"I... I just don't." I stare out into the rain. 'Why should I answer? It's not like I took a moment to stand like, 'hey this thing will hold it just so I get to see what could possibly kill my in a second's notice' I mean, please.' I place my hands in my pockets.

"Hey girls, you should start heading home. The weather's starting to get pretty bad." The red haired boy reminds them.

"Mm... Yeah." Jade fiddles around, stepping in front of me. "Shade... I... It's your choice to follow me to my dorm or not. I won't take you anywhere against your will unless it's for our safety." She says over her shoulder, the rain turning everything a light grayish color. "If you want to come, it's your decision. But make it quick, I've got to the dorm."

She turns away from me, starting into the rain. I take a while, deciding that I don't have anywhere to go. 'Where am I supposed to go? To Ms. Lurie just so I can leave in the morning? That would be a better choice, but it's not like I took the time to map out the route to her house. I still need to decide where to go. Though I have a pretty good idea. Plus, I don't have any idea what to do. I think... I can figure that out later. First, follow Jade.' I run out, quickly catching up to Jade. She seems in deep thought, deeper than me. 'I don't think she even heard me run up. Does she even hear the rain?' I wonder, finding that we're at the dorms.

I grab her arm, causing her to jump and turn around. "Calm down." I sigh. "You would've walked into the wall." My hands slip into my pockets.

She takes a minute to focus, proving my to be correct. Her cheeks bubble up. "I knew that." She puts up her umbrella with all the others.

"Mhm." I nod, rolling my eyes.

We go up to her dorm, which she opens. "I never had another girl in my dorm... I don't know if I already told you... So feel free to do whatever." She says, taking off her shoes, pulling out her pajamas. She changes, letting down her hair, brushing it as she pull out one of her books. "Feel free to read. Though, all of my books are revolving around the different kinds of mythology. As well as some of Greek mythology's heroes."

I pick up one with a familiar title. "Perseus?"

She turns her head away, returning to her book. "Mm, yeah... I-Is that a problem? I do have different heroes." She wonders, turning on her lamp light and off the main one.

I hums a bit, opening the book. "No, this is... satisfactory." I sits at her desk, reading the book. 'I always did like this hero. Well... His name. It's kinda cool. Not very common you find a kid named Perseus these days.' I smile to myself, reading about the hero.

Silence passes through as we sit and read for about an hour or two. The only thing heard is breathing and the turning of pages. It's been about 2 hours when I hear shuffling from behind me, the lamp suddenly going off, the desk lamp still on.

"Shade, find some pjs and go to sleep. Unless... you wanna miss school tomorrow."

I glance her way, not interrupting her.

"I know going to school when you don't need to... is boring and irritating. I think you'd enjoy some time away from me anyway. Plus, you're probably a year ahead. So coming would be useless. You'd learn nothing. Basically, if you want to go to school tomorrow, wake up with me. If not, just pretend or continue to sleep." She lays down.

I mutter under my breath, grabbing a pair of too-big-for-Jade shorts and a tank top, changing into them. I crawl onto the top bunk, pulling up the covers.

~ Dream ~

It's a girl!" Someone shouts. A small baby is placed into the arms of a dirty blonde haired woman, someone leading in a hyperactive baby. One who looks like she can do that of what a 3 year old can.

She smiles tiredly, looking at the child in her arms, saying, "I think we'll name he-"

"Jade! I wanna name her Jade!" A raven haired girl says slowly but loudly. "Can we name her Jade? Please Mommy~" The toddler rests her hands on her mommy's lap, a pouty face on. She looks barely a year old, but can talk so clearly.

"Yes sweetie. We can name her Jade. Jade-" her last name is cut off as my familiar dream shifts.

~ Dream Shift ~

"Bye, Jade! Be back in a minute!" The girl shouts, going before the edge of a cliff, greenery going on around the trio of females for miles. Nothing but beautiful nature.

"Bye bye!" A golden haired toddler waves from a picnic blanket, a bag laying before her. She plays with a golden teddy bear that she seems very attached to, her fairly long golden hair shining brightly in the light of the sun.

The raven headed child follows her mother to the cliff, holding hands with the woman who smiles down at her. The little girls hair shimmers in the sun's light, eyes sparkling happily as she smiles back up at what must be her mother.

She goes to the edge of the cliff, looking over the edge, and is gone. She disappears in a flash of light followed by a loud boom. Things slowly dim. Though I can hear the faint sound of a baby crying.

~ Dream End ~

I jump slightly, lightning shining as thunder claps outside. I see Jade getting ready with a white face. I lay, listening as she mutters to herself.

"It's just a sound. It can't hurt you. It's just nature taking its course." She mutters, grabbing her back pack, color draining from her face as thunder booms. "It's just nature." She mutters, starting to the door. She reluctantly opens the door, leaving an umbrella here. I see her outside the window. She seems fine with the small, lower bits of thunder, but jumps with the louder crashes and booms. Almost like cannons.

'She must really hate thunder. Or... be scared of how loud is. I wonder why.' I slip out of bed, carefully stepping onto the floor. I turn on a lamp, closing the curtains of the dorm. I pull out my black attire, changing into it carefully. I switch my electronic to this hoodie and plug my in headphones.

I go to the bathroom, quickly putting on my small bit of makeup. Making sure my lipstick is right on point. I leave, grabbing the leftover umbrella. 'It's black. Guess she knows what I like.' I smile, raising it above my head and starting to the school. 'I think I can spend one more day here. I don't think that'll be too much trouble now would it?' I jog in the rain, trying my hardest to ignore the throbbing pain in my head that tells me I'm being followed.

Unknown POV

"Just a little longer. Then you can." The voice tells me. I follow the black headed teen I remember being called Shade. "Just a bit longer." I watch, seeing the raven head go the same way the golden haired girl went.

"Shade... what're you doing?" I wonder aloud, walking a great distance from her, her still in view.
