Heyya! Christina here! It's March of 2018... This was made in June of 2017.. Sorry it took almost a whole year to write a chapter..! But here it is!
Liz POV:
"Wake up!" I heard someone yell through my haze of slumber followed by a breeze of cold air, the feeling of my body falling to the floor, with a "THUMP" noise following. "Finally!" Amelia said in a tired voice followed by bed springs squeaking. I was considering going back to sleep when I saw it was 5:30 in the morning. School started at 8:15, so why did I need to wake up? Then I remembered me and Amelia's conversation, of me making excuses and lies for why I needed to wake up so early. I hated lying to Amelia, but I knew it was best if no one knew about the tower. Merkulova was the one who informed me of the things that were going on and Elias... He had been eavesdropping, which led us to have an unneeded disagreement. Despite the pain that was soaring through my heart, I shook my head as a way to clear it. After I got dressed I quickly and quietly ran out of the dorm, not knowing how horribly I would regret it soon.
Elias POV:
I hadn't got any sleep last night. How could I? Liz was being an idiot, Merklouva was obviously using her, and from what I had overheard Schuyler wasn't exactly the good guy either. All I know is that I need to save Liz from... Well... Whatever Merklouva needed her for. I knew he needed her to help him stop Schyler, but I couldn't help but feel like it wasn't true... Something felt off, like one of them isn't being honest.
As I walked into the now already full classroom absent mindlessly, l spotted Liz. She was laughing, talking, and smiling with Luca and Andrew, a classmate of ours.
"Are you going to sit down or do I have to sit you down?" A cold and annoyed voice said. The second I heard it, I knew who it was. I turned around quickly, being greeted with Schuyler looking down at me.
"No, I was just seating myself" I muttered softly as I walked into my usual seat. I could feel the icy glare piercing me, but did my best to ignore it. God, teachers never notice when something important is actually wrong.. I couldn't focus the entire class, but thankfully it had been easy. Schuyler must have been in the loop just a bit, because he obviously knew I didn't want to be called on. I didn't ask to be called on, and he didn't do it. The class quickly passed. By the end, I had made my plan.. I didn't like doing this, and not just because it was against the rules. It felt like I was ignoring Liz's wishes. I wasn't though, I just wanted to protect her.. That's all...
I know it was kinda short, but I had MAJOR writers block..
