章 74: A Break

"Zeref. Wake up!" Jace rushed in on a Friday morning.

As soon as I heard his voice, my eyes snapped open and I leaped out of the bed, rushing past him. I sped down the hall and nearly broke down Malia's door while rushing in. My shoulders dropped in disappointment to see her still unconscious in her bed. She was even paler than yesterday.

Jace came up from behind me, placing his hand on my shoulder in comfort.

"I thought…" my head spun from the sudden awakening.

"You thought she woke up?" Jace finished off my sentence and I nodded, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. "Sorry… I shouldn't have woken you up like that. I came in to tell you we are late for school."

"WHAT?!" my eyes widened before I scrambled to the bathroom.

"I'll get your bag ready." he yelled after me, carefully shutting Malia's door and making his way downstairs for breakfast.

"I'm planning to choose the study of shape shifting for our careers day." Jace said, shoving a spoonful of rice into his mouth.
