The roads were eerily quiet. The small alleyways were barely visible, as if it was consumed by the void. The dim Street lights lighted up few parts of the dull, silent and abandoned street. Along each wall missing report posters were glued. Some of them were ripped off, others had graffiti covering them.
Adon looked around twice. His senses peaked. He pulled out a cardboard box which was lying on the sidewalk. Dusted it and told ivy to sit on it. She felt her legs give up to exhaustion and at that moment that cardboard box felt like a cushion made out of the finest fleece. "Ivy? Ivy? IVY?"
A voice pulled her back from being lost in her own thoughts. Twο bright hazel orbs were fixated upon her face. Ivy managed to gather herself back again. "Yes" she replied after a few moments . "Finally. I thought you went into coma ." something about that made Ivy chuckle. "What happened over there? Why were you frozen, glued to the ground?"
Ivy took deep breaths, tried to stay calm & explained her situation. His expression changed into worry and unsurity. His brows squeezed around his forehead. His eyes darting towards the ground as if they were searching for the words scattered across, lost. A moment of surprise and she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. I know that I should've said No, but-". Adon quickly interrupted," Absolutely not. You did the best possible thing given your position then. Remember, freshmens are treated worse than animals if they try to raise themselves against anyone above their position. If you wanna survive in this place you MUST remain in their good books. "
Ivy felt the heaviness in his words in matter of seconds. She realized exactly what he was talking about. THE HIERARCHY system. A wrecked system where the rich and powerful rule above everyone else without any consequences. The school committee Knew a lot more than they showed. But Ivy had not yet stepped into the true horrors of the system yet.
"I am sure that they don't allow the normal students, access to the CCTV footage." Suddenly a small chuckle slipped out of ivy's mouth. "What's so funny about this if I may ask? ". "Oh oh nothing. " Ivy tried to hide her uncontrollable laughter with her hands. Her eyes squinted and her lips formed a Cresent moon. "I - hahaha I just had this thought. You asked me what I was doing in the hallway, but what about you coming out of the school gym?Don't tell me that you were doing late night cardio" ivy teasingly laughed again. "Yes. How'd you know? " She blinked. "Huh?". "Huh?". "What"
Ivy thought what kind of joke is that, but his face suggested otherwise. Ivy let out an even louder laugh. (what a weird guy). Adon watched her as she forgot about what happened moments ago and laughed her heart out. A hint of smile found itself on adons face only to disapper within seconds.
Adan stood up & checked the streets. "How are you going to yo home? Do you have an *EMT?" Suddenly her eyes widened and a million of thoughts slapped her across the mind. Panic engulfed her eyes. She got up & started mumbling to herself like a lunatic
"Oh no w-what oh shit! I-I usually use public transport but those are usually closed by now". She darted around like a bee, trying to think of any possible way. Adon insisted "I'll drop you off", "Huh? Oh No no no I don't want to trouble you I- I'll call one of my friends. " Adon crossed his arms and leaned against the wall "mhm go ahead I'm waiting". He waited with a face that said nothing.
Ivy Kept calling the handful of people she knew. "Oh I am sorry but I can't". "Oh I am not available why don't you try asking her?" Those were the only responses she heard from the Other lines. Every time she rung her phone with hopes. But as soon as a voice shunned her away like every other she turned to the next one, only to be sent back disappointed. Ivy forced a fake laughter trying to convince adon, "Hahaha they're just a bit busy. I can't blame them you know with the midterms right around the edge and stuf-". Adon just starred at her with a look that saw right through her failed excuses. "Argh fine I give up. Will you dr-". "Yes" Adon said.
A slight embarrassment flushed across ivy's face and she forced her eyes away from his.
