We're all in our private ,box clamped in them and none of us can ever get out. We scrath and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other and for all of it we never budge an inch.
-Norman Bates
I wake up on top of Ernesto. As in oh god, i just woke up on top of Ernesto! As far as I could tell nothing happened but with him I can't be sure. I finally broke from his grasp and ran back to my room. I had just made it down the hallway when I was stopped by Frankie and her stupid rabbit again.
"Sadiq! What happened to your face!"
"I got hit by a lightning bolt, and I fucked my face up okay so just move". I pushed her aside and didn't give her a second glance. I didn't have enough time to pay attention to her right now. If Holly found out that I fell alseep on top of Ernesto, me and him would be in a heap of trouble. I got changed into my sweatshirt and jeans and then attempted to wash my face. Even if my face looked like roadkill I wanted to look as presentable as possible. After I fixed my hair I ran into the cafeteria. Not just because I had business to deal with but because I was staving. I hadn't eaten anything since 2 days ago. I did get a few glares but other than that everything was normal. The excessive humming, the CCKKing, the nagging , the talking and the staring. But this time the staring was different. He had tears in his eyes but they refused to roll down his face. He stared at me as if he wanted me to react to what had just happened. To stop pretending like nothing was going on and everything was okay like people kept saying. As if I was the one with a wife and he had gotten hit with lighting. I tried my best not to look but it was the most difficult of experiences. I got lost inside his eyes, trying to find a light. The same light that I had first witnessed the night before. I just couldn't seem to find it again.
"Are you two having a staring contest because if you are can i join you?", said Liam as happy as always. He, along with Jordan and Alex came into the caf. They hadn't been there until last night. They were on a trip with another tribe for the past two months. They considered it to be there 'summer vacation'. I thought it was stupid since school didn't exist anymore but somehow they got to go still.
"Hey Sadiq long time no see", said Jordan with a smirk on his face.
" Yeah that new scar looks bad ass on you." said Alex trailing in from behing him. They put there arms around each others shoulders. They had gotten close over the past few years. Like really, REALLY close. I just wished Me and Ern could be as open as they were.
