Chapter 3 - Eerie Observations

My head was spinning, green images flashed in my mind. The room shifted sideways and my body felt heavy. I stumbled sideways as I stood up. If it were up to me I'd stay in my bed but school always comes first in my books…. So here I was… struggling. I rushed towards my small bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked worse than I felt. Without any preparation, I took off my clothes and jumped into the shower. I jumped as the cold water came in contact with my body and stepped to the side waiting for it to heat up. I was such a mess. After my morning preparations I packed my back quickly and bursted out my door. I ran down the stairs as the elevator was taking too long to come up and I went out of my dorm building and onto one of the buildings marked on my mini map. Yes it's been a few days but still I don't know where my classes are oops… I ended up falling asleep through my first 2 classes.. The only reason I woke up was because of all the noise everyone was making as they left the room. My last class on the other hand, was more vibrant and exciting to my appeals. It was my business course. I tried grasping any bit of knowledge. Even though my professor was still going over the syllabus and what to expect for the year.. I still tried taking notes on anything he mentioned about business. This class took place in the night time. From 6 to 9 P.M. and my other two classes took place in the morning. Since I find myself very bright in school I decided to jam pack my schedule to the most hours I could take for the semester. Usually people take a course a day but I was over here taking 3. Once the clock hit 9. Everyone else in the room looked as sleepy as I did during my first shifts except on person sitting down in the first row. This classroom consisted of a miniature auditorium type room with rows gathering up to the top like a theater except instead of a huge screen it was the professor at the bottom giving a lecture. I stared curiously at the only other soul awake in the room as he stood up. He wore a hoodie making it impossible for me to see any physical characteristics. His hoodie was dark grey and I could tell he was a boy as the professor addressed him as young man as he greeted him a farewell. I saw a couple of heads barely stand as the boy walked towards my direction to the door. I sat at the top and the doors where beside me on both ends. I walked slowly behind him. I kept going snd going through the hallways and out the building but everywhere I walked he seemed to be going the same direction. Then he was walking towards the dorms. Ah… he must live in the same building as me. I wonder what floor he has I thought.. I waited far back because he occasionally turned but thank god never noticed me following behind. I didn't want to seem like a stalker or anything so I waited for him to go as I stayed behind. And just as I predicted he turned back but smart smart me wasn't anywhere in his sight. What happened next though.. caught me off guard… he all of a sudden shifted directions from the dorms and onto the side of the boarded windows. What was he doing?.. what did he see? Why would he dare to walk towards direction.. especially at night!!! I slowly crept up to get a better look. As I turned a little further to the side of the building I saw that he wasn't only just taking a turn but actually going passed the dorms. I was so shocked but did my best not to reveal myself. The walked up to the gate that separated the north from the south.. and LOOKED BACK AT MY DIRECTION. I felt my heart race as my breathing suddenly increased heavily… but there was no way.. it's too dark out here and I was way to far for him to even notice me. I stared in horror and what he appeared to do next made me feel really uneasy. The level he was standing at started to decrease. It was as he was going underground! The top of his hood was the only thing visible until it slipped under the gate and came out through the other side. The more I looked the more familiar the sight became to me. This person no longer looked like the boy I saw in my class. But a dark figure running through the night sky and onto the bushes below. Now I've seen it with my own two eyes. The disturbing reality I experienced yesterday was no nightmare. This was actually happening and I happened to be the unlucky person to stumble upon knowledge, I have not yet fully reciprocated… and what am I supposed to do with it..? I looked around me and everything was silent as every other day I've been on this eerie campus. Nothing felt right anymore. But at the same time. Everything went as normal. Only I knew too much now and haven't been able to formulate an answer of how to live with it. Every step I took for the remainder of that night to my dorm felt like 100 eyes were settled upon me. I was so scared and frightened that even walking into my room, shutting every window and closing every door with locks still left me with a feeling of paranoia and loading my head with countless inconsolable thoughts that scared the living heck out of me. What if he saw me the moment he turned… I turned at the window which was now closed with no visible openings and blocked by enormous curtains. I wrapped the blanket over my entire body and even my face. I didn't like sleeping with a blanket over my entire head but at this point it was the only thing making me feel safe for the remainder of that sleepless night.
