STIGMA

Brothers and Nightmare

Luca was taken aback. This guy although he is similarly handsome like the guy with crystal blue eyes act differently.

Luca shook his hand and can't help feeling the warm she felt when she did shook his hand. "My name is Luca Morrigan." she introduced.

"Nice,I'm also a senior in St.Xavier. I've seen you around your friends earlier in the lecture hall." He said.

"Ahh yes, ofcourse all of us are in there. Hahaha. Are you alone?" Luca asked.

He shrugged. "seems like it, I lost my brother. He's bad with directions." He said then he took the journal from Luca's hands.

"hmm,looks like a diary of the main nun here. This might be useful." He said to himself.

Luca tilted her head. "for what?" she asked.

Marcus gave her a small smile.

"maybe they'll have a graded recitation later on or something. It wouldn't be bad to be advanced." he said while pocketing the journal.

"Hey, I found it first!" Luca said in disbelief.

He just smirked. "Better luck next time, kid." He said then winked at her and completely left her alone.

"He's so strange." Luca said to herself.

"who?" Clara asked.

"AHHH!!" Luca shrieked.

"hahahhaha who were you talking to I was on the other aisle of books I didn't come since I was holding a pretty beat photography book." Clara said.

"you scared me! His name is Marcus, St.Xavier student. He's hot." Luca said.

Clara who already has a boyfriend winked at her.

"why didn't you gave him your number, silly?" Clara asked.

"Because I'm not confident and hot." Luca said.

Clara rolled her eyes. "Girl, go get yourself a mirror or have your eyes fixed."

When it's already dinner time they met their friends on their way to the dining hall which is pretty classy and spacious. Luca also noticed how well decorated the dining hall is with baby cherubins around the walls.

"I wonder how much our parents paid for this retreat? This place look so loaded as f*cked." Dylan said while helping himself with serving of chicken and gravy.

Luca shrugged "it's $870 I paid mine when mom wired me my budget." she said.

"Nahh, not bad." Dylan said.

"Rich d**k" Granger said.

"eww, Granger!" Abby scolded.

Luca and the others laughed.

Jessica jabbed Luca's elbows and made her look on their right. "look someone's waving at you."

Luca nearly choked. It's Marcus beside him is the handsome guy with crystal blue eyes. He looked displeased with what Marcus is doing.

Marcus winked at Luca.

"girl, when did you met that hottie???" Jessica asked.

"earlier in the library." Luca reluctantly waved back to Marcus. Who really looks so outstandingly handsome that  Luca is already aware that many girls from their class will glare daggers at her.

"Introduce me to them girl!" Jessica said demanded.

Dylan snorted. "Jes, you're not yet satisfied breaking hearts around school?" Dylan asked.

Jes and Dylan started bickering like always.

"seems like a f*ck boy to me, Luca. Don't go near them." Louis said.

"someone's jealous!  Granger teased.

" If I were you Luca, don't date Louis he's gonna be suffocating. " Abby jokingly said.

" No, I won't! " Louis defenses himself.

They gasped.

" are you saying?????? " Jessica asked in shock.

Louis coughed while a blush creeps on his cheeks.

"what I mean I won't be suffocating on any girl I date." He defended.

Luca internally sighed in relief,Louis is only a brother for her.

"but why not? Both of you are single. " Dylan said.

"Because He's my brother!" Luca proudly said. "and we don't do incest here!" she added.

They laughed to that.

After their dinner some of them went turns to take a bath on the bathroom on their rooms.

"I'm sooo tired!" Abby said while plopping down on her bed with wet hair.

"If Jes is in here she's going to insist it's too early to sleep." Clara said.

Luca secretly took sleeping pills so she won't have a disruption on her sleep. She doesn't take sleeping pills regularly since she doesn't want to be dependent on them especially her grandma always mock her for taking them at home.

They all went to sleep.

"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP TOUCHING ME!"

Luca and Clara woke up.

They both went straight to Abby since she was the one screaming.

"STOP IT PLEASE!!!" Abby cried in her sleep.

"Abby, wake up! Wake up!" they both tried to wake her up but she won't.

Luca went to the bathroom and filled a glass with water. Since Clara cannot wake her up and she's still in nightmare, she splashed water on Abby's face.

She finally woke up and she cried.

Clara immediately hugged Abby.

"What happened to you baby, Abby? Who hurted you?" clara asked while clutching Abby on her arms.

Abby is still crying and drenched in water and cold sweat.

"There we-re men trying to touch me!" Abby sobbingly said.

Luca hugged her too. "No, no. Abby,they're not real. You had a nightmare." Luca reassuringly said.

"it W-was so real! They're gonna kill me and I was wearing a nun uniform." Abby tearfully said.

Luca and Clara looked at each other.

"Here Clara, let's change you clothes. Luca, can you please get Abby a glass of water? Not from the bathroom tho." Clara did her best to joke and make the mood lighter.

Luca nodded and stroked Abby's head. "you'll be okay, I promise." Luca said, knowing how terrible nightmares are.

Luca made her way to search for a pantry. She was on her way to the staircase when somebody grabbed her arm.

"are you the one who were screaming earlier??" a cold baritone of voice asked.

Luca who was frightened shook her arm and turned to see who was it. And her eyes widen in surprise. It's the guy with crystal blue eyes.
