having lots of fun with Din. ‘Casey reasoned, trying to reassure herself.
Casey looked up at the clock, the glowing red figures blinked in the dark, it was way past midnight.
“Where could he be?” Casey whispered to one in particular. “Could something happen to him…? No…it was just a bad dream…Go back to sleep, he’ll be here in the morning…” She promised herself, laying back down and burying her head in the pillow.
She lay silently in her bed, an uneasy feeling taking over her entire body.
“It’s nothing.” she promised herself. “I just wish that Morgan was back already…then I will stop worrying.”
She whispered into her pillow, closing her tired eyes and letting herself drift into tormented sleep.
-It's weird how things happen, even when you don’t expect it a perfectly good morning can become the worse day of your life.-
The howls of the ambulance and the shouts of the police officers filed the not so long ago silent halls of the summer school, reaching all the way up to the student’s dorms.
Colin, who until that point was having a most pleasant dream about him not being there at the moment, lifted his head off his pillow, lazily opening his eyes to see what the entire racket was about.
"What the fuck is that?" He asked himself, actually expecting an answer. “Would anyone please stop that noise? People are trying to sleep here…” He growled, flipping himself over and crashing head first onto the cold floor.
"Fuck…ahh...Crap…oww…"
He muttered incoherently; trying to mentally decide if he should even try to get up from the floor or just continue his sleep where he fell.
Toby, his roommate, who laid in the bed across from Colin’s by the door opened his eyes as well, looking at his friend that still sat on the floor, a stupid sleepy grin painted on his face.
"Dude…"
Toby glanced at the clock that hung on the wall above his head.
"Oh man…Colin, It's fucking five in the morning…and as much as I like to see you suffer, it’s just too god damn earl y for this shit, even for me. “
He yawned. “Couldn't you like fall out of bed in six’ish? We got no fucking classes until ten."
Colin growled, reaching over his head to his pillow and then angrily throwing in across t he room at his laughing friend.
“I did not fall out of bed on purpose you moron.” He huffed as he pulled himself onto his fe et, making his way to the door.
“Then why were y ou on the floor?” Toby smirked.
“I fell.”
“Point." Toby laughed.
“Not my fault!” Colin snapped, looking at the door.
"Can't you hear that?" He asked Toby who looked at him, puzzled, he, too, glancing at the door.
"Hear what?" Colin shook his head and opened the door letting the sirens from below get a couple of notches louder as the howling drifted into the room.
Toby growled and covered his ears, but none the less he nodded.
"That I can hear. Fuck, what’s going on down there?” He asked, pulling himself up from his bed to a half sitting position supported by his elbows.
Colin shrugged, grabbing his shirt from the floor, where he let it fall the night before
"I don't know, let's go find out, it might be interesting."
“It might be trouble.”
“Yeah.” Colin smiled. “Like I said, interesting.” Toby growled.
“You are spending way too much time with Din, you know that?”
“Yes,” Colin looked at his friend who was still half laid on the bed. “Now will you please get up? You are missing all the fun.”
It took Toby a few moments to get up and put his pants on, and then stable himself enough to get to the door but ones he did both boys went out of their room and down the hall, eager to see what the source of the noise was.
"Toby! Colin! I was just on my way to wake you guys up!" Both boys turned to the sound of their names being shouted and none other than Din came running towards them, half dressed in loose training pants just like Toby was.
"What's going on? Did you hear that
