In the deep

Chapter 3~Emmie

We walked out of our dorm room in the name of Hazel showing us around. Well, I'd be leaving them soon because my best friend called and asked me to wait outside the freshmen dorm that she was on her way to pick me.

I'd not seen my Best friend since I came in yesterday. She said she was busy trying to sort somethings out so she couldn't make it to my dorm.

This place gave me the creeps.

It mesmerised me sometimes because it was turning out to beat my expectations with all the fancy, but It had this eery feeling attached to the mesmerization.

I walked behind Hazel and Debby with my head down. I looked at my black sandals and imagined what it'd be like if I had pants and sneakers on.

Suddenly, it felt like I was being followed. The hairs on my hand stood up.

I hope it's not that Evelyn weirdo following me again.

I spun to inspect the nude walls but saw no one. My feet continued walking and there the feeling was again.

My stomach felt sick.

I walked faster and it felt like whoever it was equally moved faster. Increasing my speed, it felt like that person was going to grab me from behind. My neck unconsciously turned to see who was behind me, but I tripped on a stool and landed on the floor.

Debby and Hazel helped me off the floor. "What happened?" Debby laughed.

Fool

"I just felt like glueing my butt to the floor." I sarcastically replied and rolled my eyes. I got to my feet and brushed the dust off my butt.

"Don't you feel like you're being followed?" I whispered into Debby's ear and earned a frown from her.

"Don't be silly. It's just us here." She waved me off and continued chitchatting with Hazel.

"Hazel." I stopped Hazel in her tracks.

She was blabbing about her high school best memories to Debby who laughed her eyes the entire time.

Hazel Swiftly turned her head and her eyes fell on my small statue before her dimples became visible.

"Oh!" She placed her right hand on her chest, over her orange top. "You startled me."

I startled her? Didn't she know I was right behind her? I must admit, I thought she was going to break her neck from the way she spun.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized for the supposed startling.

"It's fine. You got any problem?" She shoved her hands into the pockets of her jeans skirt.

"ER..." I scratched my baby blonde hair that was packed in a high donut. "I wanted to ask where you went. I mean, you disappeared into thin air when we went to the bathroom together."

"I went for a blood meeting." She glared crossly at me, clearly trying to scare me. "Just kidding! I went to Ava's room to cause some shenanigans." She beamed.

What a very unnecessary joke. Who cracks lame jokes with who they just met?

They walked ahead of me again and halted beside a white door that was wide open.

"This is like a living room where we can all sit and hangout." She pointed into the room and I peered my head to see what she looked all excited for. Boy! This school was like a university haven, I liked what I saw because I never expected this.

My eyes scanned the purple wine walls and white luxury vinyl flooring. Picturing myself sitting on the biggest brown sofa in the room with a coffee in a black mug and the bolgara series in my hand, I smiled at how cozied up I appeared in my head.
