Ceeret came to and found herself lying in a large puddle of water. Her pants were soaked. There was mud on her previously pristine white shirt. One thing was sure, her mother was going to freak once she saw the stains. Her head was pounding and she groaned as she sat up. Looking around her, she noticed that only a few cars littered the school compound. That was definitely not a good sign. She was supposed to be home by half-past five. Judging from the sun, it was almost six or past six. Her mother was definitely going to kill her.
As she stood she tried to recollect her memory. How on earth had she ended up ruining a pristine white shirt? That had never happened before. Her mother was a demon when it came to cleanliness. Then like a crashing wave, it all came back to her. The promised chocolate with her friend. The journey to her locker. One of Lexine's stalkers. The sickeningly sweet smell. Then it was all blank. Approximately three hours had passed since then.
