Bab 4: Fourth
"Oh my gosh, Tammy! What the hell took you so long?! I'm hungry!" The moment Tamitha and Castor entered the cafeteria, her best friend, Pearl, welcomed them whining. "Oh... who do we have here?" The minute Pearl laid her eyes to Castor's way, she immediately gave Tamitha a teasing look, making Tamitha roll her eyes.
Pearl can't seem to get her eyes off from Castor, she's close to daydreaming not until Tamitha hold her to snap her out from fantasizing the guy. She even flutter her eyelashes to look cute around the guy and in return he just gave her a small smile getting a little uncomfortable with what Pearl's doing.
"Pearl, snap out of it!" Tamitha whispered before officially introducing them.
"This is Castor, Castor this is my best friend Pearl." Castor immediately offered his hand to the maiden which she gladly accepted. "Nice meeting you." They said in unison, making them laugh. "Let's eat, shall we?" Tamitha invited.
Tamitha just ordered a salad and water then immediately look for a seat for them which she didn't have a hard time finding one since their cafeteria's very spacious, although the place was not that crowded. Since she has no appetite to eat a lot today, she decided to just eat some salad. She waited for her friends before eating her lunch. Minutes passed they finally arrived, Castor had a pizza while her best friend preferred a heavy meal for today she's having some rice and roasted chicken.
The moment Pearl sat beside her, Pearl kept whispering nonsense to her making Tamitha shake her head. "C'mon girl, I know he's not your type let me have him." Tamitha tried ignoring her and just gave her attention to Castor.
"By the way, where's your brother? Did he finally replied?" Tamitha remembered when they finished praying. "Oh yeah, he said he's not feeling well. He wanted to get some rest in our dorm." Tamitha just nodded in response and started eating.
"Oh, so he has a brother huh?" Pearl whispered to her once again making Tamitha sigh and rolled her eyes at her best friend.
"Wait! Let's take some pictures first! We finally have a new friend!" Pearl excitedly stated before fishing her phone out. Tamitha suddenly felt a cold stare coming from somewhere, making her look around the cafeteria. She first saw an uncanny shadow near the cafeteria's exit door but she ignored it and look where do those chilly stares coming from. Then, there's Asteria in the second-floor eating hall of the cafeteria looking down at them with a smirk on her face. "Tamitha! Come on! Smile." Pearl catching her friend's attention.
Tamitha avoided the gaze and just focus her thoughts to her friends and ignored those weird devilishly stares from Asteria. She saw how excited her best friend was to post their pictures on all of her social media platforms. She just laughed at her reaction. When Pearl's done posting the picture she quickly interrogated the lad making Tamitha nervous for Castor. She knows how straightforward her friend is.
"So what's with that twin of yours? Is he sick or he's just a coach potato?" The lass said bluntly, making Tamitha panic. "Pearl!" "What? I'm just asking?" Her friend defended, making Castor laugh.
"It's fine, Tamitha. My brother may seem to be distant at first, but once you get to know him more he's the most caring and loving person you'll ever meet. He's just exhausted and not feeling well right now but don't worry as soon as he gets better I'll introduce you to him." Both lady seemed to be more curious about the twin brother of Castor but Tamitha tried to divert the talk into the other topic.
Her best friend even opens up the unique invention Tamitha invented for the university like a proud mother. "Oh, my gosh! My favorite invention was the mini scope wherein you can easily see the constellation with that mini scope. It may seem impossible yet this girl made it; making her the precious gem of this university." Tamitha suddenly got shy while Castor looked fascinated with what Pearl just shared with him.
Northcrest University is well known for any Science related courses although the university is still offering other courses they just cater best to the astrological courses because they got every advanced technology at hand, which is very helpful for Tamitha every time she'll make some inventions. She got every resource she could ask for.
"That's cool. H-How? Wow! I'm speechless right now." Castor who still can't believe what he just discovered was speechless, making Tamitha more shy around them. And he will definitely flip out when he discovered that the famous mini scope Pearl just mentioned is in Tamitha's possession disguised as a pendant on her necklace. "Oh my gosh! Stop it, you two, will you?" The two just laughed at her reaction and continued talking about Tamitha's unique inventions.
"So what's the precious gem's newest invention?" Castor teased.
"Oh good heavens! Don't call me that!" Tamitha just earns a laugh from the two. "But I don't have any idea what to invent right now," Tamitha stated honestly. "What? Aren't you doing some research about dreams for quite some time now? Isn't that how you start up every invention you do?" Tamitha shook her head as a response and said, "It's just me feeding my curiosity."
"Why what's up with your dreams? You having some nightmares?"
"Y-Yes. I-I don't know if you could even consider those as nightmares. It's just that everything feels real whenever I would dream something as if I was there. The physical pain... the emotion, I could feel all of them."
"Maybe you're lucid dreaming?" Pearl butted in. "That's one possibility I've read during my research but it still not satisfy what I'm feeling."
"Have you considered visiting a doctor about it?" Castor suggested. "I don't know. Is that even necessary?" Tamitha tried to laugh the situation off to avoid getting awkward. "Why didn't you tell me about this? I could have helped you research things." Pearl sounding concern causing Tamitha to panic.
"I'm sorry. I just don't want you to worry, since I don't even know what's happening too. I mean, it's probably because of my sleeping position? I don't know. Can we not talk about it anymore? It's just stressing me out."
"Well, maybe that's the reason you're having those dreams. You're probably just stressed out. Say, my brother and I will visit our ranch on Sunday. If you want, you can go with us to take some breather and relax. I could also teach you to ride a horse."
"Oh my gosh! I love that! Yes, we'll go!" Pearl didn't even gave Tamitha a chance to reject the offer, making the maiden sighed in defeat. She thinks this could help her take those thoughts away for a while and just relax. Pearl started asking a different question about the place they'll be going on this Sunday, obviously too excited about what's bound to happen. Tamitha remained silent and happily listened to her best friend's query and to Castor who's happily answering those questions.
Moments later, after discussing the details about their meet up on Sunday and exchanging numbers, they parted ways to attend their afternoon classes. 'I just hope I could find peace of mind to that place.' Tamitha silently hopes while walking to her next class.
