Mari
I sat up and hugged myself as cold chills ran down my spine and goose bumps appeared on my skin. I turned on the lights, got down from the bed and walked into my bathroom. I peed then went to the kitchen to warm water for a hot chocolate drink. I was feeling really cold.
After I made my drink, I went back to my room and wrapped myself up in one of the new jackets Will bought for me last week. I sat on my bed and sipped from my cup.
The dream I had flashed back into my senses and I tried hard not to remember but all to no avail. I really didn't want to have memories of Caleb again but I wonder what brought back these stupid flashes.
I spent about eight minutes drinking the hot chocolate and after that I fell asleep and I was grateful for that.
In the morning, I got ready for school. I had two papers to write and I hoped I could concentrate.
I met up with Eliza at her dorm
“hey morning!” she hailed as she jogged and stopped in front of me
“are you okay?” she asked immediately
“yeah, why do you ask?”
“well your eye lids are so dull and your skin is pale. And you're all wrapped up in a thick jacket while the temperature is cool today. Are you sick again?” she asked with concern
“I don't think I am. I only got a cold at night” I answered and she placed her palm on my forehead
“you're burning hot Mari” she said and I forced a smile
“I'm fine. It's just... shock I guess” I stated and we began to walk slowly down the road
“shock? What happened?”
“it was a dream... Nightmare. I woke up from it with a cold” I stated
“what's the nightmare about?”
I sighed
“it's... I'll tell you after the examination. Right now we need to skim and scan through our notes” I said and at first her face didn't seem like she was okay with that idea but she later complied
“okay, as you wish” she said
Will
I stepped down from my bed and the cold floor gave me some sort of strength. I walked to my window and sighed. It's evening and I've been in bed all day.
I walked back to my bed and sat down.
For the past one week I've been sick. Those drugs didn't really like my body system and they weakened me terribly. The doctor even said that my body had an allergy to one of the constituents of the drug.
I got back from the hospital three days ago and I'm getting better.
My door opened and Wini entered with a tray of fruits. Just in time, I'm hungry
“hey little bro” she said with a grin
“seriously?” I asked and she laughed
“you're awake. I didn't think you'd wake up until near dinner time” she said and dropped the tray on the table beside my bed
“these were supposed to be here before you wake up” she said and sat on the bed beside me. I picked up a red apple and took a bite
“when did you wake up?” she asked
“about three minutes ago” I replied with a funny voice because my mouth was busy
“okay. What would you like for dinner?” she asked
“what would you like for dinner?” I asked in return
“well, I feel like eating grilled fish and tomato puree”
“tasty” I said and took a bite again
“you've got quite an appetite today. That's a good sign”
“can I get water?” I asked
“you should be really happy I feel bad for you. I wouldn't turn into your messenger over night” she said and stood up.
I laughed
“I love you sis” I said and she scoffed and left the room. I chuckled and took another bite from the apple
I dropped the fruit and went to the bathroom. I eased myself and washed my hands. I went to the room and there came a knock on the door.
So Wini told a maid to bring the water?
“open” I said and walked to my closet to get a shirt because I was shirtless though I wore a long black trousers
The maid opened the door and entered then closed it gently. She didn't make any more sound, probably waiting for me to wear my shirt
I pulled out a yellow colored long sleeved shirt and wore it but I didn't button up.
I turned around and saw Marigold standing right in front of the bed with a tray in her hands. It contained a bottle of water and a glass cup
“Mari?”
She smiled brightly
“your water sir” she said and dropped the tray.
She was wearing a blue round neck sweater and blue jeans. Her hair was in a ponytail and she looked simple and cute. She took in her lips and brought them out, shiny and pink.
I walked to her and I didn't know when I cupped her face in my hands and took her lips in mine. She gasped as I kissed her and I doubt if her eyes are not wide open right now.
