Day 7 Pm
I bolted when no one was looking. It was around dinner time and everyone was in the dinner hall.
Everyone but me.
I was sure Miss Genevieve knew I was gone. Ever since the girls and I's "night out", Mrs Genevieve had been on my case.
The nurses were giving the babies their dinner bottle. As they checked their formulas, I went into a dead sprint for the door.
As I crashed into the door I reached for the knob. But the door opened for me.
"Pleasure seeing you again Ms Navarro." Miss Genevieve greeted me at the open door.
"Hi Miss Genevieve." I traced the floor with my foot while looking down.
"Shouldn't you be in the dinner hall?" She stated.
"...I had to-uh..." My mind drew blank. I didn't know what to say.
"That's two days of in-room suspension. " she clicked into her iPad and led me out the door.

Back at the room, I was painting a portrait of C3-P0 and R2D2, when Viv, Cameron, and Kira all walked in from dinner.
"Where were you all day?" Kira asked me curiously.
"Out." I smiled.
"Out where?" Vivian asked.
"Outside!" I jerked around to see there reaction. They all just looked at me with blank stares. Then broke out into a simultaneous laugh.
"Outside?" Cameron laughed.
"I'm serious. Andrew and I went. We had a full on date. You don't believe me?" I placed the paint brush down on the easel.
"And how exactly did you get outside?" Vivian composed herself.
"We sunk down the fire escape, at the nursery. He knows every crook and corner here. He's Miss Genevieve's kid." I finished.
This time I got a reaction out of them.
"Miss Genevieve has a kid?" Kira asked in shock.
"Yup." I said confidently crossing my arms.
"Damn. I want a boy from next door." Vivian blushed.
"How did you not get busted?" Cameron asked.
"I DID get busted. Miss Genevieve caught me trying to get out of the nursery. Two day in-room suspension." I flopped onto the bed face first.
"Now I just wait for a clue." I sat up and looked at them. They stared back at me confused.
"A clue?" Vivian asked.
"Yeah. Last time he asked to meet me, he asked with a clue. He put a line from Alice in Wonderland in my jacket and when I looked in Alice In Wonderland the book, there was a time and place to meet."
"Why doesn't he just come find you?" Cameron replied.
"I don't know. That's just him I guess." I blushed.
Cameron pretended to throw up and then laughed. I threw one of my pillows and hit her dead in the face.
"Wait, how did Miss Genevieve know you were in the nursery?" Vivian thought out loud.
"I don't know. I don't care. As long as I see him again." I smiled.
This time, Kira pretended to throw up, and I hit her with the pillow.
"Can we open a window in here? I'm burning up." I went to open the window between Kira and I's beds. I pushed the window up but it wouldn't budge.
"How long has it been since this window was open?" I said while struggling to pry the glass from the window pane. Finally, the window swung open and a gust of fresh air welcomed itself in.
"No! Close it!" Kira leaped up and darted for the window.
"Why? It's hot In here." I blocked the window.
"No! Close it! Now!" She tried to reach past me but failed.
"Kira what's wrong?" I asked while chuckling.
Tears welled in her eyes. Her face got flushed and I could almost feel her pulse shaking the room.
"Close it! Please!" She fell to her knees and sobbed into her hands.
"Lucy close it!" Vivian screamed in panic.
Kira continued to sob into her hands. She sat in the floor on her knees screaming in pain as if someone had stabbed her.
"I got it." Cameron said and forcefully moved me out of the way. Slamming the window closed behind me.
"It's done now Kira. The window is closed. Nothing will happen." Vivian consoled Kira.
I stood in shock staring at Kira on the floor shanking. I couldn't move. I couldn't blink. Only stare.
Cameron lifted Kira up and carried her out of our room. While Kira lay shanking and huddled I her arms crying. She whispers the name "Hazel" over and over again.
And once again I was left alone with too many questions and not enough answers.
