Love sickness

Chapter Eight

    I sat in the classroom, it was Wednesday, people were asking out people and everyone seemed to already have a date. I didn't want a date, no one even knew who I was. Only my friends and they know I don't want a date, even if they wanted to ask me out, they couldn't, because I would say No.
    My hand pushed into my face and Mr.Crash rambled on about something I didn't care about. Blake leaned over, " do you know what's going on? " he asked.
    I looked over at him and mouthed out " no ".
    We both sighed and looked back that the screen, the bell rang, I walked down the hall, " hey Viv you coming to the Library? " Winny asked.
    " can't control room, later thought " I smiled and turned around rushing down the hallway.
    " hey Dave how are you today? " I smiled sitting down in the chair.
    " your in a cheery mood today, did someone get asked out to the dance? " he asked.
    " no are you crazy, i'm happy I haven't been asked out " I smiled.
    " weird you would be happy for that ".
    " I can take it from here, see you before dinner " I smiled.
    " ok something is off with you, but i'm not going to renew your good mood so, see yeah " he walked out of the control room, I looked to make sure he was gone, I rolled the chair back to the computer.
    I pulled out my notebook and flipped to the page I was writing on a couple days ago, something still seemed fishy.
    Dave only told me to look a certain buttons, but I needed to looked at the other ones.
I looked around, I found a large piece of tap, I pulled it off to see a button labeled, room 525, why would that be crossed off?, I looked around, then pressed the button, on the computer beside me, a room came up.
It was all green, trees everywhere, flowers everywhere, there were birds.
There's an outside world, inside, why does no one know about this? I need to go there after dinner, I didn't care if I got in trouble I needed to see something like the outside world.
Dave came back early today letting me have a chance to go check out the room.
" where are you rushing too? " Dave asked.
" dinner " I smiled running out of the room, I walked down a hallway, I stopped at a sign that said Rooms 400 to 600 and a arrow pointing to the right. I looked around and continued down the hallway.
I looked at all the room signs. " room 525 " I said, I looked around again making sure there was no one.
I opened the door, closing it behind me, I turned around.
" wow " I said.
I bent down to feel the ground it was real grass, I went and felt the trees, they were real too. Everything was real. I walked over and touched the pink flower, it was so soft, I hadn't seen the outside world in so long, yet it feels like I never left. How did no one know about this room, why would they keep a secret. I looked up squinting my eyes, a bird flew past the sky got dark.
I've seen this before, in my dream, the bad feeling it was there again. My gut dropped, " hey you " I spun around to see a man standing by the doorway.
" your not supposed to be in here " he said staring me in the eyes.
" i'm sorry I got lost, what is this place? " I asked.
" you don't need to know, but you do need to leave and if I see you here ever again i'm calling the head " he said walking me out of the room, I took one last look, before walking to the eating hall.
I joined everyone at the table, " where were you? " Trevor asked.
" I.. I- " I couldn't get the words out, I was watching the gard by the front door.
" hello, Vivian " Samuel waved his hand in front of my face.
" where were you? " Trevor asked again.
" I.. I was helping Dave with something " I said.
" I don't buy that for a second " Leila said.
" it's true, i'm not lying one of a the computers weren't working " I said, lying right to their faces.
" couldn't Dave have done that alone? " Quinn asked.
" yes, but he wanted my help " I said.
" ok we believe you " Blake said.
" I know you guys don't, but i'm telling the truth " I argued again.
" ok, ok we get it, you were with Dave " Winny said.
" ok no, no, not in that way, you know what, i'm done with this conversation, believe what you want to believe " I sighed.
" so does that mean Dave asked you to the dance " Leila punching my arm.
" no, I have no interest in Dave one bit, how did we even get to this topic? " I asked.
" don't matter how, but if you don't have a interest in Dave then... who do you have a interest in? " Blake asked.
" no one I like no one " I reassured them.
" can, we just switch the topic like when do we get our outfits for the dance? " I asked.
" during class tomorrow they get dropped off at out rooms " Winny smiled.
" wait Leila what kinds of makeup are you doing this year? " Samuel asked.
" you'll have to wait and see " she smiled.
" Makeup? " I questioned.
" yes, makeup, every year Leila does some crazy makeup style " Samuel looked over and smiled at Leila.
Winny and Quinn sat having there own conversation.
" i'm still shocked about Davian " Blake said.
I turned my head, " what is that? " I asked.
" you and Dave's ship name " Blake said.
" Trevor can we switch spot for a sec? " I asked.
I moved over beside, Blake and looked him in the eyes, " what are you doing? " he asked.
" oh nothing " I said, as I jabbed him in the side making him fall on the ground, Quinn and Winny looked up to see what had happened, everyone started to laugh.
" that's what ya get " I joined in laughing.

Quinn and I walked back to the room after dinner, I flopped down on the bed.
" ok, I know you were lieing a dinner about what you were doing " Quinn confronted me.
" where were you? " she sounded concerned.
" ok, one calm down you sound like my Aunt Tilly, two why does it matter? " I asked sitting up. She walked over and sat beside me.
" when I came here, I left my, my six year old sister behind, with my drunk ass of a dad, when you came it was like you filled that spot, i'm just looking out for you " Quinn said.
" I'm sorry, what was her name? " I asked.
" Lucy, she would be eight now, but I need to know where you were " she said again.
" I found something amazing, a room just like the outside world, everything in it is real " I said.
" that's not possible " she said.
" I saw it with my own eyes and it matched my dream I had " I said.
" the creepy one? " she asked.
" that's the one " I said.
" stay away from there, it doesn't sound safe " she said getting up and walking into the bathroom.
I got up and followed her, as she put her hair into a bun to wash her face, " I can't just leave it alone, there's a whole outside world down here, shouldn't we tell someone? " I asked.
She looked over to me, " no, don't tell anyone, promise me you wont " I saw the fear in her eyes.
" what aren't you telling me? " I asked.
" Vivian, promise me " she said again not answering my question.
" fine " I walked back over to my bed and sat down, if she thought of me as a sister she would tell me what's going on. I knew something big was happening, this place couldn't be so perfect, nothings perfect.
