I Can Do That With My Eyes Closed

Chapter 4

"Okay," Normani plopped down next to Ally on the circular cafeteria table. "Cross out the herbal tea, lavender, and classical music."

It was about a week later and although classical music had pushed Camila into a deep sleep within a matter of minutes, that didn't stop her from attempting to get up several times and making a break for the door. And, herbal tea hadn't done much except for increased the need to pee when she woke up by ten. Lavender turned out to trigger Camila's allergies and only caused a very long night of sneezing and sniffling to which they finally had to relocate to Ally's room for the rest of the night where Camila wasn't breathing in the scented flower.

"It didn't work?" Ally scooted over slightly to give Normani space and referred to the tea.

Dinah came up from behind Ally, sitting across from her on the table, Lauren already occupying the seat next to her left. "No it did not. It only filled her bladder faster and we were up for at least an hour."

Camila sat down next to Dinah with a guilty face. "I'm sorry, I'm not why sure why my unconscious insists on escaping so much."

Normani waved her off. Camila had already apologized profoundly, the girls continuously assuring her that it was fine, but she wasn't giving up. Dinah shrugged, biting into her sandwich. It was only a second later however, when she spit it out and begun waving her hand in front of her face wildly. "Are you okay?" Normani asked concerned.

Dinah shook her head, grabbing Lauren's water bottle and chugging it down. The rest of the girls were very confused, none of them knowing what was going on. "What's the matter?" Ally asked, looking at the taller girl worriedly.

"Did it taste bad?" Lauren prodded.

Dinah didn't answer, finishing Lauren's water bottle and reaching across the table to grab Camila's which she had been trying to drink out of.

It took Dinah almost five minutes of chugging everyone's water and Ally's green tea before she stopped. Panting heavily through her open mouth, Dinah managed to get out a, "H...Hot." Her tongue hung out of her mouth.

"Like spicy? Or temperature?" Camila asked, looking down at Dinah's sandwich and lifting the bread slightly. She noticed red liquid hidden amongst the lettace. "Hot sauce?"

Dinah nodded. "Muh tongue es bunning!" She tried to say despite her tongue still hanging from her mouth.

Lauren looked confused. "Did you order hot sauce on your sandwich?" Dinah shook her head. Lauren huffed. "Who the hell puts fucking hot sauce on your sandwich? That's just cruel!" She rubbed Dinah's back and Ally went to get more water.

Dinah stopped her puppy-like panting for a second, making quick eye contact with Normani before looking over at a table across the cafeteria. The other three girls followed the glances to the occupants which contained most of the girls and boys volleyball teams. The group of atheletes snickered at the table. "Them." Normani said with a slight growl.

Camila turned over to the table once more crossing her arms. She was very familiar being on the sore end of a prank and she hated it more than anything. There were to many times she had ended up sopping wet because someone had filled her bed sheets with water balloons or something. She glared at them, cursing that she probably didn't look the slightest bit intimidating.

"Are you okay? Let me see your tongue." Camila turned back to Dinah after she lost a staring contest with some blond girl on the opposing table.

Dinah frowned, not feeling the need to be taken care of but stuck out her tongue anyway. Camlia studied it, notcing how small parts were red from the intensity. She pouted at Dinah. "Does it hurt?"
