"Daisy, are you okay? You look pale" Jade dropped her cutleries and shot her a worried look.
"Do I?" Her voice came in a whisper and she hated that.
It was obvious she's trying to keep cool, but her head keeps hurting every now and then that she barely touched her lunch.Jade was getting so worried and grew restless as she studied her.
"I think you should visit the infirmary"
"I think that would be okay, great. Sorry I think I have to leave you again. I'll be right back" She gave jade a soft smile.
But nothing was more comforting to Jade than Daisy visiting the infirmary and getting herself treated of whatever illness is bothering her.
"It's okay, go and be back swiftly" Jade smiled back at her and while Daisy made her way to the server with her tray in hands.
"Hey" Daisy looked beside her to see Jude. She hadn't notice he was around.
"Hi" She gave a quick painful smile accompanied with a light wince.
"Are you okay?" He asked with deep concern.
"I'm fine. Excuse me"
She knew she had to leave right away but as she made to walk away, he held her wrist.
As if burned, she flinched and the tray fell of her hands, the contents spilled on the floor.Every eye zeroed on them, everyone was curious to know what's happening, and as every silent seconds passed, she felt and undescribable feeling down at the pit of her stomach, her eyes hurt.
The pain grew intense and too much to bear, Jade was at the edge of her seat, alarmed.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to" He apologized.
"It's okay" She replied quickly and squatted to pack the empty plates. She just wanted the pains to go away!
"Are you okay? You look pale, are you in pain?" He was really concerned, she knew but she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Her head felt light and hurting bad on the inside, banging! And she was almost tempted to lay on the cold tiled floor of the cafeteria.When she was done packing, she stood to her feet and moved away from him.
"Daisy... Daisy wait..." He held her wrist and this time she turned sharply. He gasped in shock at the look on her face, not because she was glaring at him or not pleased with him, but because at that moment, he watched her hazel eyes turned to crystal blue.
"I said let go!" She yelled, wrenching her wrist free from his grip.
Her breathings, rough and fast. And now, everyone were already on their feet and staring at her. Daisy tried her possible best to steady her breaths but it was like shooting arrows in the dark.
Soon, the violent rush of waves and water filled the air, accompanied with the chilly air and winds blowing from every angles, they couldn't help but panicked even though they were clueless on what's going on.
"What's going on?" Jade wondered aloud and as if to answer her questions, the windows cracked and broke and the cafeteria was flooded. Screams filled the air as everyone ran for safety.
Daisy glanced around swiftly after regaining her senses, the fluorescent lights flickered and went off. The once bright cafeteria got dim.
The violent rush of water went on for minutes and the cafeteria was a complete mess. The servers stood on the serving counter for safety.The door broke making way for the flood to pass through the corridors and into various classes.
Screams and shrieks filled the air and the wind got thicker, the air grew colder and freezingly cold. The students and staff ran and swarmed for safety.
At that moment, the school building turned out to be a total disaster. The flood didn't stop due to the fact the the school was located near the ocean.
It took a long time for the rescue teams to arrive and by then, the flood was already leveled as soon as Daisy's breaths got steady. How?
She could only watch on speechlessly and everyone was shocked to the core at how unaffected she was. She was dry and not even a single trace of water could be detected on her. It was as if the water avoided her, making a large space for her to stay in and they saw her eyes colour.
"She did it! Who exactly are you?" A girl pointed out and soon everyone insulted and yelled at her. Those who looked up to her like some sort of idol now talked down on her.
But as she watched everyone, questions lingered at the back of her head as she wondered what monster she had become.
