“Vera! Vera!! Open your eyes!”

A muffled voice which later became loud rang in her ears. She didn't want to stand up because this must be the afterlife or her dreams. But the voice kept bothering her and shaking her up.

“What do you think you're doing Vera? You're going to be late for classes! Get up already!” the voice was clearer this time and it was definitely coming from Xena, she remembered this already happened to her before.

She slowly opened her eyes as bright light came in. She then close it and thought it was just her imagination as she was already dead. She was bracing herself for impact a few minutes ago, she must already be dead by now. Her body will probably be dragged away by other wild animals, or she will be found by the school after she had rotten away.

“Why isn't she replying anyone? Is she feeling sick?” Andrea asked, shaking Vera again.

Vera was sick and tired of hearing them talk. They were not supposed to be real and yet they were bothering her to wake up and go to classes. She was already dead, why would she want to go to any classes anymore?

She angrily opened her eyes, “Can you stop bothering me when I'm trying to sleep? It's not like—”

Her words were cut off when she realized they were all staring at her. That's not even what shocked her the most, she looked around her again to be sure she wasn't seeing things. She was in her dorm room and it was daytime. Her roommates were looking at her because of the way she shouted at them.

This got her confused. Did those alpha bastards look for her roommates and killed them because they were related to her? She felt like she was already thinking too much about it, and she didn't want to keep thinking about things that were not important.

“Xena, Andrea, Camellia...” She called as her eyes welled up in tears, “I'm so sorry. It's my fault that you all got killed. I can't believe they did this to you too.”

She cried while they looked at her. She didn't understand why they were looking at her like that. Andrea call the rest of them together because they felt like their friend was acting strange.

“What is going on with her? Is she going crazy?” Andrea asked them.

Xena shrugged, “I honestly don't know what is wrong with her. Should we take her to see a doctor? She seems to think we are all dead.”

Camellia nodded, “I knew she was going to lose her mind from studying too much one day. I thought I already told her to focus on training more.”

They were busy discussing about Vera that they didn't know she already arrived behind them. She popped her head into the conversation.

“Who did you say was acting crazy?”

They all jumped in fright as they didn't expect her to arrive like that. She realized that they were really acting as they would when they were alive. Does this mean that they could live together since they were already all dead?

“What is wrong with you? You shouldn't come up behind someone like that!” Camellia scolded her.

She suddenly pulled Camellia to a hug, “I know and I'm sorry. But we already dead anyway, what should we be scared of?”

Camellia pulled away angrily, “What is wrong with you? I don't know why I'm here wasting my time with you when I'm supposed to be in class!”

Camellia walked off without looking back. Andrea and Xena moved closer to Vera who was still in shocked with Camellia's anger.

“What is wrong with her? Is she blaming me for their death?” Vera muttered.

“What death are you talking about Vera? Don't you know you're late for classes?”

“Classes? Why are you still obsessed with classes when you're already dead?”

Andrea shook her head, then she moved closer to Vera and give her a slap to wake her up. Andrea felt like she wasn't awake yet and she needed some jolting back to reality because she was already losing the plot.

Xena gasped, “Andrea, why would you do that?”

The slap was enough to wake Vera up as she felt like this was so real. This definitely wasn't coming from someone who was already dead. What was going on? She didn't understand at all.

“Can't you see that she's acting very weird. She needs a wake up call.” Andrea replied Xena.

Vera nodded in agreement, “She's right Xena, something is definitely wrong here. What is going on right now? Wasn't I already dead?”

She touched her body all over, confusingly trying to understand what was going on. She went to the mirror to check herself and she still looked perfectly fine. She was wearing her night wear which means that she was just waking up. What time was it and what day even is this?

“Are you sure you're really okay? Do we need to take you to the doctor?” Xena was definitely worried about her.

She turned to look at the Xena, “What day is it today?”

Xena took out to her phone which was given to them by the school and the only way they communicated with each other, because outside phones wasn't allowed.

“Just look at the time and date. It's October the 2nd and we definitely just have fifteen minutes to get to class.”

“What? You're telling me it's the 2nd of October?”

Andrea grabbed Xena, “I'm sorry but we have to run right now. It's going to take us up to 5 minutes to get to class because you know the position of our room is very far.”

Vera surely wasn't listening to them because she just heard it was the second day of October. The second day of October was the same day that she just got killed, they had a test already before and now they were telling her the time was the same day.

“What's going on? I don't understand at all. How is it even possible?”

“How the hell is it not possible?” Xena finally snapped at her because she couldn't take it anymore. “You better get dressed and rush to class as soon as possible. You always said your grades were important. Now, I don't think they are important to you anymore.”

Xena grabbed Andrea and rushed out of the room. Vera listened to them and immediately went into the shower to take a 2-minute shower, before coming back to dress up. She rushed everything seeing that she only had five minutes left to get to class.

She started running down the hallways with her bags as they was less students in the dormitory anymore. She kept thinking about it because she felt like she was going crazy and she needed that run. It was the morning of the same day she was killed which wasn't far, because it was literally a few minutes ago.

She managed to get into the class right before the professor came in which was the last minute. She voice to her seat, as some of her classmates turned look at her and then focused on the professor. The professor was wearing the same dress she had already seen before, which confirmed what she was thinking.

Is this some sort of time travel or what? Was everything that happened to her before a dream or was it a vision of what was going to happen the entire day?

“Did I just get reborn to the same day I got killed?”
