I tried to forget about that dream, I tried to forget about the butterfly symbol, I tried not to make out anything from it but the harder I tried the more I dwelt on it. I am connected to all of it somehow, maybe not now but in the past, even just thinking about it made me think I was insane. " Whose bane" I muttered,was it the guy I referred to as Michael and even if he was among them who were the others. You didn't come here to solve mysteries Serena just forget about all of it ,it was just a nightmare , you had every right to have one with what happened yesterday plus you weren't quite in your right mind it must have been that drink, my subconscious hinted. I let out a long sigh placing my palm on my aching forehead " maybe it's nothing just a little nightmare, still getting use to this place after all" I said loudly like I was expecting an answer of some sort. "Baby I know I will be there soon just give me a second I need to check on my little cupcake" Tisha said as she entered the room, she wore a black tank top with a pair of matching shorts, she looked so hot, " cupcake you don't know how much I have missed you" Tisha said touching my cheek " how was your nap, refreshing I hope" " more of enlightening" I said I couldn't stop looking at the butterfly symbol on her thigh. " Well I had a wonderful time at Tori's place there
..." A spot on my neck began to itch, I tried to scratch it but the more I did the more it kept itching. "You okay?" Tisha asked looking at me confused."yes, I just have this itch on my neck" I said still scratching."don't worry maybe I got bit by something in the forest " "let me have a look " Tisha said touching the spot, her fingers felt very cold " what the fuck" she whispered her face was pale. "What is it that bad?" I said my hand resting on hers on the spot and the itching stopped but for a second I thought I'd see her pupils change color. "Are you okay, I don't need to see a doctor the itch has actually..." Tisha pulled her hand away from the spot heading to the door without even looking at me. "Where are you going, Tisha" I said but she didn't respond, she left slamming the door behind her. "What just happened" I said confused. My phone beeped ,nine missed calls from mum she'd be worried sick I had to call her before she does something rash, Like driving all the way here in search of me rash. I dailed mum and it rang for sometime before she answered " hello, darling, is that you?" She sounded so worried. "Hey mum I'm sorry I didn't call last night my phone, my phone died" I lied. I hate lying to mum I really tried my best not to but in this situation I had no other options. "Okay but why haven't you been answering your phone I have been worried sick Serena. It's that roommate of yours isn't it?,you know what I am coming right over there right now " "no no no no mum I am alright never better and Tisha is actually really great not in any way dangerous " I said trying to control my thoughts I felt so guilty lying to her she did not deserve it. " I had to catch up with my reading so I put my phone on silent I'm sorry " I said, please let her fall for it. "Okay sweetheart I believe you and I trust you make right choices " "yeah I will " . We talked for a few more minutes and she finally let me go when I said I needed to go get dinner before the restaurants close. So now you're lying to mum, how many more rules are you planning on breaking before weekend. I collapsed on my bed closing my eyes, can this day just end. My phone beeped and I prayed it wasn't mum. I looked at the screen and it was a message from Triston he was waiting outside for me and I totally forgot. "Shit!" I grabbed my towel and soap bag running into the bathroom for a quick bath. I didn't think much of what I was going to wear it wasn't a date after all, it was nothing like a date. I put on my cream turtle neck cardigan and my pair of blue jeans. My thick kinky hair was all stiff and sticking up, I can't even remember the last time I conditioned it. With great effort I was able to detangle the knots in my hair, I did condition it but not as well as I'd want to. I placed my hair in braids placing my hair clips at both sides to hold them in place. You can finally end this, those words invading My thoughts again. "Make the right decision Serena, forget this" I said taking a final look at myself before leaving my room.
Triston stood right outside the building, I wondered why he didn't come in. He looked so gorgeous just standing there like he knew he was born perfect. He wore a black shirt with the top buttons unbuttoned and the sleeves pulled up to his elbow like last time at the restaurant. He had on a pair of black jeans too. His face is his most attractive feature, he embodied a work of art and his height had a great role in that.The contrast between our outfits was quite clear on how different we are, I never even realized this. He smiled when he saw me and I suddenly felt conscious of the people around us. "Hey, you look good" he said, his eyes traveling down my body. "Thanks" I said tugging at my cardigan. "Shall we?" He said holding out his hand. My body felt numb and my feet stuck to the ground. "Where are we going?" I asked my voice lower than I expected it to be. " Don't worry you would love it, do you trust me?" he said still holding out his hand. This is a bad idea Serena just.. I placed my hand in his before I changed my mind, for some reason I trusted him, even with my life.
