30. Prayers come true

Ariana woke up to find Nate, Alexa and herself sprawled across the floor. She blinked her eyes several times to clear her vision. Her room was a total mess. There were empty bottles and chips packets scattered everywhere. She took out a rubber band from her pocket and tied her hair whilst remembering last night with a smile on her face.

After the "cremation ceremony", they had turned on some music on her laptop and sang along the lyrics on top of their voices. They stayed up all night eating and drinking till sunrise. Only then, had they fallen asleep. She wondered why the guard or the other students hadn't come to complain about the noise.

As she grabs her phone to check time, she sees a message from Sean reminding her of the 8 am class. All the fatigue and drowsiness from the day before vanished.
