The warmth of the water Bowed around me, a gentle full that pulled me toward sleep.
"Ari, hurry up! I heard the popular guy is here
locked up, and everything around me was blurry and surreal. Where wall?
Ten's face appeared before me, hit with excitement. "Come and We'll miss him if we're late! They're short on helpers for the event, so he's lending a hand Come on, everyone's going to see him
She reached out to pull me along "No I don't want to go"
Tergave me a puzzled look. "Why not? it's Elijah! He's the most popular guy on campus, and his family's loaded."
Something lodged in my throat, words refusing to come out ignoring my hesitation, she grabbed my hand and palled me forward, weaving through the crowd
Finally, we reached the small theater where rehearsals were taking place. I looked around in a daze, the sea of people unfamillur.
Ten, let's leave. I'm not interested to see him."
I heard myself speak, my voice distant. But Teri didn't seem to hear me. Her gaze swept the room until she gasped and pointed excitedly.
"Look, there he is Elijah do on, Ari look"
She gave me push, and stumbled, my gaze lining
There by the plane, stood a young man dressed in white, bead bowed as he read from a script. The stage light cast a soft glow acrou his figure.
My heart skipped a beat, then a wave of terror swept over me, sallocating me. Even from this distance, Elijah seamed to sense my gaze and looked up
rose. The young Elijah-this one look at him something deep in my mind screamed, desperate to break free
He began to walk timed me, each step slow and deliberate, his sharp gare framed by his straight, blade-like brows Fea overlock me, and I backed away. "No. 1 don't want to know you Elijah, 'on't want to remember.. Stay away.." He stopped before me, his intense gaze bolding me in place. Slowly, he extended his hand. "Ari_"
"No!" I jolted awake, gasping, my body trembling

From the other room, I could bear Dora's anxious voice. "It's a good thing I forget my wallet and returned, or I would've never found Ms. York passed out in the ba Logan's voice, calm and reassuring, replied, "Don't worry, Loca Ariana will be Jiu. take said we caught it in time, and she'll be alright."
Loca's voice quivered with guilt. "I wish I'd come back sooner. Ms. York Is such a kind person I couldn't wait it something happened to her." Logan murmured a few more soothing words.
Ishifted slightly, wincing at the raw ache in my throat. Then, I started coughing, the sqund alerting Logan and Dr. Drake, who came in immediately. Upon seeing Logan, Istinctively reached out my hand. "Logan, what happened to me!
Logan immediately grabbed my hand. "You're fine. Dr. Drake said you just passed out and swallowed some water."
I turned to Dr. Drake. "Dr. Drake, I don't even know why I suddenly fell asleep in the bathtub"
Dr. Drake adjusted his glasses, a complicated look crossing his face. "Mu York, did anything happen today that might have disturbed you?"
I thought about it and shook my head. "No Moching
Dr. Drake exchanged a glance with Logan, who just gave a slight shake of his head.
Dr. Drake turned back to me, his voice reassuring "it's possible that the hot water was simply to hot, causing increased blood Bow, which may have briefly deprived your brain of oxygen and led to faining"
