Chapter 23

I woke up in my room. As I let my eyes slowly adjust to the light, I heard movement beside me.

"Oh. Miss Blaze your awake. Take a drink of this before you get up."

Dolly lifted a cup half full with warm water and honey. I took a sip before sitting up in the bed. I looked around again. I don't know why but I just did.

"Ermmm. Look. The party.... We can call it off if you want. I know your not in the best condition-" Dolly was cut off.

"Best condition? I'm fine. Don't call the party off. Just find me some knee high boots and pair them up with something. I'll be fine." I explained as I turned onto my side, lifted the covers and got up.

I looked down and noticed that I was no longer in my uniform. I was in black, silk pijamas. I blouse and some shorts.

"First if all, who dressed me? And second, is there any other pijamas? Ones maybe.... Less revealing." I enquired searching Dolly's face for an answer.

"Oh yes. I dressed you. We thought it was better for me to than the rest and because your uniform was covered in blood. We decided you would heal better if you were in clean and comfy clothes. Is that alright?" Dolly asked. I could see that she was worried that I would get angry at her. I was a little uncomfortable that she saw me completely naked but in another sense I was happy that she took care of me and not anyone else.

"No. No its fine. Thank you." I gave her a reassuring smile.

"And for your second question I'll go and get you some new clothes don't worry." Dolly announced before disappearing in the closest.

I walked over to the dresser and took a glance at myself in the mirror.

Damn. I look terrible!

My make up was all over my face. My hair was like a birds nest and there were streams of mascara running down my face.

Was I crying? I hope not. I better not have!

Just then Dolly emerged out of the closet with pijamas. These looked exactly the same as the one I had on me except that the bottoms were long trousers. The blouse was long sleeved and had a colar instead of a v neck.

I accepted the outfit from Dolly and quickly slipped them on. She already seen me naked what's the point in going into the bathroom.

"When is the party on at?" I asked once I finished buttoning up my blouse.

"Its at eight so in 7 hours. That's what I told the school to tell the students." She cleared.

I nodded in understanding. After I waved and bidded her a goodbye as I left the room to find the boys. I walked tot he end of the hall and pressed the button to the lift.

As I waited for the door to open, two men dressed in white uniforms holding a beautiful decorated, four tier cake. They were walking on the lower level, below me, heading straight through entrance of the ballroom hall.

I guess that's for the party. Shame though, that I can't eat it. Ugh diets!

Ding

The door to evelator slid opened. I hopped in and let the door close. The elevator went down making my stomach turn. I jumped out and headed to the games room. I guessed that they would be there as there were games in there and knowing David he would have asked for a game of pool.

He always beat me in that when we were younger.

I reached the door and heard a loud cheer.

*Inside the room*

"Ha! I never loose."

"Man. I didn't think you were that good. Where did you learn to play like that though really?"

"My friend and her parents."

Me. I'm that friend and my parents are the ones he was talking about. We used to play against my mom. She was, again, another champion. Well known international snooker player. She used to teach us but we rathered to play pool.

I snuck through the parted door and tip toed over to a stool infront of the bar. The boys didn't hear me over their conversation.

I watched them play for a few minutes until Ryder chipped the white ball over the edge of the table and on to the floor. All of us burst out laughing. That's when the two boys noticed me.

"Since when did you wake up?" David enquire picking up the ball and placing it and his cue on the table. Ryder did the same and sat on the table.

"Like twenty minutes ago." I answered spining around on the stool.

"I heard you two are throwing a party. Haha 'wear suitable clothes or the gaurds have all rights to deny entrance' who thought that one up." David laughed.

Me and Ryder shared confused glances.

"Not me! I was unconscious on my bed upstairs." I defended my self throwing my hands up in defence.

"It wasn't me! I've been down here with David the whole time. Probably one of the maids." Ryder concluded.

"Hold up. You guys have maids?!" David shouted with wide eyes.

"Yep. Now you are coming with me. I dropping you off at your house so you can get ready." I announced sliding of the chair.

"Rude." Ryder sneered.

"Do you wanna come with us?" I asked spining around on my heel.

"Nah. Not with you driving anyways. Your reckless." Ryder complained. I heard a slight snigger and a scoff behind me which made me smile.

"Okay chiao!" I bidded and ran out with David. We reached the door and then I realised that.... I don't have my car. I left it at the school.

"Sh*t" I swore.

"You don't have your car do you?" David stopped beside me and laughed.

"Ha. You forgot your car! You forgot your car!" He started to tease.

Just then a light bulb switched on in my head. I grabbed my car keys and crossed my fingers. I pressed the top button.

Nothing happened.

Bing.

Suddenly my phone went off. I picked it out of my pocket and unlocked it.

The notification was from..... Lola?!

I read the email and it informed my that Lola was going to be at the gate in 15 minutes. At the bottom of the text was Lolas location.

Lola's driving over!
