CHAPTER SEVEN

Cassie

I was gonna get my hair done later today. My braids are wearing out so I needed to go get them redone. I guess that won't be happening today.

"Hello everyone." a man wearing a suit said.

Why is everyone here either wearing some type of army outfit or a suit. This is honestly freaking me out. I picked up the pencil and but it on my ear. It's something I do when I'm thinking.

"I'm gonna give you all pieces of paper and the first person to finish the questions and hand the paper back to me gets to leave and head home." he continued.

"Is this some weird hostage situation?" Noah asked sarcastically.

"No Mr. Kepler it's not" the man replied ignoring his sarcasm.

How did this random guy know Noah's last name I thought. This thing makes no sense.

"How did he even know my last name?" Noah asked me in a whisper"

I shook my head as to say I had no idea and I looked back up to the front of the room where the man just started passing out papers.

When my paper finally got to me I realized everyone's desk had a pencil except mines. How is that even fair.

Wait I wonder if this is some racist thing or something. I mean I'm the only black person in the room and I'm the only one who didn't get a pencil. I shrugged the thought off and raised my hand.

"Excuse me sir? I didn't get a pencil." I shouted so the guy could hear me.

"Miss, your pencil was placed on your ear by yourself just minutes ago. Have you forgotten that quickly?" he replied.

Noah chuckled and got the pencil from my ear. He kissed me on the cheek and started on his paper.

I thought about wiping his kids away but I really didn't want another argument right now. He'll start an argument with me over anything.

After finishing my paper I ended up being last to turn it in. So I definitely wasn't first and I'm definitely not going home I thought as tears trickled my cheeks.

The man told all of us we could head back to the auditorium and they'll tell us what to do from there. I got up and headed to do the door. I needed to stop at the restroom and fix my makeup before going to the auditorium since I was still crying.

"Cassie what's wrong?" Noah asked concerned.

"Leave me alone for once okay" I asked as I pushed past him.

"Babe come here" he replied ignoring what I said and putting his arms around me.

Why can't he ever leave me alone? I broke up with him for a reason and I don't want to be bothered by his drama.

"Noah, why can't you understand when I won't to be left alone I won't to be left alone" I sighed walking away from him.

When I got to the auditorium everyone was sitting in the seats waiting for the person behind the microphone to speak.

"Unfortunately you guys aren't going home tonight" she began.

"You will be sleeping in your assigned dorm rooms from this previous school year" the lady continued.

I hated my dorm rooms this past school year. None of my friends were even on the same floor as me. I'd even put in a request to be switched to a different dorm for this upcoming sophomore year.

Once we were dismissed I went outside and sat on the bench by the front. I'm so hungry and i really need to order food before going to my dorm.

The cafeteria has to be open. I hopped on one of the golf carts taking us to the cafeteria right before it got completely dark outside.

The cafeteria was sure enough open and it was packed with students ordering. It looks like no one is sitting down and everyone is taking it to their dorms.

"Hello what can I get for you?" A lady holding a notepad and wearing an apron asked.

"Just a vegan burger and small sprite please" I asked confused why I couldn't just go up and order.

"Okay be right back" she replied as she walked up to another student and asked for their order.

After finally getting my food I walked to my dorm room and to my surprise the door was unlocked. The people over this whole thing must of unlocked our doors in advance since most of us don't have our keys from last semester.

No one else was here so I'm guessing the girl I shared my dorm with wasn't at this school anymore. I took my shower and took down my hair. I'll have to get it braided as soon as I get back home but until then I guess I'll just wear my natural curls.

I put on my pajamas and turned on Netflix finally glad to get some peace and quiet. All of a sudden I heard a knock on the door. Who is here?

I went to the door and opened it surprised to see who was there. Noah stood in the doorway holding some flowers that seemed to me recently picked from outside.

"Noah- what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I just wanted to say sorry for not leaving you alone when you asked me to." he sighed and held out the flowers to me.

"Thanks" I bitterly replied as I slammed the door in his face.
