Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Midnight

"Hey Junior year! I'm Sora and I've sent this message to all of the Juniors. At Saturday, a party reunion-sort of thing will be held at clubhouse Washington at Six O'clock PM. All of you should come and party before our Senior year starts. Send Aye! Back and I'll text you the address. Xoxo."

I stared at the text message sent by an unknown number, whom I knew belonged to Sora at her declaration. I remembered Sora. She was that popular extroverted girl who was bubbly and too nice to hate. Everyone knew her as the girl who liked to party, and since her and I were on the same page about partying, I was always invited to her parties. We weren't friends, more like colleagues who respected each other. I wondered silently where she got my number, but this was Sora, she knew everyone, and I'm sure she could have gotten my number from anyone she wanted.

I locked my phone and stuffed it under my pillow. It was late in the morning, and I was supposed to be fast asleep, but somehow I couldn't. The boy in my dreams hadn't been in my dreams lately, and Chanyeol's words from three days ago still rang a bell in my head loudly. It felt like every time I tried to forget, the words thrust themselves inside my head, ringing and dancing vigorously as if calling for attention. I tried shaking the words away, but they shocked me, Chanyeol shocked me. I didn't know he had thought that about my Aura before. I had always known I was a little strong, but it never crossed my mind that Chanyeol was reminded of the witch upon my presence. The thoughts were unsettling, but I couldn't simply ignore them. There was a reason Chanyeol saw the witch in me, and I'm not sure I wanted to know what.

I stood up from the bed and took my phone again, sending an Aye with a lot of exclamation marks. I decided to head out, wondering if any cafeterias were open at the moment. I decided not to call the boys out, because I felt like I needed some space alone.

I closed the door behind me slowly, hoping not to wake any of the triplets from their deep sleep. I headed downstairs on the same steps. Light, small and feathery. My stomach was roaring with hunger, and I was reminded of how I'm always hungry whenever I wake up from my slumber. I stared around me at the deserted space of the two adjoining buildings, dim light falling down on the spacious emptiness of the ground.

I stared in front of me at the canteen, and there was a faint light reflecting over it. I noticed a small figure sitting down on one of the many chairs provided, and the closer I got, the more visible the figure appeared to be.

"Oh, you can't sleep too?" I immediately greeted when I saw her. Lisa lifted her head up at me, the previous boredom in her eyes disappeared into a vexing glare. Lisa didn't reply, and looked down at her fingers resting on the table. I took a seat in front of her, suddenly extremely rejuvenated than before, a smile taking over my face. I almost forgot about my hunger, but when I turned around to see the cafeteria closed, I pouted.

"I'm so hungry.." I moaned in distress, peeking up and catching Lisa in mid-rolling her eyes. "When did it close?"

"The workers need sleep too!" Lisa snapped before I can even register if what I had said was right. I jumped at her tone, blinking my eyes. "Of course it would be close. It's two in the morning!"

"Okay.." I murmured softly, my cheeks burning a little as the embarrassment flooded within me at my stupid words. "I didn't mean it that way. I just thought they'd be working in different shifts."

"What the hell? Why would they work in shifts? We are supposed to be asleep, you know. If we get caught, we will be sent into detention in a whole month," Lisa continued, this time biting on one of her fingers anxiously, and I wondered if she were scared about getting caught. She didn't seem the kind of girl to get scared over rules, but the type to break them. Although, her position as a student's council president was another thing altogether.
