It's Only Gossip

I feel something fall on me. As I open my eyes, each second my surroundings blurs a little less. I see the fallen object. Pills for I don't know what. A second later my roommate hands me a drink.

Wait, hold on. Roommate? I haven't seen her once I started this school and it started a month ago. I don't even see her in the night when I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night yet alone morning. This must be a hallucination or something but I know it's reality.

"Levi, you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." A medium height girl with really thick black hair approaches me with a huge grin.

"I think I am seeing a ghost." I gulp.

Is that who I think it is? Sure her hair colour is different but it's still thick. Her defined features. I sure do remember them. Her wide eyes with her her signature luxed eyeliner surrounded by her long lashes. It is her.

"Aura!" I scream a bit too loud as I jump out the bed to hug her.

Wow, this school has been driving me crazy. I don't like hugging. I quickly wince back in disbelief.

"You weren't the only one with plans." She winks at me, reminding me of her proud expression on results day when Tatia & her discovered that I wasn't enrolling with them.

She gestures the glass of water and pill so I quickly shove the pill in my mouth, drinking water to swallow it. Mmm, the taste of H20.
"So, what brings you here?" I challenge.

"Now, that's none of your business." She grins at me.

"Oh, woah, someone's being mysterious. Sorry for asking." I raise my hands in surrender.

We both giggle in unison. I've missed her.

"Let's go to class!" She cheers.

"Aura," I make direct eye contact with her. "It's Sunday."

All she does is laughs at me as if I'm the stupid one. What am I missing?

"You've barely been socializing. Come gets dressed, we're going to school!" She cheers once again.

I refuse to get up unless she tells me why on Earth we are going to school on a Sunday. Continuously, I shake my head as an indication that I'm waiting for answers.

"Okay!" She finally cracks. "It's like a study session minus the studying."

I raise an eyebrow at her but she carries on.

"There's food, there are books, there's students, it's like a secret organisation but we don't really organize anything." She smiles at me, trying to make it seem appealing.

"So, socializing?"

She nods and I mimic a barf.

"You know, there might be pizza..." She appeals, empathizing 'pizza' and I slowly get sucked in.

"Urgh, you lot are so sad going to school on a Sunday!" I groan, reaching for my clothes but then I realize that I was in yesterday's outfit.

"You'd be surprised with who you see." She winks.

"I barely know anyone." I throw my pillow at her.

She just hums and walks to her phone while I get dressed. Seriously, who goes to school on a Sunday? That is just sad. Hold on, I'm one of those people now. I am just sad. What am I doing with my life?

God knows.
