08.

I pulled back my curtain to be met with Bonnie and i jumped almost having a mini heart attack.

"Oh my gosh. Can you not do that?"

Bonnie laughed, "But it got you awake."

I pulled the curtain back over my bed, "Five more minutes."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Why not?" I groaned in frustration.

Bonnie pulled back the curtain, "Diego is coming."

She gave me a huge smirk.

I pulled myself out of bed and grabbed a change of clothes.

"She's changing." Bonnie spoke in terms for me, I knew who she was talking to.

"Lora. Your boyfriends here." I rolled my eyes at her comment.

We weren't even dating and people thought we were together.

We haven't even discussed our feelings yet.

"You guys ready?" Diego smiled at me.

"Sure." Bonnie and I said in unison.

--------
We were outside conversing our ideas once again about the break out.

It didn't make since that they would now want to get out and not before I got there but that was besides the point.

I shook my hand in front of the circled table we all sat at.

"What if I can't get us out?" I questioned everyone.

"What are you talking about?" Ella asked me.

"I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing, there's always what if." I shrugged.

"You're good in science. Why wouldn't you be able to?" Everly spoke out.

"How would you know?" I was know confusing myself.

"You told us, and I sometimes help with setting the files in the office so I can look at the information." She smiled reassuring the group that it was possible for me to get us out.

I started to think. Did she know exactly why I was here then? Why I was put in here? I realized after that statement Everly could possibly know all about my life from a file she held in her hands. I had to Everly close to me not only was she important to the plan but she was an important friend.

It was good to have someone like Everly and Bonnie. They always believed I could do things. Bonnie believed i could tell Diego my feelings, and I haven't.

Everly believed I could actually get us out of this thing, and I didn't think I could.

"So Lora," Everly nodded, "I know you can do it."

I smiled.

If I put my mind to it I could and would get my friends out of this hell hole.

"It's time for dinner!"

The intercom called for all of us to head that way.

We got up and walked into the cafeteria and they ordered pizza for us since we have been complaining.

I was extremely hungry from not eating a lot, so I grabbed three slices of pizza, and a soda.

We all gathered at our table.

We didn't talk much at all.

I was the first to get up, I felt tired all of a sudden.

I thought maybe it was just my restless nights.

I threw away my trash, and walked to my room until i was stopped.

"You alright?" Diego had spoken from behind me.

"Yeah. Just tired." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Hey. Can we talk for a minute?"

I turned around so I was fully facing him, "About what?"

"That night when you got hit." He looked down to his shoes.

"What about it?" I pressed on the question.

"I just wanted to talk about it. You I just wanted to say I know I don't know you all to well. But I feel like you understand me." He paused looking up to meet my eyes. "I feel like I'm attracted to you."

I was in shock. I was the one who was supposed to tell him my feelings and he did it before I did.

"I-" I couldn't get any of my words out.

"No I get it." He started to mumble.

"No Diego. I feel attracted to you too." I smiled it was all I could do, we honestly just admitted our feelings to each other.

He pulled me in for a hug and we just stayed that way for a while.
