7 Glass Walls

I fluttered my eyes open as I was getting tired of sleeping inside the infirmary. The first thing that I saw was the square shaped lamp that was the only source of constant light that was on. I grabbed onto the lamp and got out of my bed to start exploring the infirmary room.

I started to walk around barefoot with the lamp in my hands. The light of the lamp shone through the glass walls of the infirmary where I saw a adolescence girl with wavy silver hair toppling around her waist wearing a white gown meant for patients. She was standing on her barefoot looking at me with her orange speckled pupils widening at the sight of another person.

She looked like an small celestial ethereal being. Her slender pale arms and legs complemented her small face as she started to walk towards me on the other side of the glass wall. She started to say something as her twinkling eyes started to swell up and tears ran down onto her cheeks. "I don't have that much time, but promise me - !"

I wondered what she was trying to say. After I heard the first part of her bell-like voice that wanted to promise me something, I couldn't hear the rest of what she wanted to say.

A boy that was around the same age as the young girl that was wearing a plaid ocean blue and white shirt and navy coloured pants that matched his silver hair with ocean blue eyes entered the room at the other side of the glass wall. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards her bed and made her sit down with a frown and said, "You should know that you shouldn't get out of bed! What were you thinking getting up and ruining your health!"

The boy oddly resembled Luke with his matured features. Now thinking of it, the beautiful adolescence girl with magnificent sparkling eyes resembled my orange pupil eyes.

"At this rate, you'll never let me out of this room! It's been one year since I've been trapped inside here." The girl yelled in frustration as more tears ran down her face.

"It's not fair... It's not fair. It's not like my health will get better from staying in bed all day anyways" The girl started whimpering while pouting.

The boy ignored her complaints and sat down onto her bed and whispered a weird chant while touching the girl's shoulders. The girl who was once awake soon fainted and lost her consciousness onto his hands. After making sure the girl was not awake anymore, he sighed and left the room.

However, right after the boy left the room, the girl's eyes fluttered open and she started to walk towards me. She whispered softly towards me with her fierce eyes, "I don't have that much time, but promise me that you will meet me in the place you are right now every first night of the month at this time."

And the dark night that was swallowing up the room slowly broke into a room with faint sunlight dripping through the walls. However strangely, instead of standing in front of the glass walls, I found myself lying down on the floor where I was supposed to be standing. I slowly got up to see Luke standing right in front of me.

Luke was staring down at me with a expression like: Why are you lying down on the floor instead of the bed?

Seeing how the room was already filled with sunlight I asked, "What time is it?"

"9AM." Luke replied with a frown.

Whoa. Well i guess it did kind of made sense, Luke wouldn't be here in the middle of the night, right?

"The bed was way too warm, so I ended up sleeping on the floor," I tried to explain myself.

"Yes, I see." Luke replied sarcastically.

"So I think I'm better now so I'll go to the library to go and study." (Rika)

"Are you sure you're already better? I don't think someone exactly in their right mind would choose to sleep on the floor no matter how warm their bed was." (Luke)

"Then let's go together!" (Rika)
