JAKE

Jesus... my head- Devon?!

He ran past the corridor.

Jake : Devon?!

I chased after him but with every step I felt time going slower.

Jake : Devon!

Laughter emitting from all around.

Jake : Devon! Where are you?!

At the end of the hall there was a mirror. I stood there and examined my face but it wasn't mine. His face was indistinguishable. He was white, freckles, brown hair. The mirror was perfectly fine, me being the only crack on it. He was smiling

Jake : I'm sorry.

I wake up in a sweat, Devon holding me to show care.

Devon : Are you okay?!

Jake : Yeah, jeesh. Bad dream.

Devon : About what?

For some reason I felt the need to hide this from Devon. Don't want to worry him.

Jake : Nothing.

Devon : Who were you saying "sorry" to?

Jake : I don't know?

Devon : Are you sure you're fine?

Jake : Yeah, it probably just has to do with the fact we had to hide a body last night.

Devon : he said casually.

Devon rolled his eyes.

Devon : Okay, well, I love you. Cmon we gotta get ready for school.

Devon threw clothes at me.

We got changed and headed downstairs, into the hall.

Cory and Lexy were already there.

We sat with them.

Jake : Hey where's Nadine?

Lexy : She said she had to go take care of something? I don't know.

Devon : What about Denis?

Cory : You tell m-

Denis burst through the door, his stance suggesting he's under the influence of some drug.

He basically hobbled over to us.

Denis : heyyy guysssss!!!

The familiar stench of alcohol was on his breath.

Cory : Are you high?!

Denis : noooo??? i thought we- said.... that i had to stay clean.

His words slurred.

Lexy : Well, clearly, you are drunk.

Denis : lil bit...
