Chapter 2: After The Storm
Daisy gently opened the door while she edged her way back into the girls' dorm. Carefully, she removed her boots, and hung her sopping coat on the hook, before returning to her bed.
"Dais? What are you doing?" asked a voice groggily.
"Nothing, Shel. Go back to bed," she snapped back. That was very unlike her, but she had too much to think about to apologize.
Shelby carefully walked over to Daisy's bedside. "If you don't tell me now, you will have to tell me tomorrow."
"Maybe that would be best. I just need to think right now," Daisy replied. "But thanks," she continued as her friend tiptoed over to her own bed.
"No prob, but the next time you decide to have a little nature walk at two in the morning, be a little quieter," said Shelby as she climbed into her bed and drifted off to sleep, leaving Daisy in her own bed, staring at the ceiling.
Everything will be clearer in the morning, or at least I hope so, she thought to herself, before falling asleep.
She was awoken the next morning to the jubilant cries of Juliette and her sunny disposition. "Give it up, Juliette. You are the only one that thinks it is a good morning, so let me sleep five more minutes without your chattering." For once it was not Shelby that was shooting insults at the cheery brunette.
Juliette seemed alarmed, and stomped off in the direction of the bathroom to take a shower, while the two others continued their sleep. Now that Kat had graduated, the room seemed a lot emptier.
A knock on the door was heard just as Daisy was beginning to close her eyes again, which was followed by the voice of their illustrious leader, Peter. "Rise and shine girls! Breakfast in thirty!" he boomed, before continuing on to the boy's cabin.
"Is it just me, or is he a natural at those wake-up calls?" Daisy questioned rhetorically.
Shelby gave a small laugh as she pulled herself out of bed. She walked over to the window next to Daisy's bed and looked out of it, pulling the curtains aside. "How'd you sleep?"
"Uh, pretty well. My mind is just really...cluttered right now."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Shelby was trying to be sympathetic or understanding toward her friend. She had no idea what was troubling her, but knew that she would feel better once Daisy had told her.
"Later...Later would be good," she responded from her bed, her head still lying on the pillow, eyes to the ceiling.
Juliette soon exited the bathroom. "Shower's all yours!" she exclaimed to the two un-amused girls.
"Thanks, Queenie," Shelby told her as she walked by her. "That's so very kind of you!" she continued, mocking Juliette, before she disappeared behind the door.
Daisy rose from her bed, and began to yawn as she looked out the window. Her eyes were fixed on the spot where David and she had met that night. The rain from the night before was only a light mist now, but it had left its impression on the landscape. She knew that the day ahead was going to be indoor, meaning group.
