Week Twelve
The week before exams was a strange one. Cassie's time was split between going to class, studying by herself and studying with Amber. Cassie felt bad for Amber; she'd missed several classes without the advantage of already being ahead or having a genetically altered brain. She didn't know how she did it, especially so close to exams. So since she couldn't share her brain, she studied with Amber whenever she could.
Strange things seemed to be going on in the dorm room:
"Where's my notebook..
My notebook, my notebook.."
Cassie searched through her schoolbag.
Amber heard a light thumping noise and looked up from her desk toward the noise..just as it stopped.
"Is that it?"
Cassie looked up from her science book. "Yeah, thanks." She grabbed it and stuffed it into her book bag.
"Did you hear that just a minute ago?"
"Hear what?"
"..Nevermind. It's stopped now."
Even Rena and Orion were acting weird. Orion wouldn't come near her and whimpered when she came near him. Rena mewed more than usual and pawed at random objects. But when Cassie would pick them up Rena acted uninterested.
By the end of the week Cassie had decided that either she, or the rest of the world, had gone completely insane.
