Chapter 36: It's A Brand New Day
POV: Celestina Aurora
RING RING RING RING
My alarm clock rang. Hearing it made me frustrated... damn it. I want to sleep more... I just want to go and continue drifting to sleep in my bed as it felt so relaxing here... my brain is telling me to stand up while my body is telling me to stay. DANG, IT. THIS IS SO HARD... COME ON, PLEASE I NEED TO GET READY FOR THE DAY...
"Hello..." I hear a faint sound coming from outside my room. It was soft-spoken and feminine. That must be Meghan. Usually, I'm used to Lawrence kicking open the door when I don't wake up so it's a good thing I have Meghan here to motivate me.
I opened the door slowly, seeing Meghan in her bed head. "Good morning." She gave me a smile, her hair was messy and uneven. It was very rare for me to see her without makeup actually so the way she looks like this kind of surprises me.
"What time is it?" She yawned, rubbing her eyes out from the drowsiness.
"Well, it's 6 am. Classes start at 8 am so I guess we should probably take a shower now and go ahead and eat lunch." I recommended it to her. She smiled, putting her hair in a ponytail. "Actually I might go back to my room now. I need to set up my bag for school. I haven't exactly gotten that fixed." She chuckled.
"Oh. You can go on ahead. Please tell Lawrence to go downstairs alright?" I requested her as she walked out the door. Although she didn't really respond... well that's odd... I thought nothing of it and decided to look through the fridge on what we could eat.
The fridge was filled with food. Eggs, bread, some frozen chickens, and some frozen fries. I guess I could have a meal if I cook any of these.. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COOK! I might start a fire in the dorm room or something... I'd rather not risk it...
Hm.. although should I take a shower first or eat breakfast first? QUESTION of the century... SOMETHING THAT WILL DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF EVERYTHING. I MEAN COME ON. BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY AND IF I BLOW IT I MIGHT BLOW MEETING EVERYONE ON MY CLASS THE FIRST DAY!
If I EAT FIRST AND THEN TAKE A SHOWER... THEN THAT MIGHT WASTE SO MUCH TIME... I HAVE TO GO BACK HERE TO TAKE A SHOWER AFTER I EAT AT THE CAFETERIA...
But if I take a shower here first and then come eat in the cafeteria... MY BREATH MY STINK BECAUSE I BRUSHED MY TEETH BEFORE I ATE SO THAT MEANS MY TEETH MIGHT BECOME DIRTY AND THAT MIGHT CAUSE EVERYONE TO HATE ME...
OH MY GOD... I'm totally freaking out I-
I hear the door creaking from behind me, a familiar face enters it, with an annoyed expression on his face. "What are you exactly doing mumbling to yourself? I'm surprised that you were able to wake up. It takes certain skills to wake you up."
He came in first thing in the morning, jabbing insults to me. I'm a bit annoyed by that actually. I pouted, giving him a smirk. "So how is the killjoy. Did you have fun sleeping alone upstairs?"
"A little too much fun actually. Seems like I wasn't able to handle the excitement of what happened last night." He sighed, heading straight to the kitchen to where I was. He then looks at the fridge and then turns to me. "Does eggs on toast sound good with you?"
"Yes. It does sound pretty delicious to me. Although what do you mean you had a little too much excitement last night?" I responded although I'm a little bit curious as to what he mentioned there.
He ignored my words, continuing to grab the eggs and slicing the bread and putting them in the toaster. He then sighed, "Let's just say a person that's not supposed to be here, came to this dorm area." He muttered it out so cryptically... can't he just say it straightforwardly.. what does he mean by that?
"By the way? How does the slumber party with Meghan? Did something good happen to the two of you?" He turned the ball to my court, asking me questions about last night.
"Well... it wasn't particularly eventful. We just talked and stuff and ate a light snack then we decided to sleep. Since we are going to school, we didn't really want to stay up late. Although I did hear some kind of noise outside, some kind of loud banging of wood from what I remembered." I told him my story about what happened last night, his voice grew deeper, he looked at me seriously.
"Did you see a person outside? During the time I went out, or any sound of footsteps?" He started to seriously interrogate me.
"No... I don't... why? What happened? You're really starting to really scare me, Lawrence." I started to get filled with worry... why is he not telling me something... something must have happened but he refuses to tell me... "Can you tell me, Lawrence? I really would like to know what happened.. I don't like being left in the dark like this..."
He sighed, avoiding eye contact from me. I knew it. Something did happen there but what could have happened...
"Don't you trust me? As your princess, I order you to tell me what you're hiding from me!" I commanded him, I was done with him hiding things from me. Why can't he possibly tell me...
"Princess... alright... I'll tell you what happened... You see last night... so-" His words were interrupted by an eerie knock from outside the door.
"Oh? Someone is outside the door? Who could that be?" I attempt to stand up from my chair to head to the door.
"NO! DON'T OPEN THAT!" Lawrence shouted stopping me.
"Wait what if it's Meghan? Why don't you want to open the door?" I asked him, confused as to why he was so nervous all of a sudden.
DING! My phone notified me that I received a phone message from Meghan. "I just arrived at my room, thank you so much for letting me stay..."
That person.... that isn't Meghan...
