It's almost midnight. Zeke and Wei Ren left after the movie. Izm's just saying night to me. .D's setting up the trundle bed for me. He bought it because Izm kept breaking into his room at night for some reason.
"Night Dare," Izm said.
"I'm still surprised that you took me in even though you didn't know me," I thanked.
"Dare," he held my left shoulder, "You had a giant freaking hole in your arm; I wasn't just leaving you there."
I blushed. "Thank you,"
"You're welcome," he twinkled his auburn eyes.
He shut the door as he left.
"Dare," .D called, "Bed's ready,"
"Kay." I turned and left the door. I couldn't change into pajamas or brush my teeth (ew) tonight because 1. my arm and 2. I didn't bring my overnight stuff.
I got into the trundle bed. I flipped the pillow over. I'm not sleeping on the same side of pillow as Izm. "Night .D."
"Night,"
He flicked off the light. I laid there in the dark, listening to thoughts in my head about the boys. So far, I've looked into evidence that the boys are giving off if they like me or not.
A.E.D. … No
Marcus … Eh
Zeke … Nah
Wei Ren … Out of the corner of his eye
Desmond … Let go of me, pervert
Izm … shying away, shamefully looking at his feet
I'm part animal, remember? I can sense people's emotions if the vibes are strong enough.
Are you surprised about Izm? I am too.
I decided to try and forget about it and actually get some sleep.
I sighed, confused.
I think I like Izm a little. A little... too much.
"Wake. Up. Delilah." I heard a voice coming from above me. A finger was prodding my shoulder blade. "Get up. It's your turn to take a shower."
I growled loudly as I opened my eyes. "Ugh. What? Go away. Stop poking me."
"Really Delilah, get up please." A.E.D.'s voice made me sit up. "It's almost breakfast and it's your turn in the shower," he said.
I reluctantly got up from the trundle bed. "Fine," I hissed. .D was in his full school uniform. I checked my watch; it's only 7:35 am.
"They serve breakfast at eight in the cafeteria," he reminded me, "I'll see you there; come sit with us."
I looked back, "If 'us' includes Desmond, then I'll be sitting by myself thank you."
"It doesn't,"
"Good," I smiled, "then I call a spot next to Izm."
I closed the bathroom door and locked it. I stared at myself in the mirror. God dammit, I can't get rid of these cursed split ends, can I?
I saw a pile of folded clothes at the corner of the counter. It had a post-it note on it. It said my name. I picked it up and read it.
Delilah,
I got this for you at the office. I hope you like it.
-Izm
I looked down at the clothes. It was a full girl's Hedone High uniform. Gray long-sleeve shirt, black vest, animal paw clip to close the vest, and red pleaded skirt.
I finished my shower fast and put it on. I have to say, it fit perfectly and the gray shirt went with my eyes. I loved it. I can't wait to tell him. I locked the dorm door behind me and sprinted to the cafeteria.
