"You girls shut up and go to bed." senior
Eira admonished us.
I was hungry so sleeping would be hard for
me. I don't sleep well under hunger.
"Are we not eating dinner?" I wondered.
"It's about time they bring the foods, they
don't expect us to starve to death. Do they?"
Mia whispered behind me.
Senior Eira was the one that answered. Her
words were not what we were expecting "I
do not think there will be meals tonight, the
school is still trying to curb the virus from
spreading further. Just sleep, there will be
food in the morning" she said in more of an
order than advice. We were distracting her
maybe.
I could feel she wanted privacy to think.
Maybe being a senior was not all that cool if
it meant having to worry about so many things.
I was harbouring thoughts that maybe being
a senior meant stepping on juniors and
showing off your powers to others in the
school and maybe going on missions and
striving to become a top student.
Everyone else was slowly drifting to sleep
or maybe they were not. I was not sure, the
room was just silent. However, I know I'm
getting overwhelmed with sleep so that's
what I did, I slept.
Some gurgling sounds and movements in
my stomach woke me up from dreamland. I
was having a dream that I was at the night
beach party.
The last place I was before being sent to
the school. I left with a young man to the
serene part of the beach and we started
making out. However, this time, it was not
Jonas. It was an able-bodied fellow with a hard chest. I trailed my fingers across his abs and felt the strong flesh cold on my fingers.
I touched the place where his breast was supposed to be and the succulent thing
that was plastered on his chest with nice
width and size bounced beneath my palm.
Oh, this felt cool, I was in heaven, I thought
as I continued to feel his godly body with
my palms touching every nook and cranny
of his chest down to his stomach.
Then my fingers traveled up, it went further
to touch his thin structured nose with the
hole in his cheek. I felt those too, they felt
so soft and smooth. Why would a man
possess such baby-like skin? He almost
seemed angelic.
I stopped exploring his face as my face was
buried in his chest, taking his mint smell as
l inhaled hard.
My hands did not stop exploring, they went
on to his hair. The short well-styled strands
felt fluffy under my adventurous palms, it was just like cotton!
This wasn't Jonas, that was sure. This was a rockstar or a celebrity. Only celebrities have such bodies.
"Look up and meet my passionate eyes
darling " his deep masculine voice whispered and slowly brought my face away from his chest and onto his face.
My eyes were closed because it indeed felt
like a dream. I did not want to open my eyes,
this phase in heaven might be over when I
open these eyes.
"Come on, I want to get lost in the mesmerizing beauty of your eyeballs. I want to climb high on its moonlight shape, I
want to claim you with an eye contact. I need a direct communication of the eyes love. Grant me this request." Again, his profound voice whispered in the quietest way which was so loud and rang so much in my ears
I obeyed like a loyal student and slowly, I separated my lids as l allowed my eyes the
grace of setting on the beautifully made
essence in front of me whom I've been
taking in and breathing in his scent all
along while my hands traveled about his
body.
My face turned blue instead of red, and the
hairs across my shoulders and legs stood
in attention as if there was a commander
present who was calling out the parading
orders!
In front of me was none other than the annoying jerk! What was he doing here at the night party I and the girls go to?
He didn't seem like the party type, he
was an A1 introvert!
And what the hell was he doing to my body?
Why was he standing still and allowing me
to touch him that way? Oh damn! I was even
breathing him in. I coughed out violently
trying to cough out his scent that I'd been
breathing in all night. I wiggled away from
his hold and almost push him away.
"What the hell are you doing to me?!" I
roared. I touched my body that he had been
caressing all along and wrapped my hands
around it protectively. "Why are you
shirtless, what are you doing?!"I fumed
again.
His face which had previously held
passionate gazes turned bitter as he stared
at me with disgust. If he hated me I don't
care, well I hate him too!
He tilted his head " I think the question should be, what are you doing?"
What was I doing? Was he trying to play innocent? He was obviously all over me and
I was sure he was the one that told me to
rest my head on his chest so l wouldn't see.
He was taking advantage of me!
"What do you mean what am I doing?" I
spewed, my voice coated in contempt.
He nodded his head forward signaling to
something. I followed the movement of his
head and stared down at my stomach.
I heard the grumbling sound coming from it,
it was the most embarrassing moment of
my life!
Suddenly, the sounds grew louder and
louder and he stood expressionless at first.
As the sound coming from my stomach
grew louder, a smirk broke across his face
which turned to a mocking smile and then, a wholesome laughter.
A frown crept on my face and I closed my eyes to avoid meeting the mockery in his eyes
but when l opened my eyes, I was on the
bed. All the three girls including senior Eira
were standing above me.
"Seriously Medusa?" Mackenzie was the
first to talk.
I was sent away from dreamland by a face
that was disgusted at me and was laughing
mockingly at me to meet three faces who
stared down at me with disapproval.
I blinked my eyes at them, my hands on my
chest.
"Are you that hungry?" senior Eira asked
me.
Oh, I was, if only she knew how much. I was
hungry since the previous night down in
my dreams and even in reality.
"I've been hungry since last night."I said
while mustering up the most innocent voice
I could. Their faces seemed as though they
would eat me alive anytime soon.
" I'm a late waker but your singing tummy
wouldn't let me have my beauty sleep " Mia
scolded. I wanted to tell her to shut the fuck
up but I figured it would be better to let things
slide. I don't want an argument so early in
the morning not after I've faced an episode
with the annoying jerk in my sleep.
Why on earth would he appear to me in sleep? He even made me do things and laughed at me in the end. Oh, I wouldn't forgive him when I see him. I promised myself I was going to smack his annoying ass twice, it was a promise!
The voice-over broke our conversation and
heaved a sigh of relief. It was not a pleasant thing to see the girls rat my ears out for making sounds in my sleep.
"Hello, students, we want you to know we
are with you during these hard times and we are doing our very best to keep the
situation under control which thankfully is
working out and after two nights, the curfew
will be lifted" the voiceover paused.
"Say something new! We've heard that
before honey." Mackenzie growled.
As if hearing her words, the voice-over
continued from where It stopped. " Food
and new neat clothes will be provided to
your doorstep soon"
"Now, that's more like it !"I shrieked.
Finally, food! Clothes!
A nice way to start your day.
Again, as if hearing my joyful jubilation...
"Some of the medical staff who came to take your blood for testing has countedbeach person in each room and has recorded each name so we would be able to know your preferences when it comes to clothes and foods according to your past history in the dining area and your wardrobes. Do know that the school considers you first above every other thing and your safety is our priority." it ended.
What? They've counted each student? But
we were not counted, we were not even
tested because senior Eira said it wasn't
safe.
So no food and new clothes for us?!
I and Mackenzie turned to senior Eira
simultaneously with looks that could swallow her whole.
"What? I did not force you to come with me"
she shrugged nonchalantly. How could she
be so nonchalant about the situation? We
are not getting food or new clothes all
thanks to her. It was true she didn't force us
to come with her though.
Mia's mocking laugh filled the room as she
rolled on the floor holding her stomach
while she laughed at us.
Today should be named the day everyone
laughs at Medusa!
