Comatose

Chapter 4

When I woke the next morning, there wasa pounding sound on my door and a woman's voice yelling out my name.

"Saph, open the door I want to talkto you!" The muffled voice hollered on the other side. I groanedand pulled the pillow over my head. Does she not know I'm trying tosleep? Why is she bugging me at this ungodly hour? What times is itanyway. I looked at the clock and quickly got the time and also sawtwo other things sitting there. There was a beautiful fresh red rosewith a back ribbon tied around it and a note with his wax seal on it.Really can he not be any more typical? The rose was lovely though; Ipicked up the note and tore the seal. The pounding on my doorcontinued, sighing I put the note down and marched over to my doorand swung it open. Anne stood there with a huge smile plastered toher face. Why is she so happy? She barged into my room and sat on myvanity chair. She was a bit short so her legs were swinging back andforth in her excitement. I rolled my eyes at her giddiness.

"Why are you so happy?" her eyeslit up. I sat down on my bed and pulled the note to me.

"Did I tell you about the guy downthe hall?" I shook my head so she continued "Well he's one ofthe helpers and I think he likes me." She light out a giggle andbounced in her seat. I rolled my eyes yet again.

"Come on down I want you to meet therest of my friends; their all down in the cafeteria." She got upand dragged me all the way down to the lunch room. We came to a stopat a table not very far from the front doors. There sat were fivepeople, two girls and three guys. Wow, equal much?

"Guys, this is Saph, or reallySaphira." I waved at them with a shy smile. They waved back to me.

"Saph, this is Tommy, Rachael,Natalie, Jerk Face," The guy she pointed to rolled his eyes andgave her the finger. My jaw practically hit the floor when he didthat. They flip people off? They know how to do that? I need torecheck my history. He looked at me funny but shook his head. "Heclaims his mother named him Nicholas but I talked to her and she saidshe named him Jerk Face." I let out a giggle and he gave me asmile. "And this is Derrick." He gave me a hundred watt smile andheld out his hand to me. I put my hand in his and he gave it a kisson the knuckles. My face heated up and could only guess I wasblushing. His smile only grew if that was possible. I pulled my handaway and stepped back.

"Well it was nice meeting you all butI have to scram to my lessons. I don't want to be late." Ilaughed out. Their ears perked up at this.

"Who is your teacher?" Rachael, thequiet one, spoke up. I looked at her, what do I say? The truth? Nothey would never believe you...or they would think your crazy, Whowould be most likely to teach you. Damn my music lessons, I cant evenremember people from this time. I decided to just tell them thetruth.

"Oh a man named Erik Destler."

"Don't know him" they all said insync.

"Yea I don't think he is very wellknown but Anne's mother seems to think he is good enough. Wellanyways I must be off I am already late." I gave them all a finalsmile and waved as I hurried out of the room.

When I was back in the safety of mybedroom I sat back down on my bed and grabbed the note havingforgotten to read it before.

Saphira,

Meet me in my chambers at exactly 10o'clock.

-O.G.

I looked at the clock and read 9:48. Ohgood I still have time then realization hit me, ITS GOING TO TAKEFOREVER TO GET THERE! Putting the note back in its place I made surethe door was locked before sliding the mirror and making my waythrough.
