Tears roll down your face as you sit on your bed. Just like your sticky cheeks, the dormitory is all wet with rain. Once you open the door, you see Syrus about to enter his room (you're right next to him). But you hear, 'Sy, come in! You can't stand out in the rain!' That must be Jaden, you guess. 'No, Jaden, Ill go into Karla's room and tide her over until the rain stops.' You grumble to yourself, 'Karla's room. Why not Blair's room." Then, you hear. 'OK, its your choice.' Then, you run outside. You guess that Syrus spotted you running outside in the cold rain, rather than your nice, warm, comfortable beds… No, cant think about that! Must get away from Syrus! After hours of worthless running, you find a bush to hide in guessing that Syrus had lost you so he gave up. Then you waited in a cave. That was weird because there would be someone there, but there wasn't. It was clear, had no one in it, wouldn't be possible for Syrus to find you here, this is paradise.

After days of waiting, the rain had subsided and came again. You had found a few bits of food a few days before, but it was hard to ration food like that. Syrus must've given a long time ago. Come on, Syrus! What, am I going out of my mind? Syrus Truesdale doesn't like, repeat, doesn't like me. I mean he hates me, you think. Even with a growling stomach, you have the strength to say to yourself, 'If Syrus comes and saves me, that proves he likes me. But if he leaves me to starve to death, then he likes Blair.' It starts to rain really hard now. You start sneezing, so you wrap yourself in your Slifer Red jacket.

Coming through the cold, is a sort of small figure, with light blue hair that disguises itself around the surrounding bushes and large grey eyes hidden beneath small glasses. Its Syrus, and he's come to save me! By the looks of things…Slowly approaching you, you come out and he holds you and says, 'Karla, youve lasted for an amazing 37 days. I couldn't find you anywhere, and I was really scared. Come with me and Ill tell you the story in your room.'

Lying under your sheets, encircled with food, you eat as you listen to Syrus who was speaking to you. 'I was going to save you, but we were then told not to leave and I had to stay back. But today, when no-one was looking, I sped through muddy waters, defended myself against snakes and all the while pushing through bushes to save you. Do you feel better now?' Now you hardly understand why you were running stupidly when you couldn't be rescued.
'But, Syrus, why did you save me, I thought you hated me.' You finally told him the truth. Syrus gasped. 'Why would I hate you, Karla?' Now, you start crying again, while thinking about Blair. 'I thought you said that you really loved Blair and she said she found the man of her dreams, you finally say.' Syrus rubs his eyes and shakes his head in disbelief. 'You must've had a hearing problem. I didn't say that.' You admit, well, 'I was hiding behind the bush.' Syrus thinks for a moment. 'The leaves got into your ears and you heard wrong. I said to Blair, "I dont know where Jaden is. I really don't. Please stop bugging me this way." Then she said, "Okay, Ill find the man of my dreams myself." True story.' You gasp. 'So, you never hated me, and I starved out there for nothing?' Syrus nods and tells you, 'I hope this taught you a valuable lesson, things aren't always what you first hear them to be,' as he pats you on the back and watches you eat again.
