The door opened just as Hunter was about to finish his sentence. A tall, lanky nurse stepped into the room. She was dressed in a knee length, nurse uniform complete with a matching flat cap. She didn't look friendly. "Is he awake?" She asked. Zoey nodded yes. "I'll have to ask you girls to wait outside. I want to do some checkups". Reluctantly, Zoey pushed up from her seat. Ashley wasn't ready to go out yet but the stern look on the nurse's face simulated her body upwards. 

The throng of other recruited janitors fill the halls as they burst the balloons and bag them in huge trash bags. The loud burst of the huge balloons keep interrupting the teachers in mid sentence. Frustrated lines are creased onto Mrs Julia Roberts's face and Hunter is very sure he can spot a few gray hairs on her head. Economics class was no child's play. Mrs. Roberts was interrupted every now and then by the sporadic 'pop' sound the balloons made as they burst. In her hands was a large marker which she used to draw illustrations of the board to enunciate her point. The economics class was very quiet today. Mrs. Roberts was known to be very tongue lashing with her words. Her outward appearance was plain mean. She was in her late thirties and as far as Zoey knew, she always wore matching suit and skirt to school. She was on the lean side of tall and sported blond hair pulled tightly into a bun. Today's topic was Inflation which she had made sure to circle round on the markerboard. "Be

???????????The phone line rang there times before a man picked it up, his movements were slow and precise and he didn't appear in a hurry to pick up the phone"Hello. Mr Toby Grant speaking....???????????" Phew!" Josh said. "That was a close call Josh says coming to a halt. "Chirag what do you see?" Hunter asked "The principal said Jerry's body is in one St. John's morgue."Where may that be?" Zoey wondered. "I didn't there was a morgue in Westlake"." How come I haven't heard of it before?" Chirag asked. Zoey rolled her eyes." You've been here only a month, that's why" she replied "okay this is the end of the road guys" Zoey said giving Hunter and Josh brief side hugs."Bye" she said waving to them. "Bye" they waved back to her and Chirag. " Been a long time I heard about Ashley" Josh smirked. Hunter blushed. " Well I soon ask her out" he said."Why don't you ask her on a date" J

Her eyelids blinked slowly and her short eyelashes blinked rapidly in consternation at the blinding light. It stung her eyes, leaving behind a trail of peppery liquid oozing out of her eyes. After getting used to the light, she looked around the room. By pressing her hand on the bed, she could tell that she was lying on a firm mattress. The wall was white and the blinds hanging from the windows had the same shade of white. An oxygen breather was covering her nose and mouth. She pulled it off, scrunching her nose at the smell of antiseptic soap and bleached walls. Fresh air suddenly wasn't so fresh after all.A glance at her body told her that she was in a hospital bed which also meant that she was in a hospital. She was clad the a spotted white hospital gown. Her hand was hooked to an IV drip and another machine monitored her heartbeat in synchronized steps.Beep..... A pause. Beep.... Another pause. Beep.A third pause...And on and on and on in a synchronized h

Soapsuds trailed behind him as he walked back into the bathroom to finish his left over bath. His bath didn't seem so sweet after all. He turned the shower on, and the cold droplets of water ran down his back in seconds. He felt as if he could feel the life of a particular droplets slip past.He shuddered upon increasing the shower. He sure hadn't felt the cold before Andrew came in, he was sure. His mood had suddenly turned from happy to sour. He ruffled his soapy head and washed his torso. He scrubbed his skin down angrily and watched as his arm turned red. He splashed some water on his face, hesitating when it came to his lips, reminiscing about how he'd kissed Ashley with those same lips.He switched on the higher and watched the soap flakes disapear down his body in puddles, then disapearing down the drainage hole. Finished, he took his towel and wiped himself dry. He tied the towel on his waist. He pushed the door open, approached his wardrobe and threw out some casual clothes on
