  Cold air hit her exposed skin with such starkness, the goosebumps rose instantly. Her mind was completely taken off from the events taken place. Her mind was only on what happened last night with Edward. His melancholic expression, and the strange request he provided.

The feeling rose in the pits of her
stomach again, the taste of bile filled her throat but she didn't eat anything. Had she been catching a virus this whole time, is that why she had been usually tense?

No, that is merely being what a teenager is, just tense. For you don't know what your fate leads to, and it is simply a mystery. Whether it was a pit or a ladder she didn't know, but she knew her fate was going to be completely chaotic.

"Miss Angelli!" A voice called out, breaking Talia's train of thought. Instead of being startled, she slowly picked up her head and idly stared at her teacher. "Are you alright? You look sick" Mrs. Larkin pointed out.

"She always looks sick" A girl pointed out, turning back to laugh with her friends. This made Felicity wince a bit, though she was skeptical of Talia, she never dared to make fun of her.

"That's quite enough Nessa" Felicity spoke out. Natalia lifted her head again to look at her defendant, her eyes discretely thanking her.

Felicity saw this, the girl was finally warming up to her. "Agreed Felicity, Nessa there is no time for petty remarks. Natalia, you're pale and sickly go to the nurse" Mrs. Larkin said, handing her the pass.

Natalia breathed heavily as she carefully took the pass from her teacher. She opened her mouth to speak but at first words never came out. "Thank you" she managed to croak out, before hurrying to the door.

The bile taste was still there, she felt so weak. "Natalia?" A voice said behind her. She slowly turned around while clutching her stomach. She spotted Jonathan, Martha, and Lisa.

Her stomach churned even more at the view of Martha in front of her. Martha looked fine however, merely a façade.

"Are you alright girl? You look paler than copy paper" Lisa said, earning a jab from Jonathan. Natalia tried to speak but she felt herself grow weaker, and she let her legs go out.

Her head came into contact with the floor, she was sprawled on the floor with sweat beaming down her body. Jonathan ran to her aid quickly and grabbed her body towards him.

"Get the nurse now!" He yelled to both Lisa and Martha. Lisa ran to catch the nurse, yet Martha stayed put. Jonathan furrowed his brows, yet Martha kept her eyes on Natalia. Tears brimmed her sockets, and she clutched her palm tightly.

Jonathan snapped Martha out of it by yelling out her name. "I-I don't want any- any of this" Martha said as she ran with Lisa to find the nurse.
