Raye scratched her head, still half-asleep after she had fallen out of bed and almost banged her head on the small bedside table.
She stood up, relying on her bed to keep her up for a second while her eyesight slowly burned out, then came back again. Stumbling over to the dresser and raking a plastic hair bush through her straight black hair. She stared at herself in the square, vanity mirror, furrowing her brow line in concentration. A thin, still-red scar, only about 2 centimeters, located at the corner of her right eye, opposite nose. She hadn't had it when she had gone to sleep, nor when she woke up in the middle of the night for a trip to the bathroom. Sometime between now and then, though, she probably cut her self, with her fingernail or something. It wasn't actually a big deal.
She averted her eyes as a small, black line intertwined itself with the cut; a small drop of blood fell from the cut. It immediately evaporated into the air, or she wished she could assume.
She looked back, wary. The mark was gone, not a trace left it was ever there. But the headache that she had had since she woke up with was now more prominent.
She sighed, a rough one, and stood up, pulling off her pajama shirt, and tugging on a plain band T, with a pair of shorts, and a plain pair of white hightops. The Tee was just long enough to reach the edge of her shorts, her preferring longer shirts and shorter shirts.
Baggy shirts covered up the scars on her shoulders, where darkness had gripped her for so long.
She left the her dorm, slamming the door shut behind her. She sorted through her bag, checking to see she had everything, along with a small bottle of pain pills. She used them for the headache, nothing less, nothing more.
