Early Tuesday morning, Daisy woke up with a start. She had a bad dream. No, not bad - unsettling. She dreamed she and the others were at some sort of museum. All of a sudden an alarm went off, signaling an earthquake. They all ran outside and were under what looked like a huge suspension bridge.
"What are we doing under a bridge during an earthquake?" Daisy asked. They understood what she meant and they ran back inside to a room of all windows. Then she saw the ground being kicked up, rushing towards her. It reminded her of the scene in Armageddon where the meteor hit in France. Before the ground blew up around them, she woke up. She sat up in bed, trying to breathe normally. She looked around the room, calming herself at the sound of her roommates steady breathing. She glanced over at the clock and saw that it was 2:45. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the dream. She rarely dreamed and when she did they never had a storyline. She laid back down and tried to forget about it, but she couldn't shake the feeling something was about to happen.
Later that morning it seemed as if were hard for everyone to get up. Kat was already up before the alarm went off, and was going to each of the beds and getting them to wake up. Shelby and Juliette snapped at her, like they normally did when she tried to wake them up like that. Daisy got up before Kat had a chance to shake her and went to take a shower. A little later they met up with the boys and walked to the lodge for breakfast. Daisy walked by herself behind everyone.
"Whats up, Daisy?" Ezra asked, walking beside her.
"Nothing," Daisy said, staring at the ground.
"You just seem off in space."
"Well, I had an unsettling dream last night. I never have dreams. I keep thinking something is going to happen."
As soon as she said that, Shelby tripped on a root and fell, but Scott and Auggie caught her before she hit the ground. Ezra laughed.
"Maybe you should give up your dream of mortuary cosmetics and be a psychic instead."
Daisy had to laugh. Nothing was going to happen, she was just a little shaken from her dream. It was pretty funny that Shelby fell right after she said that, and she laughed to herself as they walked into the lodge
They got their food and sat down at their usual table.
"How did you sleep last night, Shel?" Scott asked.
"Good, but I would have slept better if Katherine didn't have to shake me awake," Shelby said.
"Well, it was either me or Sophie singing that Cattle Call song. I thought I was doing you a favor," Kat said.
"She doesn't sing the Cattle Call song!"
"She does. You've just never heard it because I always get you up on time."
"Whatever."
Kat knew Shelby didn't really mind being woken up and laughed along with the others.
Peter, Sophie, and Roger came in and went around to different tables. Peter headed over to them, and knelt down between Scott and Shelby.
"You guys, classes are cancelled today. I want you to go to your dorms and stay there until someone comes to get you," he said softly.
"Why? Why are classes cancelled?" Shelby asked.
"We'll explain later." Peter stood up and went to another table. The group looked at each other, confused.
"I guess we'll find out later. But we have a free morning ahead of us!" Auggie said.
"Yeah, but we have to stay in our dorms," Juliette said.
"They'll never know if we go shoot some hoops for a few minutes," Scott said.
Juliette shook her head. "I don't understand guys and sports."
As they left, they noticed a majority of the school were hanging around in the front room. Whatever Peter was going to tell them, he was going to tell everyone else first. Daisy had a sudden flash from her dream and started. Ezra put a hand on her shoulder and lead her out behind the others. Peter and Sophie watched them from the doorway to the kitchen.
"I think I'm making the right decision by telling them separately. I mean, two of them are affected. Its very...scary...that two of our students are affected by it, but scarier they're in the same group," Peter said.
"I think you're making the right decision, too," Sophie said, hugging Peter. They waited a few more minutes then went to talk to the other groups.
