Satan saved me

"What did you just say?"

Zoey asks as confused as Lauren had been murmuring since the morning. Once the professor started the class they had forgotten about the scene in the morning but Lauren had it different. She couldn't focus on the lecture either on her course. And even after the professor ended the class, she remained in a daze. She was dragged to the cafeteria by Noah and Zoey. Noah went to grab them lunch while they took a seat at one of the tables. Having a lot in mind she was having an explosion inside her head.

Unaware of the words Zoey said, Lauren kept conflicting with her and her thoughts. Seeing Lauren out off normal as she could sense it despite they just met, Zoey narrow her eyes observing Lauren with her suspecting gaze. She did find her out of normal once the scene ended in the class. But what she didn't understand was why Lauren has been acting strange since then. Was something bothering her? She felt concerned for her friend. Just then Noah joins them with burgers and fries. He took a seat next to Zoey.

"Noah... I feel something odd." Zoey speaks with her eyes fixed on Lauren who had been staring down at her nail scrunching her face from time to time. Noah glances at Lauren once he hard Zoey and glances back at Zoey nodding his head slowly with frowned brows. "What happened?" Noah question glancing between Zoey and dazed Lauren. Zoey shrugs her shoulder as she herself was not aware of the reason behind this situation of hers'.

"I don't know. She has been acting off ever since Ryan left the class after that all commotion." Zoey speaks trying to analyze the scene. Noah nods his head as he gets her words as he too noticed her yelling and talking to herself. "I know what we can do."

"What?" Zoey questions excitedly.

"Simply ask her. " Noah says just to receive a smack on his head. He groans in pain massaging his head where he got smacked really hard by his new-made friend. "Why did you hit me?" He questions with a pout in his face. Zoey scoffs glaring him while he sulks on his seat.

Due to their yells and scream, Lauren gets distracted from her thoughts. She looks around and gets surprised at the sudden change of place. Then it hits her, she remembers coming her being dragged by the other two. But the thing going on her mind, for now, was why are they fighting? She then bangs on the table with the back of her finger making them finally stop and watch her.

"Why are you two fighting? what are you, kids? Fighting like that?" Laurens says while they shake their head no laughing awkwardly.

"But what are you too? Acting like a crazy?" Noah says grabbing his burger and munching a bite after giving her a questioned look. "What do you mean? Huh?" Lauren questions confused at his question. "I mean why have you been talking to yourself and making fun of you? Just tell us why?" Noah forces her to spit out the truth but Lauren just knits her brow and keeps looking at him. Zoey who had been silently munching on her fries listen to them bickering. "Yah! Lauren, what has gotten into you huh?" Zoey speaks with her mouth filled with fries.

"I don't get it. What do you mean, guys?" Lauren says looking at them innocently.

They both sign glancing between each other.

"Today after Ryan left the class.... you suddenly started yelling and cursing. So What happened that you were going insane?" Zoey speaks trying to make her remember her outbreak in the class. Upon her words, Lauren widens her eyes in realization. She awkwardly laughs looking away as she didn't know how she would tell them what had happened. "Nothing. " She says finally grabbing her burger and taking a bite.

"Come on! Now spill out. Hum. We know there is something." Noah urges her to speak. Lauren signs looking at them with a pout on her face.

"Actually the girl they were talking in the morning was..."

"Who? Do you know her? How? "

"Yea tell us who that lucky girl is?"

They say excitedly but she was hesitating to speak. She looks away and heaves a sign looking back at them.

"That unlucky girl is Lauren."

She says closing her eyes for her friend's outburst but she couldn't hear anything. She opens one of her eyes and peeks at them but she saw them eyes her with frowned brows and confusion plastered all over their face.

"Who might that be? You already found another girl with the same name as yours? WOW!" Noah speaks excited over its new discovery which was what he thought. Lauren hits her head with her fist completely amazed by their way of thinking. She really thought if they were stupid at the moment. And having to repeat them again made her sign in exhaustion.

"Aish! NO. Even if someone with the same name as me existed, I wouldn't know." She says munching on her burger aggressively. "Then about whom were you talking about?" Zoey question then widen her eyes as she gets what she really meant. "Yo...You?" She questions again pointing her index finger at Lauren. Lauren nods her head.

"What? Who?" Noah says still clueless. Zoey then raises her hand and points out to Lauren. Noah to point out Lauren with his index finger. "Her?" Zoey nods her head still shocked over this new information while Noah cokes on his burger.

"OMG!! Really?" Noah says

Lauren nods her head. "But how? What happened? Tell us everything." Lauren clears her throat as his sudden order. "Umm yesterday, after we went apart... I returned back to the parking area to get my car. And I had a lot of things going on in my mind. And without me knowing, I was completely lost in my thoughts. I didn't know where I was and where I was walking. Then... " she signs and drinks the water served on the table. She clears her throat and looks at them. They were waiting for her to continue munching on their lunch.

"Then I heard someone yelling which got me out of my thoughts. I just came back to the real-life and my eye fell on the car that was speeding towards me. I got so shocked that I froze on my feet. My inside told me to move but my body couldn't me. I thought I would die at that moment. And I closed my eyes anticipating the crash and the pain I would feel because of the impact. I was scared as hell."

She says with a sign and clears her throat before drinking the water. "Then what happened?" Zoey speaks with a worried tone. "Then... I felt nothing."

"What?" Noah says confused by her words as Zoey frowns at her. "Yea. I felt nothing. I got pulled by someone. I was so scared that I got a panic attack at that instant. I couldn't even stand. That somebody holds me in his embrace and I remember he was arguing with someone before I got faint. And I remember waking up by the nurse in the nursing area. Then I stood up and went back home." Lauren says with an exhausted sigh.

"You mean to say he... That Ryan was the one who saved you?" Zoey questions focusing at her.

Lauren shrugs. "I think so... he looked at me and rolled his eyes before he left the class. And he was the one to know about it. So, I guess it's him." The other two just listen to her.

"I am glad that you are fine."

"Yea. It's good to see you all okay." The two say with a smile.

"But I don't get this. How can he fire a professor at this university." Zoey says and Lauren nods her head acknowledging her words as she too had thought the same. "Because he can." Speaks Noah catching their attention. "What do you mean by that?"

"yes, How can he? He is a student as well." The girls question completely confused and puzzled.

"Because he is someone who has the power to do so. As his dad is the owner or says the principle of this damn university." At this new piece of info they received, they both had their eyes wide open and completely shocked.

"WHAT?!"

They both shout at the same time.
