Hope
I slept so long. Like, literally so long that I wake up a few minutes past noon, and I still feel like I haven't slept at all.
Thankfully, this place has something like a sick leave policy, so I won't be dragging myself to class today. Not that I'd risk it anyway. The last thing I need is to get murdered halfway to school and wake up a vampire.
Even after 60 minutes of a hot shower, I still feel like I need more rest. Apparently, I do… fainting twice in one day should be considered a heroic feat. I deserve a medal, but I can only afford a nap.
I slip into a comfortable, flowing nightgown, with no intention of stepping outside today.
Lizzie is just a darling. She checks on me twice yesterday and again this morning. When I ask her to retrieve my bag from the gym locker, she doesn't hesitate or argue.
Now, with my phone in hand and connected to the Wi-Fi, the ding of incoming messages begins to fill my ear, which is so fucking weird.
