Chapter 8

After, my shower I got dressed and was walking out of the wash room as the guy from the cafeteria was walking in.

“Oh! You’re the girl Sarah was talking about right?”

“Umm who’s Sarah?”

“The girl you pulled away from me so rudely at lunch yesterday.” He said smirking.

“Yeah, sorry about that but I’m new here and didn’t know where or what I was doing.”

“So fainting includes her helping you because you looked pretty pale when you walked over in the first place so what exactly happened?”

“She just looked familiar.”

“Well you looked like you saw a ghost. Not to be rude or anything but why are you here?”

“I don’t really know.” I turned away and breathed before I walked slowly away from him.

“Hey if it means anything I see how Joel thinks you’re the Chosen One and by the way names Nate.”

I smiled too myself but turned around long enough to yell my name back to him.

“Is it ok if I call you Katie Bug? Because Sarah told me you flipped out when she called you Katie-Lou.”

I stopped and turned around to face him.

“If you really want to know more about me meet me tonight after dinner because I presume we have a break before we have to actually work.”

I didn’t give him time to answer me and just walked back to my room. I found a keycard in my back pocket and swiped it through the door. Opening I was met by a dozen people yelling welcome back. I looked around astonished and asked what the hell was going on. Nobody answered me because they were too busy shoving their faces with food and chattering to their neighbor.

Not getting any answers I stormed out of the room and found myself face to face with Deloris. Surprised, I jumped and my father’s ring went flying. Deloris bent down to pick it up apologizing the whole time but stopped mid-sentence.

 

“Where did you get this?”

“My father gave it to me before I was sent to prison.” I said attempting to get it.

“This is my husband’s.” She stated numbly. Forgetting I was there she lowered herself to the floor and wept.
