Chapter Thirteen: Night Time Worries
"Oy, has two hours ever been so long?"Alicia practically shouted when Angelina walked into the dorm room. Everyone was looking expectantly up at her. Angelina smiled and then laughed at her friends, all sitting nearby the door. She was sure they had been waiting impatiently and checking their watches every other minute. Angelina quietly sat down cris-cross style and filled the circle the other girls had formed.
"Well?" Kalypso asked when Angelina didn't say anything.
"I made his nose bleed." she stated, looking at all their faces.
"Was that in the plan?" Katie asked, bewilderedly.
"Nope, but a good addition if I do say so myself." Kalypso laughed.
"Aww, was he okay?" Essie gushed, sympathetic towards the ever-charming Fred.
"How bad was it?" Kori enquired.
"Did you laugh? I would've laughed." Alicia laughed, free spiritedly.
"Woah! Can we please not all talk at once?" Angelina smiled. No, I think I might've fractured his nose or something, Essie! It was pretty bad, Kor, it didn't stop for like ten minutes! No, I didn't laugh." she answered all their questions.
"Well, what else happened?" Kalypso nudged Angelina on. So, Angelina told them the entire story. They all 'awed' when Angelina mentioned their kiss, and she blushed ferociously.
"See, everything worked out A-ok!" Katie grinned.
"Yep, but will it last?" Angelina asked, rhetorically. Everyone sighed and looked down, avoiding eye contact, almost as if they thought Angelina could read their thoughts merely by looking them straight in the eye.
"Right...well, I'm tired. Is anyone else tired? I think I'll be getting to sleep then..." Kori said quickly, getting up and laying down. Everyone else agreed and got ready for sleep. Angelina suddenly realized how tired she actually was and followed suit, laying down in her comfortable bed and drifting off into a fitful sleep...
"Fred? Fred?" she was saying, frantically. "FRED! FRED!" she yelled as she fell into a menacingly dark hole and continued to fall and fall, screaming his name. Suddenly, she was no longer falling. But she hadn't hit the ground. It was like a scene change, and she was suddenly standing in the common room. In front of her, she saw a ginger head snogging a pretty brunette that she recognized as Carmen Collins.
"Fred?" she asked, quietly. The figure turned around, and it was indeed Fred. "Fred...Fred...how could you do this to me?" she sobbed, unable to hold back the tears. He only looked away...looked back at Carmen.
Now Fred was massaging the back of a blonde, Bridget Mkensee, and occasionally kissing her neck affectionately. She continued to sob, mumbling Fred's name.
If the last two images had sent her to tears, then this would surely kill her instantly. There Fred was, laying down on the comfortable couch. Cuddling with a girl she knew well...none other than Alicia Spinnet, her best friend.
"No...no...Alicia! How could you do this to me, you're supposed to be my best mate...Ali..." she sobbed, collapsing on the floor and refusing to look at the two bodies.
"Angelina! Angelina, wake up, now!" Alicia was yelling in her ear, while Kori shook her. Angelina bolted awake, sweat covering her overheated body.
"It was just a bad dream, Angelina." Kori soothed her, patting her back as she let out a strangled sob.
"And, just a question, what did I do to you?"Alicia asked, looking at Angelina alarmed-ly.
"Nothing Leesh, it was just a dream." Angelina replied, realizing she must have been talking in her sleep.
"You know I'm your best friend and I would never do anything to hurt you, right?" Alicia queried, worriedly.
"I know." she replied, smiling, and getting up to take a shower.
"You were having a nightmare about Fred cheating on you, weren't you?" Kori asked when Angelina got out of the shower.
"Where's Alicia?" Angelina avoided the question.
"Second year bathroom. You were, weren't you?" Kori wouldn't let Angelina change the subject.
"Maybe... yes. How did you know?"
"Alicia was over talking to Katie, and you were muttering something about Fred. When Alicia came back you were talking about Alicia, I put two and two together." Kori replied, nonchalantly. Angelina just sighed. "They'd never do that to you, you know. Alicia wasn't lying, she really wouldn't do something like that to you. And Fred... Angelina, I won't lie to you. I have my doubts about him, but people do change. If he does cheat on you, then he doesn't deserve you. Don't worry, Ang."
"Thanks Kor." Angelina replied, giving Kori a hug and not realizing the abbreviation of her name.
"No problem, now come on I'm starved." Angelina nodded and they left for breakfast.
