I'd Never Do That to You

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry for not updating, but you know. Needed a little break and think about what I'm going to do next. Thank you for your patience and not pushing me. Here's a little bit longer chapter for y'all. Comment your thoughts!

 "Isak."

"No."

"Isak!"

"No!"

"Come on", Jonas sighed. "Get up."

I didn't want to get up. I wanted to sleep and forget what was going on in my life right now. I didn't want to feel sad or frustrated or angry. I wanted to sleep peacefully and forget everything. But, as Jonas started pulling my covers off, I had no choice but to suck it up and get out of the bed.

When I checked the time I narrowed my eyes. "Why would you wake me up this early?"

Eskild's alarm went off just then and he groaned, turned it off and rolled on his back, continuing sleeping.

"You wanted me to wake you up so you can go to take a shower, remember?" he said.

"Oh, right." I had forgotten.

"So let's go."

"You are coming too?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Why not."

We took our towels and shampoos and left the cabin, leaving Magnus, Mahdi and Eskild sleep there. We were sure they would wake up on their own so we didn't bother to wake them up.

As we walked towards the showers, we didn't talk much. Both of us were still sleepy and we shivered when we felt wind touching our skins. It wasn't necessarily cold, just a little bit chilly. It would change when the sun would go up in the sky and start warming us again.

We took our time under the warm water because there was no need to hurry. We had plenty of time. By the time we got out of the showers we heard the door open and saw Magnus, Mahdi, Eskild and bunch of other guys walking in.

Jonas and I walked out, nodding at the guys. We made our way back towards the cabin, talking.

"How about swimming, should we go there after breakfast?" I suggested.

Jonas shook his head.

"No", he said. "We just showered."

"Right", I said. "What do you suggest, then?"

He thought about it for a moment.

"How about", he said, "if we go to make the chairs? Or start them, at least. It could be fun plus I have a cool idea what to paint on my chair."

I laughed. "Sure, why not. We anyway have to start now if we want to finish them on time."

I opened our cabin's door and we got in. I put my towel away and we got dressed quickly before heading to the Great Hall.

Dining room was surprisingly empty. Maybe everyone's feeling exceptionally tired today or we were just early. Either way there was only a few people besides us as we sat on our table.

Soon enough people started walking in and when Magnus, Mahdi and Eskild came the dining room was almost full. They sat on our table.

"I almost fell asleep in the shower", Magnus said.

"Why's everyone so sleepy today?" I asked. I felt relatively fine. Jonas seemed to feel the same way as me. He shrugged.

"Because last night it was too hot to sleep", Mahdi said.
