98- Chemistry

Ashley

I woke up pretty much earlier than anyone else because I was famished. I walked to the kitchen to heat up the chicken soup and though my eyes were still woozy from sleep, I managed to keep them open.

I was a bit alarmed when Emily sat on a table opposite mine and was staring at me in a odd way.

"You are awake. " I decided to break the uncomfortable ice between us.

"I couldn't sleep. " I heard Emily say.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's nothing. Just a bad dream. " Emily tilted her head to the side. 

"Alright." I said and rose up slowly to pour the hot chicken soup into a ceramic bowl. I sauntered over to the table and immediately picked up my spoon, placing the hot soup into my mouth. I could feel her staring at me and somehow it sent something panicking within me. 

"Why are you still looking at me?" I asked as I took another scoop.
