Snippet #1874269

(( So sorry for not posting in so long! STUPID HOMEWORK!)) Time passed quickly. A few teachers stopped by, asking through the door if the girls were alright, and Cristina just coughed and said, " I'll be better after some rest, thanks for asking." She was growing very hungry, though, and she went to her bag several times throughout the day to dig into the snack bars and candy she had hidden in a pouch in her suitcase.

As she was chomping down on a Ceder Lakes Chocolate Granola Bar, she glanced to the left from where she was lying on her bed, and saw the clock. It read close to 10 PM. Strange that the headmistress would not question their illness, but Christina let it slide. She said, " We should head down. Lights out is in a few minutes or so. I think..." Christina cocked her head to the side, wondering about the flashlights that were supposed to be somewhere in the room, there if the power went out in a storm. " I think there are flashlights.... In the cupboard!" She jumped up and ran over to the cubby on the wall, reaching in and pulling out a single blue flashlight. Clicking it on, she grinned once again, excited to find out more information. Whether she was breaking the rules or not.
