MACKENZIE'S POV:

Johnny gazed at me with an intimidating yet sensitive expression, one that screamed I can take your spot for the day, if you like. I'm quick to shake my head at him, smiling softly and accompanying myself over to my routinary accommodation. I'd wanted to speak to my friend– one of my only friends.

Faith's gaze was strong on me as I shyly walked over to my desk. Seeming as if she didn't have the energy to smile, nor move her eyes elsewhere. I wasn't scared of her, no, just fearful of communicating to her. Had she wanted to speak to me? Had she even considered me a friend?

Assembling myself down awkwardly, I keep my vision ahead. Avoiding to even glance at Faith's piercing glare, Ms. Chee clears her throat. "I notified you all the night before, we have a Literacy test today. Please shut your phones and get out your needed supplies."

Huffing out a mournful sigh due to the fact that I didn't study in the least bit with the time given to do so, I pluck out the first pencil I see evident in the desk, and throw it onto the table. Crossing my arms over my chest, Faith eyeballs me. My body only tenses up.

The four-page-long test laid brutally on the desk, mocking my choice of actions as Ms. Chee migrated on to handing Faith a paper. Cringing bitterly at the paper, I lace my fingers around the pencil and stare at it with clueless-looking eyes. I was truly doomed, perhaps informing Johnny of my struggles could've waited another night.

"Did you study?" Faith's voice was belatedly heard, after her return. The silence between the two of us being cut at last, there was a sense of urgency in her voice, it stretched out sounding growl-like, almost urging.

This is real. Faith was truly okay, and hadn't gotten captured. I'd be lying if I were to say I wasn't the least bit worried. Not even Lexi knew her whereabouts, and I more than anything don't plan on losing one of the only real people in my life.

Withdrawing my mouth and gazing at Faith with a set of wide eyes, I gulp, and manage to fight out a small smile. "No, not at all."

Our gaze broke, as Faith shrugged and reverted her eyes back to the paper. "That doesn't sound like you. I guess you really have changed." Tipping my head back the slightest back, I talk notice to her new snarky tongue she had developed over her disappearance. But it wasn't towards everyone, only appearing to be sent directly to me, and only me. Was she bothered by me? I hadn't exactly known what I'd done.

I really wasn't the same girl. Before, I wouldn't have had any confidence whatsoever. The belief of trusting myself to handle this according to plan wouldn't have been there before, but I couldn't care less at this point. Before, I would remain quiet and silently weep as my body tenses up, organs shutting down. But, I was different now. If I really was the same girl, I wouldn't have had the courage to speak "when and how exactly did I change?" I tilt my head, forcing the uncomfortable wind to the rear of my mind. That was the last thing to worry about at the moment.
