And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 138

Chapter 138: First Day of School

Cassie.

When Trixie said she was going to be at my room early, I had no idea it was going to be before the sun even rose. I tried my hardest to ignore her persistent knocking, but in the end, she let herself into my room and forced me from

bed.

“Remind me again why we are up so early,” I groaned as I took my brush to my hair, trying to tame the wavy locks which seemed to have a mind of their own.

Trixie laughed at my comment as she stood from my bed and walked towards the open bathroom doorway. She had been insistent on waiting for me to finish in the shower and get dressed. Proclaiming I would go back to sleep if left alone.

 

“Because breakfast is in thirty minutes, and our first class is in an hour. Now stop messing around. You’re lucky I’m agreeing to you wearing jeans.”

Glancing out the bathroom door, I stared at her before rolling my eyes. “I don’t even eat breakfast.” The grumbled response caused Trixie to groan.

“Stop, just brush your damn teeth so we can go.”

My mouth dropped open upon hearing Trixie’s annoyance. I hadn’t known her for long, but in that time, I had never heard her get annoyed like she was now. Cocking a brow, I stared at her as a slow smile spread across my face. “Was that annoyance?”

She stared blankly, her eyes unmoving before a snort of laughter escaped her. “Oh, my God. Just come on already. I want coffee-”

“Wait, you guys have coffee here?” I asked, cutting her off, more than excited about getting coffee and perhaps using it to survive the day. My question seemed to shock her as she stared at me as if I had grown a second head.

“Uh-yeah. Don’t you guys have that in the human realm?”

Opening and closing my mouth, I placed the brush upon the counter and nodded. “Yeah, we do. Sorry, I guess part of me just thought this place would be super different.”

Glancing back at Trixie as I moved from the bathroom, I headed towards my bed where my small backpack sat waiting patiently for me to collect. I contemplated what else I would uncover here that was similar to my old home.

“So about this coffee, there wouldn’t happen to be donuts
