Elizabeth sat up suddenly in her bed. Drawing her knees into a cross legged, she sat there for a few minutes before wiping the sweat away from her forehead. She staggered out of bed and shuffled to the cafeteria. Focusing on the buffet tables, she grabbed herself a piece of old toast and an empty glass before heading back to her room. She saw Shannon, Max, and Clara hugging farther up in the hall causing her to stop walking. Swallowing the dry piece of toast in her mouth, Elizabeth opened her mouth to speak. Then shut it quickly.
Don’t be stupid Elizabeth. Don’t ruin the moment. Tact you stupid girl, tact.
She walked off silently into the room and headed to the bathroom, finishing the last piece of toast beforehand. Elizabeth filled her glass with water from the bathroom sink and tipping her head back, drank it all down. Then back on her bed, she begin to read ‘A Brave New World’, rubbing at her eyes occasionally, her head propped on her arm.
