~3~
Ever had a déjà vu moment? I was getting guided to the library by Malcolm and I could have sworn I had been there once, in a dream. I got a weird tingly feeling in my stomach as we walked inside the huge library.
I go to pick out a book that has green swirling smoke coming from it when I hear a huge alarm sound and open my eyes to my bedroom and the rush of sudden desire for slumber hit me like a nail getting hit by a hammer. I stretched for about 12 minutes, I didn't want to leave so early...
I heard a knock on my door as soon as I slammed the snooze button. I get up nervously with my hair all messy and having smudged makeup from staying up so late, to find Logan coming in.
"Malcolm came to my room asking for you to sleep in your own room, sorry" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh no, it's alright.-" there was an awkward pause as Logan's face turns completely red.
I look down sleepily as to what he was staring at and realized I was only in my black with red lace bra. I quickly picked up the blanket and covered it.
" I tend to sleep in only shirts but I move a lot so I guess it came off" I explained laughing nervously.
"Today you get to see the library, Malcolm is going to show you around and I usually have to stay guard, however I'm suspended for sleeping in my other class, so I don't go with you to the library today. So Hurry and get dressed so I can call Malcolm to take you" Logan says as he starts leaving.
"Logan," I bit my lip. He turns around.
I was about to ask him about last night's whole cry session but I was interrupted by the loud sensation of the alarm and fell off my bed by reflex. Logan caught me though laughing.
I get up and find my shirt and put it back on.
"T-thanks" I say embarrassed.
"You said something?" Logan asked.
I shook my head biting my lip, "forget it".
He shrugs and walks out. I get off from my bed and wash my face repeatedly as I take out my makeup box and combs.
After I applied my makeup I started to comb through my hair. I started to hum a tone that was in my head.
"Hmmm hm hm hm... Hmm hm hm hm," I feel something bad in my stomach but still continue to comb out my hair and hum.
"Hmmm hmm hmm hm hmmm hmm"
There's a bang on the mirror and it shatters right in front of me. I jerk back terrified as to what had just happened.
Logan runs through the door. I drop my comb and try to take out the glass that was stuck on my nose, my fingers and my hair. Soon small little blood spots are visible and I feel myself fainting.
Logan comes inside the bathroom and does something with his hands. I wake to no glass and just Logan.
"Don't tell Malcolm about this" Logan says as he hears a knock on my door.
"It's Malcolm , are you alright in there?" Malcolm says worried.
Logan jumps into the shower and hides.
I scurry to the door and close the bathroom door behind me. I open the door and smile.
"No, I'm almost done getting ready give me 4 minutes" I say smiling. Malcolm nods smiling, but then makes a face.
"I really have to use the bathroom can I -" Malcolm runs funny heading to the bathroom.
I rush behind him but he slams the door.
I start to fret. Until I hear Malcolm just humming and being blissful. I hear a flush and the sink go off. He comes out and leaves.
I run to the bathroom and look behind the curtain, only a plant stood there.
A beautiful green.
I scoff.
"Logan, huh".
I finish coming my hair and started to put my outfit together. My phone starts ringing like crazy.
"Hello?"
"Chance? Omg it's so good to hear your voice again!" A male voice says worried and happily.
"Who's this?"
"Your boyfriend well ex-boyfriend now, my names Matt we dated for 2 years and well this summer I never heard from you plus I saw moving trucks and you never told me about you moving and leaving AHS, you don't remember me?" The voice choked on it's last words.
"I don't remember anything of my past my parents, said I had done something horrible and they sent me to this boarding school" I say covering my mouth gasping.
"You were the nicest girl here, they always had a problem with you they always argued with you and you would come over my house crying and crying" Matt continued.
"Chance? who is that?" Logan says coming near me out of no where.
"Matt he-"
Logan cuts me off.
"He's the reason your here" Logan snaps hanging up the phone.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I snap running toward Logan full of anger.
"listen Chance, you can't trust a word he says" Logan says backing away.
"WHY NOT, MY PARENTS THAT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COMPLETELY TREAT ME LIKE SHIT!" I start spa-zing and I feel Logan bumping his back on the wall. I kept on.
"WHY THE HELL AM I HERE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" I start attacking and attacking.
I grip onto his shirt, look him in the eyes and start crying on his chest. Logan I can tell didn't expect me to do that.
My mind was all over the place. Matt was my only chance to get my past back.
"If they hated you so much, you wouldn't be in a luxury college, you'd be in prison. Prison isn't such a lovely place" Logan says.
I look up at him and hug him. I press my face on his shirt.
"why do you cry in your sleep?" the words slipped out like soap on the skin during a bath.
"w-what? don't worry about it" Logan starts getting anxious.
"sorry.." I hesitate as I plop myself on the bed.
I hear knocking at the door. I go out the door and follow Malcolm to the library.
I look back to see Logan no longer in my room. My mind swirls round and round as I continue to think about that phone call. Maybe he'll call again. How bad is it to reach into my past anyway?
The library looked nothing like the dream, I sighed in relief. Malcolm shows me around each part of the 3-story library.
"So I made a poem, I wanna see if you like it" Malcolm says smiling at me. Malcolm was gorgeously handsome honestly.
I nodded while skimming through a black leather-ed book with golden words that spelled "nox libellus" Obviously Latin for "the night book" or maybe "the book of the night"?
"Love is like the warm sensation
inside of you when you first
taste that sip of hot cocoa after a cold day of the winter nights.
Although the word love could give of a little fright,
I do believe in love at first sight,
I look forward to sleepless nights
hoping to find love
I might"
Malcolm finishes turning a little pink. I snap my fingers goofing off and smile.
"it's very passionate, Really original hehe" I laugh a little while smiling still. He nods smiling.
"There's this new Japanese lounge that has opened uptown, a live band is going to be there playing, wanna come along?" he smiles.
I nod.
A girl with blond hair and blue streaks comes up to Malcolm and kisses his cheek.
"Babe have you decided who's gonna get that extra ticket we had for that lounge?" She says eyeing me.
"Second thought, I have to go call someone" I say laughing. I go and leave as fast as I could.
"Chance," I hear him trail off.
"Poem must've been for her" I say under my breathe as I'm already in the hallway.
I see Logan not too far off.
"You busy tonight?" I ask him. He shrugs.
"if its shopping or any type of socializing yes" he says wiping sweat from his forehead and slurping up a huge bottle of water.
"I was gonna just ask if you wanted to eat takeout with me but I guess that counts as socializing" I roll my eyes walking away.
"I didn't say anything about you talking with me. Count me in. matter of fact come with me" he says laughing and tugging me toward a room.
Inside it smelt of bakery and matter of fact it was a bakery.
"yummmmm" I exclaim as we go to order pastries.
