A familiar voice pierced through my calm. Opening my eyes, I saw Lea, the woman from my last class, standing over me with a smirk. "Back for more?" she asked, tossing her sleek, long ponytail over her shoulder.

"You ran off yesterday," she said suddenly, her thin lips curling upwards into a smirk. "Something wrong? Pull a muscle?"

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

She shrugged. "No, nothing's wrong at all," she said with a smile that was more plastic than teeth. "I've just never had morning sickness, so I can't really relate."
