The day was passing with a slow monotony that always went hand in hand with school for Desmond. There was never really any challenge, and since this was his senior year this was doubly true. Still Desmond dealt his boredom and went through the day as he normally did. Desmond felt that everything was far from normal though, he was always be looking over his shoulder, waiting for a creature to appear from the shadows and kill him were he stood.<br/><br/>Desmond tried his best to hide his anxiety from his friends, and for the most part he was successful. The only ones who noticed anything off about him was a few of his friends, and they just attributed his jumpiness to a lack of sleep, as they knew that he was having trouble sleeping of late. So the day went by as normal, he talked and made jokes, and tried to be as light hearted as he could, but it was a struggle.<br/><br/>When lunch came he was glad that he would have a break from the boredom of his classes, and was actually able to cheer up a little bit. He and his friends all met up and found their usual spot on campus to eat lunch. Lunch consisted of boiled vegetables, chocolate milk, and  bland pizza, not much different then the pizza he ate last night after the 'event', as he had taken to calling it. Just as he took a sip of his milk, he felt a poke on his arm and nearly emptied the contents of his mouth on the table when he saw Annie.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-weight: bold">Desmond....i wanted to see what food your kind ate...can i try some? i got bored</span>" Just then his friend made the comment "[b] Holy crap dude! Who's she? Did you finally get a girlfriend[/b}" Desmond couldn't help as color rushed to his cheeks "What? N...No, this is my...cousin, from Norway!" Desmond thought that this was a pretty weak excuse but it was the best he could come up with "You want some? Here, lets go get you some!" He lead her away from his friends, who were exchanging glances between each other. Finally when he was out of their sight he would look at her, somewhat upset "What are you thinking? I thought you were supposed to keep hidden?"
