VERA
"Ever come around this side of the metro before?" I asked.
Alex looked at me with confusion. "Yeah, I walked you home last night —"
"Before then?" I interrupted.
He shook his head. "No, why ask?" he asked.
"Your footsteps are very sure, like you know where you are going," I replied.
He chuckled. "I do know where I am going," he said.
Once again, I marveled at his memory. It had been night when he walked me home and though the streetlights were blazing then, it wasn't quite the same as daylight. It was remarkable that he remembered. I wouldn't have been able to.
But then, I was someone that used to get lost in Nate's house for quite a while after he packed in, so…
We walked in silence for quite a long time till it started feeling awkward. I sneaked a glance at Alex and came to the conclusion I was the only one feeling awkward.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" I asked.

NATHANI knocked on the door and waited, wondering if Vee was back from wherever she had run off to.I smiled to myself as the memory of how scarlet she had blushed in the morning came back to mind. To be honest, I hadn't slept on the same bed as her purely out of concern, but her grabbing my dick was a bit more than I expected.It called back the memory of our kiss.Subconsciously, I rubbed my lips. God, I need to be flogged. If Josh knew what just went through my head, he just might smite me with lightning.Recalling my errant thoughts, I knocked again. But got only silence at the other end. I had never waited more than a second at Vee's door, whether she was around or not.I had a key to the room after all.The only thing stopping me from using it now was that I had heard voices inside just a while ago. At least, that was how it seemed to me.But now, the silence was so thick I might have imagined it.I knocked for a few more times, growing impatient. Just as I was about to give up

VERAThe first thing I felt when I woke up was the pounding in my head. I held my head in my hands and almost fell back on the bed, but I managed to continue sitting up.The mother of all headaches was having a really banger party in my head, and it looked like it invited all its most racous relatives.Groaning, I gingerly alighted from my bed. My eyes fell on the bedside alarm clock and I gasped.Bad idea.Mother of all headaches didn't like it, and neither did her relatives who immediately set up a protest in my head. I grabbed my head and winced, then closed my eyes as the room spun and turned dark.Gently, I nudged backwards till my feet hit the bed, then I let myself down gently and rode out the ferris wheel that my room had become. When the spinning stopped, I opened my eyes again and stole a glance at the clock.Nope, the headache hadn't affected my eyes. It really was the dead of the night, or to

VERA Only it wasn't Nathan. It was my house agent. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat. "Ms. Vera," he said, glancing between Rachel and me. "I hope I'm not disturbing you, but there's something important I need to discuss with you." Rachel shot me a questioning look, but I shook my head, equally puzzled. I gestured for the agent to continue. "Apologies for the abrupt visit," he began, "but I've received a notice about your apartment. The building is undergoing renovations, and all tenants are required to vacate within a month." I blinked, processing the information through my foggy mind. "Renovations? But we just moved in." He nodded sympathetically. "I understand it's inconvenient, but these renovations have been planned for a while. I wanted to inform you as soon as possible." My headache throbbed with each word. The timing couldn't be worse. "I'll need your cooperation in finding a temporary place for you until the renovations are completed," he continued. Rachel, se

VERAThe time was a few minutes past six. I got up grudgingly from the bed. I didn't want to get up, but it was school day and I had already missed two days at the beginning of the spring term.I didn't want to miss again.And…we had physics classes today. I nearly flunked physics last term, and it was supposed to be my favourite subject.Preparing for school took almost three hours, mainly because I fell asleep on the kitchen counter after eating breakfast. By the time I got on the bus, it was already some minutes after eight.I sighed as I slipped my phone back into my backpack. I was thankful physics wasn't the first period, or that would be a bad start to the term, as bad as it was already.When I alighted in front of the school gate, it looked like everyone was in class already. No gisters on the quadrangle, no iPhone flaunters on the stairs, no lovers under Lincoln's statue.My stomach dropped. It must be a considerable time into the first period already. I wasn't familiar enoug

VERAThe sky spun all the way to the clinic. I was very grateful when we finally got there and I could rest against the wall.Things passed in a haze as Josh met the nurse and explained things to her. Not that she needed much explaining. One look at me as we came in the door and she instantly by my side, fussing all over me.Now, as Josh talked, she took my temperature and opened my jaws to look at my gums."She's going to have a bed," she said, cutting Josh off. "You can leave now. I will talke it from here," she said.Josh hesitated, then carried me to the bed area and lay me down before leaving. I wanted to say thanks, but he was too fast. He was already out of the door before I could speak.Sighing, I settled into the bed.About a second later, the nurse walked in, carrying a satchet of some clear liquid. My eyes drooped closed as she started bustl

THIRD PERSON POVAlex stepped out of his room in the clinic, his head still throbbing from the bandaging the nurse had just finished. He wanted to see Vera, to make sure she was okay, despite the nurse's insistence that he needed rest.As he made his way to Vera's room, his mind raced with questions. How had she ended up here? And why hadn't she told him she went to the same school?Pushing the questions aside for the moment, Alex approached Vera's room and gently pushed the door open. The sight that greeted him made his heart ache.Vera lay on the bed, her face pale and drawn, but even in her weakened state, she looked beautiful. The rhythmic beeping of the monitor beside her was the only sound in the room."Hey," Alex said softly, crossing the room to her side. "How are you feeling?"Vera stirred, her eyelids fluttering open. "Hey," she murmured, offering him a weak smil

VERAI woke up slowly, rising from the darkness groggily.When I opened my eyes, the fluorescent bulbs directly above me nearly blinded them. I shut my eyes, then opened them slowly and blinked.After a few blinks, my eyes had adjusted to the bright lights. Everything around me was white and dazzling, including the bedsheets that looked like ….I frowned as a thought hit me.I was in the hospital!What was I doing in the hospital? Hadn't I been in the school clinic just a moment ago?"Oh, you're awake," Rachel's voice sounded.I turned to see her sitting beside my bed, intense relief on her face."You scared us quite badly," she said, smiling tightly. "Thank God you're awake now. How do you feel?" she asked.I blinked. "How did I get here?" I replied with a question of my own.
