Lois watched as Enyeko slept, wondering whether she was in pain or if it was happening again, she watched for a bit and it looked like the girl was at peace , unmoving, unflinching , a sleep little death,she continued to watch as finishing an assignment and was sleepy when she noticed the window pane.

naturally there should be rows of horizontal lines on the floor indicating the shadow of the window,but there was nothing , just the floor like there was no light passing through the window. She stopped for a second taking notice of the rooms change in temp. *This isn't good* she thought, feeling ominous about the whole situation, *someone or some entity is using magic on the school campus, but who or what is sooo old and powerful the campus checkers can't detect it. that's a level ...* she causally but cautiously looked at the school handbook which enye keeps on the study desk.She picked it up and opened to the pages with school rules and cautions to be taken neatly written on top and skimmed till she reached the section in bold caps and red ink.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU NOTICE THE USE OF MAGIC ON CAMPUS.

The use of magic is against the law and school rules without special permission.If you ,see,sense,find ,notice or happen upon someone using or with a magic item on campus, you should not panick no matter the situation.

keep calm till the Magic watch comes to deal with it. if it's a normal case they will detect it.

But if it happens to be one of these three special cases.

case one; of which there's no change in temperature .A powerful sorcerer is on campus. Do not engage, just move about your activities .

case two; of which there's a force field near by ,a hunter is working on campus.Try your utmost best to stay out of the crossfire.

case THREE ; In the case of change of temperature of environment and detection of magic but no response from the Magic watch. THERE'S AN EXTREMELY OLD AND POWERFUL CREATURE NEAR BY DO NOT ENGAGE OR ANGER IT. JUST HIDE!!!!!!

That night, they slept in the same bed, *she looked peaceful in her bed she must feel lonely*, she thought to herself. She put her books together and crawled into the bed, then wrapped her arms around her and covered them both partly in fear and trying to play dead but looking for another warm body for reassurance. "Maybe this will help". She then fell asleep half shaking as she watched Enyeko's shoulders slowly drop. The moment Lois fell asleep, a black cat walked on the wall close to their bedroom window and came to a stop in front of the window. Its shadow dropped into the room onto the floor right by Enyeko's bed. A figure began to rise out of the shadow, but then it stopped abruptly when it noticed Lois. It then retreated back into the shadow and the cat walked away.

Enyeko opened her eyes slowly and closed them again. The sunlight was hitting her directly in the face from the window. She also realized someone was hugging her. She looked in the direction of the feeling and saw Lois sleeping peacefully. She slowly peeled her off and got out of the bed feeling something was missing. She got to the bathroom and got ready for lectures. As she was getting out of the bathroom, she met Lois at the door. "Good morning", Lois said to her. "Did you sleep well?" 

The question hung for a while then her eyebrows lifted as she said, "Yes! I slept really well. I slept really well". She repeated it to herself as if she didn't understand what she was saying. "What about the dream?" Lois asked. Enyeko blinked once, then twice and said with amazement "I didn't dream." She smiled and laughed then attempted to hug Lois which got awkward fast and walked into the room. she got ready for her lectures and left the hostel.

She took notes as the lectures went on. She just felt at peace and happy it seemed like the day her problems would just disappear as she recalled how she happened to end up sitting next to Jones.

Lost in thought and in a hurry to get to the hall, she did not notice that she was being called as she walked past the library, until her bag was grabbed .she stopped with a jolt from behind looking confused for a second.She tried to continue walking away as she visibly shuddered .When she saw the face of the man from her nightmares, Jones, the guy she admired and feared at the same time. He smiled and said, "I've been trying to get you to stop forever but as always you were lost in thoughts so you didn't hear me, or were you purposefully avoiding me?" She looked at him and replayed the question then said "Huh?" She still couldn't grasp what was going on. 

So he laughed and said, "Every day when you pass the library, I call out to you but you never respond. You always have this meh and distant look so I guessed you were lost in thought". "Oh...", was all she could say because she felt uncomfortable, scared and nervous at the same time. She mustered words and said, "Is there so...so...something you wanted?" He eyed her for a moment and realized that she was shaking so he let go. Then he said, "Yes, would you mind sitting next to me during lectures today?" She looked at him bewildered, blinked and said, "Huh?" And that's how she ended up sitting next to him.

After lectures...

She went to see professor Declan. "Enyeko, I wanted to speak to you yesterday because I noticed that you were depressed and I wanted to suggest help from a friend of mine. As a psychology student, I don't expect you to notice it, because most often, the doctor can't treat himself. But you are one of my good students and it would be a shame for me if you killed yourself" He said in his usual serious and stern but casually joking tone. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a card, smiled at her and said, "Get help okay? Whatever's bothering you, no matter what it is, there's a cure for everything." He smiled again and said, "That's all." She took the card, gave him a nod and walked toward the door. The moment she got out of the hall she eyed the card. "I would have gotten help if I thought anyone could... she stopped as she read pass the library, I call out to you but you never respond. You always have this meh and distant look so I guessed you were lost in thought". "Oh...", was all she could say because she felt uncomfortable, scared and nervous at the same time. She mustered words and said, "Is there so...so...something you wanted?" He eyed her for a moment and realized that she was shaking so he let go. Then he said, "Yes, would you mind sitting next to me during lectures today?" She looked at him bewildered, blinked and said, "Huh?" And that's how she ended up sitting next to him.

After lectures...

She went to see professor Declan. "Enyeko, I wanted to speak to you yesterday because I but who knows, maybe there's something to this.....she said as she noticed the therapist's green orc skin and tusks which looked out of place with her sundress,hat and smile" She put the card in her pocket and went back to her hostel.

"Welcome back," Lois said as Enyeko walked in "Ehn? I don't know how to respond that." "Huh?" Lois replied. "Didn't your parents ever do that with you?" "No", Enyeko replied. "They were loners and weirdos so nothing in my home was normal."She smirked alitte. "Must have been sad right?", Lois asked. "No!, it was truly peaceful." Enyeko replied with a smile. Lois looked at her with a confused expression as she changed into her onesie. "Well... what did you eat for dinner tonight?" Enyeko zipped up the onesie and began to stare into space. "Did I... Did I... Did I eat yesterday?" She turned to look at Lois whilst scratching her head,"I'm still getting used to my human body Eh... Did you buy anything edible? my original species doesn't eat often so I forget to in this human body", she said with a forced smile. Lois laughed and said "it's a common thing in Universities with other beings having to change into human forms to go to UDA funded Universities for literal equality sake. alot if creatures take a while to figure out their bodies so it's fine.you aren't my first green roommate" while handing her a pack of fried rice. Enyeko sighed and said "Thanks" as she took it. That night they slept in the same bed and this time Enyeko hugged Lois instead .
