okay so im done studying for my anatomy final, now i need to work on everything else.

____________________________________________________________________

Taking in a shaky breath, i rap four times on a door labeled '38'.

Moments pass and i'm left to shifting my weight until the door opens.

"Who goes there? What is the meaning of this nonsense?" Lisa asks, rubbing at her sleep filled eyes.

"Its me, Niall," I say, waving my hand although she can barely see me.

All the lights are shut off, only the moon gives light to us.

"What are you doing here? Go to sleep, will you?" She groans, opening the door a bit wider.

"I've come with a gift of food, I hope to speak with you some time before tomorrow." I bribe, reaching into my pocket for the bread.

She pauses, debating on weather or not to accept my offer.

"You brought food," She begins,"For me?"

"Indeed; since you're stuck and your room and couldn't get dinner, i thought id bring the dinner to you." I shrug, offering my hand out to her.

She grabs the food so delicately, as if not to miss any crumb, and cradles it in her hands. The door opens wider, allowing me to enter the room.

Lisa must have been a long time worker here, as there are lots of decorations around her room.

I recognize a detailed drawing of the human brain with labels, the style being close to the one i had seen previously in Florence's room.

The picture was halfway taken down, only one piece of tape held it to the wall.

She had a hairbrush on her dresser, although i'm not sure how useful it is considering her hair type. It must have been a hasty purchase.

"Thank you," She interrupts my inspection, "This was very kind of you. I apologize for the way i acted earlier, i'm very distraught as of lately."

"All is well." I say, affirming her apology and nodding my head to show i understand.

A couple moments of silence passes as she begins to eat her bread.

"Well, if you need anything, you know where to find me, room 56." I say, starting to turn around and leave the room.

"Wait," She stops me, guiltily look down at the floor, "Would you be able to bring me some breakfast?"

~*~

"And they were roommates!" Alice practically yells, raising her eyebrows for added effect.

"Oh my god, they were roommates!" Florence repeats, laughing along with Alice.

I laugh along with them, halfway faking it since i was spacing out for half the story.

"Oh Alice, that story never gets better," Florence says, wiping the tears from her eyes, "Do you have any more?"

"Hmmm, I'm not sure," Alice frowns and purses her lips in deep thought, "Oh wait, have I told you about the one time I caught Mr. Malik with another employee?"

My head perks up, i'm defiantly listening to this one.

"What! No way." Florence gasps. She turns a bright pink from the scandalous nature of the topic.

"Yea! One day, I think somewhere in the past month, i had stayed behind to help wash the dishes and clean. Helda was very exhausted that night, so i thought i might help her out."

"Come on, get to the juicy parts!" Florence interrupts, becoming impatient.

"Hush, i'm getting there," Alice rolls her eyes and continues, "So anyways, i was walking back upstairs to my room and you'll never believe what i saw!"

"Go on!" Florence practically begs, wanting to hear the dirt on her boss.

"Mr. Malik, or at least that's who i think, was kissing a girl by his office door. As soon as i made a sound, they stopped and quickly rushed into his office." Alice tells, biting her lip and raising her eyebrows.

Florence grows pale, seeming completely stunned by our boss's actions. I feel slightly bad for her, having her innocence and her positive look on this place slightly skewed.

"Wow," I said, taken back, "Is that even legal?"

"I'm not sure, but i wish it would've been me," She leans in and takes a side glance, "Mr. Malik is pretty fine if you ask me. I heard Dr. Fear was quite a looker as well, although that's just a rumor."

"Who even is that?" I ask, wanting to figure out who he was. Was he another headmaster here?

"He works in the basement, the head surgeon actually. I never go down there, or know anyone who does." Alice shrugs.

She finishes the rest of her pancakes as we chat and throws her stuff away to go back to work.

Florence does the same, chatting with me for a bit longer until she has to go back to work.

I wait for most of the other staff members to leave, and i take a couple pancakes. They seemed to only be made of flour and water, making them taste bland and cheap.

I throw my trash away and thank the cooks before walking back upstairs.

The hallways are empty, and i cant help but stare at Mr. Malik's door.

Did he really do that?

i wonder who the girl was..

I shake my head, I have an order to deliver.
