"Wait wait wait...what? You guys are trying to find me?" She finally asked after a brief hesitation.
"Yeah! We're so worried about you, even Matilda and Debbie! It's quite dark outside already! Even though you guys fought over the issue of the fallen glass, but we're still roommates. We are a family and obviously we will worry about each other!" Zelda said "sincerely".
Of course they would worry about her not coming back. It's not that they care about her, it's just that they are afraid of what Deshawn will do if they didn't find her.
These girls were also freshman like Georgetta. Even though they've only been here for a few days, they've already heard gossips and rumours about Deshawn. They already knew that no one in Jeremiah University dared disobey Deshawn's orders. These people include all the staffs in the school.
"Then let's go." Georgetta replied quietly,"I just hope that after I get back, they won't keep blaming me. By the way, I will pay for the glass."754Please respect copyright.PENANAJMldNpOasm

Georgetta's not sure whether she likes Zelda or not. But she has her doubts about whether Zelda really cares about her. She didn't care whether Matilda and Debbie liked her or not. She just hoped that they won't keep bullying her after she gets back.754Please respect copyright.PENANAck14D6Akf4

"Don't worry Georgetta! No one will make you feel bad anymore." Hearing that Georgetta's going back, Zelda was ecstatic. If Georgetta goes back, then her task will be accomplished.
Standing in the shadows from afar, Deshawn stared at Georgetta and Zelda walking back to their dorms. He began to walk away, towards the bright street lamps.
"Deshawn, Georgetta kept annoying you, so why are you protecting her?" After Jackson finished phoning dorm 316, he went back to Deshawn to report his progress. He didn't understand why Deshawn was caring so much about this girl named Georgetta. In his memory, Deshawn has never cared for any girls, no even the rich girls who wanted his attention.
"Shut up!" Deshawn commanded. Then he briskly walked away.
Jackson could do nothing but shut his mouth. He didn't say anything else.
Georgetta arrived back at her dorm room. Matilda and Debbie stared at Georgetta in disgust but both of them were relieved. They were glad that Deshawn wouldn't hate them anymore.754Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDYLsQOfP
754Please respect copyright.PENANApEJ7j2CxW6
However, they didn't understand - Deshawn obviously hate her, so why would he protect Georgetta?
This is not good. It just means that the next time we want to chase Georgetta out of the dorm, it won't be easy. Matilda thought.
Georgetta sensed their hostile looks, but she didn't complain because they were not saying anything.754Please respect copyright.PENANAycLCz9rVdh
754Please respect copyright.PENANAk0FmKheprF
What's wrong? Why are they not laughing at me anymore?
Georgetta was bewildered. She didn't want to think anymore. She just needed to rest.
Her plan to write the speech wasn't very successful. She decided to rest so that she'll have enough energy to finish it tomorrow.
Maybe it's because she's too tired, or maybe she's just sleepy, as soon as Georgetta laid down, she was asleep.754Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ZHSS45an

She seemed to be in her old high school once again. Beside the flower field, a boy in a white t-shirt stood beside her.
"Georgetta, I will do my best. I will try to get into a good university and find a good job so that I can support you and live with you."754Please respect copyright.PENANAy2M8lIuIZd
754Please respect copyright.PENANAJLpkONzRpX
His smile was soothing and calming.
"I will persevere with you!" Georgetta smiled.
Suddenly the scene changed. Georgetta was standing in the cafeteria. She was holding a bowl of soup. Then she tripped and the soup in her hand fell forward...754Please respect copyright.PENANAvqureG98H8

Georgetta sat up. She was sweating.754Please respect copyright.PENANAhyeEyh1r2P

She just had a nightmare!
In her nightmare, she dreamt about a person. His name is Lowell. He didn't get into this Jeremiah University with her. However, he got into an Ivy League school. After the summer, he stopped contacting Georgetta. Georgetta missed him. I'll write an email to him tomorrow. Georgetta thought.754Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Op2CQict
754Please respect copyright.PENANADfLYp5ht2S
After the nightmare, Georgetta had troubles falling asleep. After half an hour, she fell asleep. Luckily, this time, she didn't have any nightmares anymore.
Morning arrived. Georgetta woke up, feeling quite groggy. She looked around the room and noticed that the room was empty. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. WHAT! It's 8:30 already! Why did I wake up so late?
It's class time already. I'm late!
Unfortunately, even if she's late, she still had to go to class. She didn't have the habit of skipping class. She struggled to sit up on the bed.
She felt light-headed. Why do I feel so tired?754Please respect copyright.PENANAGZVOM5TP63
754Please respect copyright.PENANAf868yUpava
Did I get a fever last night from the cold forest wind?
Wait what! If I have a fever, then that's more of a reason to wake up! I won't get anything done by just sitting on the bed. I have a lot of things to do! I cannot stay like this.
She got up slowly and got dressed. She decided that she will go to the clinic once she gets out.
When Georgetta walked out of the dorm room, she tried to find the clinic. However, there was not even a soul in sight for her to ask where the clinic was. Oh right. It's class time.
Georgetta wandered around and arrived at the school's shopping area. She walked into a clothing store and asked the store owner where the clinic was. Soon she arrived at the clinic.
The thermometer read 38.5 Celsius. She had a fever.
"Do you want a needle injection or do you want to eat medicine?" The doctor gently asked.
"Um...injection would be good." Georgetta wanted to get better quicker, so she chose the needle.754Please respect copyright.PENANA9iHisUinns
754Please respect copyright.PENANAorvwfvce7V
"Okay. You can pay first. Twenty dollars." The doctor stated.
Georgetta froze. An injection costs twenty dollars! What the hell!? She completely forgot that this was a school for the rich people. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxt1GwsfPWl
754Please respect copyright.PENANAj87HCPK5wT
"I'll eat the medicine then." Georgetta had no other choices.
In the end, Georgetta spent ten dollars to buy the medicine. Even though it wasn't that much cheaper, but even ten dollars made a difference. She was desperately in need of money.754Please respect copyright.PENANAVNy8eYlrwl
754Please respect copyright.PENANAAu0difuKFt
"Deshawn, Ken just phoned me and told me that Georgetta didn't go to class today." When Georgetta waddled out of the clinic, she accidentally heard a boy talking on the phone. The name that the boy mentioned instantly made Georgetta stop in her tracks.754Please respect copyright.PENANAefvaTD7qdN
754Please respect copyright.PENANAJIBbwuhA32
What? Deshawn? Is Deshawn here?754Please respect copyright.PENANAfY0Sm8eBSc
754Please respect copyright.PENANAFTokHHRghX
Why am I so unlucky? I bump into him everywhere!754Please respect copyright.PENANA1zYLk7MTuU
754Please respect copyright.PENANAQhsLzhyLAp
Also, the boy seemed to be talking about how I didn't go to school today. Is Deshawn secretly stalking me? Then wouldn't Deshawn know everything that I'm doing?754Please respect copyright.PENANAvJCtJx0KVS

"Let Ken ask around to see why Georgetta's not in class today." An icy voice cut through Georgetta's thought. The owner of that voice made her shiver in recognition.
