~ Midnight~
A day after the recruit phase of TPOS.
~Must get use to the building
~Must find out on her own with no one interfering
I start classes Monday. Yesterday was recruit day of the process of settling in here. Frankly I'm starting to believe I'm a magnet for danger, Some girl tried to rob me when I went to go purchase clothes at American Apparel this afternoon. Right now it's about 10:30pm and my Greek takeout still hasn't arrived.
My parents gave me $1300 to keep while I had to find a job. That's more than enough money to have on me, so maybe they weren't entirely mad or they were just filthy rich people. It's a choice rather to go eat in the cafeteria and eat their food. However, I'm very good eating and being by myself, so I wouldn't think it's necessary to walk all the way there.
I mean I have such a nice view on my balcony. Especially with the red full moon tonight, I'd definitely want to snap some pictures for that. I sit impatiently waiting for my food to arrive. As soon as I hear a knock on my door I take out a knife and then my money and rush toward the door. In my luck tonight it's the takeout guy and I give him the $15 dollars. I would've gave a better tip but he took too long.
I took my food and placed it on the balcony table happily and eagerly. I started eating the soup with rice, chopped chicken and pasta bits. I hear a knock on my door. I grab the knife again and open the door. It's Logan.
"Hello Logan" I say slurping my food.
"Mind, if I joined?" He asks.
"mind if I ask why?" I ask back.
"Got into a fight at the cafeteria" he explains. I close the door as he comes in and watch him plop himself on the second bed and started eating his mcdonald's.
I sit on the seat on the balcony and eat my Greek chicken Slovakia after I slurped down the soup.
"So your a galaxy one?" Logan asks.
"what do you mean?" I asked confused.
"Oh no never-mind wasn't talking to you" He stuffs a nugget in his mouth.
I scoff..
" Alright does it gotta do with the eyes?" I ask.
He shrugs continuing to chew. I come up to him and look in his eyes. They're green like a forests and I could see animals and rocks inside of his eyes.
"Rain Forest" I state.
"Earth" Logan corrects.
I look out my balcony. I feel something appear and I feel someone push me off the balcony, I hold on to the railing scared for my life. I hear Logan run up and start pounding on something and the I see the tree next to me turn it's branch into a huge arm. The branch arm lifts me back onto my balcony to see a panting Logan with his eyes closed pulling the branch to let me back into the balcony.
I see a guy on the floor groaning and Malcolm comes in.
"AHHH!" I start screaming and freaking out to what I had just saw.
"I'll take care of it from here" Malcolm says rudely to Logan as if something happened between them.
Logan carries out the guy while Malcolm touches my hand.
The screaming stops and my eyes flutter shut.
I wake not remembering I had ever taken a nap. I look around and see Logan eating on the second bed.
"How do you have blood on your arm?" I ask confused and a little nervous.
"One of the nuggets was raw so that could explain it" he says wiping the blood off. I noticed the hesitation in his voice but also the sincerity so I choose to ignore it.
"oh alright" I respond as I take another bite out of my Slovakia sandwich.
I finished eating after a 4rth bite of silence. Logan and I converse that night.
"Well look at the time, I should leave" Logan says. I tug his arm.
He looks at me confused.
"Let's have a sleepover and plus I don't want to sleep alone in this room where there was already a break in" I say nervously. He nods laughing. I hear a knock at the door.
"Oh hey didn't know Logan was still here" Malcolm says eyeing Logan.
" Well I didn't want to sleep alone-"
"maybe I should sleep here too so you have double the support" He says smiling. He touches my arm.
"We have to keep you monitored after all, don't we Logan?" Malcolm adds.
I smile and nod.
Logan cleans his bag and throws out his mcdonald's paper bag.
"I just remembered, I have some studying to do.." Logan goes to leave.
"You sure?" I ask reassuring.
"Why would I lie?" Logan says rudely. I tense confused at why he snapped on me so suddenly. I sigh as I let Malcolm in and I sit on the white bedded bed and turn on the tv.
Malcolm and I talk endlessly over and over trading embarrassing moments or funny moments. I on the other hand only remembered the ones I had hear which were about yesterday. We watch 3 horror movies back to back and now it's about 12. He's asleep but I can't. I was awfully hungry and I realized there was a snack machine I saw outside in the hallway earlier in that day.
I get out in the hallway to see Logan with his head in his knees and his loud music blasting. I go up to him and sit down.
"Hey" he says lifting his head.
"hai" I say as I yawn.
"You should be sleeping right now, Chance" He says in a mimicking voice of a parents.
"shhh" I say laughing on his shoulder.
"You okay?" I say switching topics.
"couldn't be any better" he hesitates.
"You would be an excellent liar if you didn't hesitate too much" I reply looking up at him. Even sitting next to him I was small compared to him. He was like a tree or something haha well not as tall-tall as a tree.
We talked for a while but then I felt myself falling asleep. I was half awake when I felt him carry me. He tapped my shoulder, "Your room?" he asks. I nod.
He carries me to my room and sits me on the bed and I had my sour straws in my hands.
Malcolm was up.
"Where did you go?" he asks yawning. I showed him my sour straws.
Malcolm smiles. Then frowns when he sees Logan leaving.
"What was he doing carrying you here?" Malcolm asks.
"I fell asleep talking to him hehe he offered cause I was and still am half asleep" I explain chuckling a little.
Malcolm nods falling back to sleep.
I stood up and looked at the moon. I took out my Nokia and snapped some shots. I go out my room and slowly follow Logan to his bedroom where we first met.
Malcolm's in there?
"stay away from the girl" then he disappears.
I knock on the door.
"Hey I can't sleep either" I say to Logan.
Logan nods inviting me in and yawning.
I fall asleep. Dreams and flashes going through me as though I was as light as a feather and translucent. I smile in my sleep.
Suddenly I feel Logan toss and turn. I touch his forehead with my mind and I feel darkness and sadness. Suddenly I feel arms around me and light tears falling from Logan's eyes..
He was crying in his sleep? :(
