Evelynn winced as she pulled the mesh sleeves over her left arm.

"another day of staying inside." she mumbled while repositioning the drape that was currently placed over her mirror. she didn't want to look at herself. she hated everything about herself. her hair, her body type, her voice, her face, her personality, and overall, she hated 'Evelynn'. besides, if she looked, it would just add another scar to her arm.

She walked out of the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. She always closes the door behind her. what if there were a monster in there? she wouldn't want to let it out while she's not home.

"why are you wearing long sleeves? it's 90°F out." her roommate Sydney said sitting on the bed reading a magazine startling her.

"Sydney," Evelynn forced a smile on her soft face. "you can't scare me like that!"

"you didn't answer my question." syds concerning tone concerned evelynn. had she figured out?

"i actually," she paused trying to ponder what to say next, but luckily, her phone went off.
she pulled her phone out of her pocket, and read the text.

9:03 AM
Gracie:
evelynn! meet me at the park, it's important.

"who is it," Sydney questioned looking up from her magazine pushing her long wavy black hair out of her face.

before she could even complete asking her question, evalynn was already sprinting to grab her black leather bag off of her bed. She threw her bag over her shoulder and dashed out of the door. "sorry it's an emergency, i have to go!" she heard Sydney start to say something, but the door slammed too fast making her words inaudible.

Sprinting down the hallway, evelynn looked at all of the dorm numbers waiting to arrive at 206. Room 206 was Gracie's room number, and she needed to grab a baggy sweatshirt from Gracie's room since she didn't have time to grab hers.

She twisted the knob and pushed in the door as fast as she could, tumbling in the room and being greeted by the confusion in Gracie's roommates face.
she caught her balance as she entered the room, and said one word.
"sweatshirt." she made finger guns.
"Got it." her roommate scrambled to Gracie's closet and tossed her an old zip up sweatshirt.
"thanks!" Evelynn smiled and left the room.

She continued her dash down the hallway to the elevator.
"here we go." she thought as the elevator doors shut.
