sat down near my feet. He then set his hands on each side of me and leaned In. I looked at him wide eyed and my heart began to beat faster. It got to the point where I leaned back and he was hovering over me. He then pressed our foreheads together. And then he pulled away.
God fucking shit.
What did he do?!😫

"You don't have a fever so that's good" he spoke.
I looked at him with a '😑' face while he wasn't looking. He then turned towards me and I looked away.
"What's your name?" He said and I slowly turned towards him.
"Scarlett" I replied and he gave a quick nod.
"Well, I'm Matthew but you can call me Matt" he said, but he tensed up when he said 'Matthew'. I didn't want to question it so I let it go.
"I have a few questions about this place. First off, why does that door look heavy?" I realized I asked a stupid question but oh well.
"Sound proof, since at night a lot of people start screaming and laughing" he explained and I nodded.
"Why do we have to wear these?" I asked referring to the outfits.
"It's comfortable" he answered.
"Why do they take shoes?"
"If they have laces, then that's why" I then realized what he was talking about.
"Why are you in here?" I asked and he tensed up.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me" I said while sticking my hands out and doing jazz hands.

"Why are you in here?" He questioned.
"They say I'm insane" I said and he tilted his head.
"There's a demon in my head" I added and his lips turned into a thin line.
"It's alright, we all have a dark side" he said and I smiled.
"I'm hungry, what time is lunch?" I asked and he chuckled.
"It's at 2:45pm and we get dessert at 7:34pm" he said.
There's no clock so I can't tell time. Damn it.

How is this boy in here? He seems nice. He isn't showing signs of being insane. So why is he here?

I slowly fluttered my eyes open and saw that Matt is hovering over me which caused me to scream and shove him off. I sat up and realized I must have slept again.
"What the fuck were you doing?!" I shouted and he began laughing.
"It's not fucking funny!" I shouted. Good thing this place is sound proof.
"Anyways it's almost time to get dinner so I suggest you get up" he said and I let out a huff.
I stood up and I noticed my shirt went down so my cleavage was showing so I quickly adjusted it and pulled it up. I looked up and saw Matt was staring at me. I let out a cough and then second later I was slammed against the wall.
"Don't do that. Don't you ever tease me like that" he growled against my neck which caused me to bite my lower lip. He then pulled away leaving me with a '😑' face. Then the door slammed open and in came an officer.
"Eating time!" He yelled and left the door open. I regained myself and walked out with Matt following behind.

As I sat down at a table, I looked at the food. A piece of chicken with mashed potatoes on the side and vegetables. And a plastic cup with water. This place may be evil, but it is also fair.
"Ugh thank goodness, I was starving" Renee said as she appeared beside me.
"Yea yea" I said and took a bite out of the chicken. I then heard Renee hum. I then felt someone staring at me. I looked and it was Matt. I gave him a quick smile and went back to eating.

As I laid down on my bed, I saw Matt was sitting on his but staring off into a corner. I tilted my head in confusion.
"Matt? What's up?" I said and his gaze broke.
"Huh? Oh nothing" he said and laid down. I then pulled the covers over me and stared at the ceiling.
After a few minutes of staring, I felt my eye lids start to slowly close, and then I saw darkness.
