Diagramma Laterale #1
It was the night after Ulrich and Odd had run out of Science class again pleading illness. That had been the first time in over five weeks since they'd been missing for a whole day without an explanation.
The area was a silent whisper as Sissi closed the door to her room. Lying on her bed, she let her hair fall from it's holds, playing tired across her pillow as she thought over the days events, What a day...ohhh, what was Regine thinking to suggest us signing up for the Beach Cleanup of Renault Shores. I actually might have signed up for that (Simply because that's where I go every break...), but come on, in front of everyone! Who's going to say yes? Now their all going to avoid her like the Plague now that they know she's a 'tree hugger', it's too bad, I kind of lik-hello!?
Lost in her train of thought, Sissi had just noticed her window was wide open, wind whistling and a temperature drop very noticeable from the goose bumps upon her flesh. Muttering irritably to herself about the interruption, Sissi swung her legs off the bed, touching down softly on blue carpet, good quality material not in most of the dorms. That's what a principal dad gets you, she thought with a small thin smile, drawing the window closed and turning back towards her bed.
Throwing her shirt past the closet's open door, she slipped off her shoes as well and walking back to her bed, it was this time that she felt the scarp of paper lying on the floor against the sole of her foot. "Hmph, what's this?" she wondered curious, gingerly picking up the small square of dirty paper, it was mostly blank except for a few words largely spaced on the paper.
Hello
Is it hard to say yes?
Generi
"What in the?...what is this?" gasping slightly, Sissi dropped the writing and ran back to her window, throwing the window open quickly and peering into the silent darkness.
But alas...there was nothing,
"Hmmmm...One of Odd's pranks" She said to herself with weary annoyance , crumpling the paper into a ball and throwing it away into the wastepaper basket behind her without even watching it go in.
Lifting the sheets over her head, she slid onto her bed, snuggling blissfully and stared again at her now quiet window, looking for something that was nowhere inside her room. Then huffing angrily to herself once more, she turned her body the other way and tried to sleep, forget what happened.
Outside, a confused shadow flickered a reflection briefly before dissapering in a blink.
