She was in honest shock. She really didn't expect it of him. But she leaned into the hug and took a deep breath. "Okay." She said quietly.
Hayden looked around and noticed it too. "It is… he must be OCD. That's a decent sign he is." Hayden nodded slowly. He was reverting back to the quiet self he was use to.

Levi held her for a bit more before letting her go. He trusted that she was decently clean as least when he hugged her. "Let's go"
They got to his door and he heard talking, then his name.
"Apparently he's got a ton going on. He has multiple personalities too" she says sitting up and still looking at Hayden. "I heard he had a lot more " issues" but that's the only one i witnesses" she shrugged.
Levi stayed there for a second and thought to himself about it.
"Issues….hm." He says to himself blackfaces. Of course he had issues. He was broken and unfixable. There's so many things wrong with him. He knew everyone else knew too. It was nothing new.
Laura slowly followed and just regained herself before they entered the room. She wasn't paying attention to the conversation, that Hayden was holding. "Well, I feel issues is a bit insensitive. More like- Oh I don't know, disabilities. Of a sort. But now that I say it aloud, that sounds worse." He mumbled.
"Gee thanks," Zanna responded deadpanning, "Everyone's got issues, just like we all live different lives."
Hayden crossed his arms scrunching back from Zanna. They seemed kinda rude, he never even said anything to her in this whole conversation.
group
Levi walked in casually and leaned against the wall. "So what's happening now?" CC spoke up.
"I mean…are we going to try to escape?"
Laura stood beside Levi and looked at them. "Well we do need to- but can we?" She asked simply.
"I don't see why not," Zanna shrugged, "They've been training us for quite some time to do this shit without us knowing. So why can't we just go do it."
group
"We'll just kill all of the teachers." Levi halfway joked. CC seemed to take that idea very seriously. "But like…what if we do? Wait no, that'll make us criminals!?"
She was obviously conflicted.
Hayden was hesitant, but then just dropped the feeling he had. "You know what, yeah, we gotta do this." He said crossing his arms tightly, and Laura nodded. "Meet me at the Library during Breakfast. I'll have food, I promise." She said standing taller.
group
"Wait what?!" CC says confused. She looked to.Levi then Hayden, Zanna then Laura. These were crazy people she was around!
Then again, she wasn't exactly…normal either.
"Deal" Levi says pushing himself off of the wall.
Laura nodded and looked to CC. "If you don't come you have to swear to keep silent. If you spill you are gonna get us killed. We all know too much as is." She said looking directly at CC. "And you Zanna, same to you. I'm not sure how much I can trust you due to…earlier." She didn't want to bring it up and effect Levi again. "I'll see you all tomorrow." She said heading to the door.
"Sure," Zanna shrugged as she leaned off of the wall, "Don't know what I did, but whatever."
group
"Oh I'm coming" CC says as she walked out. She stood up off of Levis bed and looked at everyone. "Well, imma go to sleep though. Well…if i can that it" she says as she headed to the door
(Time skip everyone?)
(Sure.)
The morning had come, and Laura had woken at around 4 am. She had snuck some food into her dorm to bring to the library during breakfast. "Alright Laura, time to get this over with." She said grabbing her bag and heading to the library.
group
CC woke up pretty late, noticing what time it was and rushing to get ready and to the library.
Levi on the other hand had been up for the past three hours. Getting ready and cleaning. He was the first to be at the library. Even before Laura. There he sat in the same spot he had sat down the first day he met Laura and she put the pin in his hair. Yes, he had worn that today. It was very useful.
Laura made sure no one was following her and slipped into the library unnoticed. She walked to one of the tables and set her bag on it gently. She slowly sang to herself emptying breakfast from her bag. "Well hail Caesar shadow on my backseat~"
Hayden on the other hand had sort of lost himself in the hall. He never needed the library, he wrote, not read. So he was looking for this thing he didn't really know existed.
group
As CC was running to the library she ran into Hayden. "Heya Hayd! Is it alright if i call you that? Anyway, are you looking for the library?" She says all happy and perked up with a bright smile. She really felt like the walking dead. But she wasn't about to show him that.
Levi stayed in the back and listened to her pretty singing. He didnt actually know she sang, but it was truly beautiful. Like her
He shook the thoughts and stood up, going around the shelf and leaning on it as he looked at her. "And why don't you sing more miss?"
Hayden turned around with a gentle smile. "Hey- yeah I am, you know where it is?" He asked quietly.
Laura froze and turned around quickly. She was super flushed. "I- I don't like to sing in front of people most the time…" She whispered running a hand through her hair. She looked at him trying not to blush.
group
"Well you should. It's quite pretty" he says pushing himself off of the shelf and look at the food. "But i get being rather shy. You get embarrassed easily don't you? It's rather cute" he says mumbling the last part.
CC grabbed his hand and led him down the hall. "Yup! Oh wait" she stopped and turned around to him. "Are you alright if I do this?" She says gesturing to her hand, which was still holding his.
He nodded gently at CC. "I don't mind." He chirped as she led him on.
Laura looked away. She just couldn't stand to look at those pretty eyes. "I guess so…" She managed to say.
group
"Good!" She says ruffling his hair playfully and leading him to.the library.
Levi was quite amused by her getting flustered so easily. It was.actually.pretty fun. He let out a soft chuckle, stepping up.to.her.
He bent down to her level and gentle lifted her chin up to.face him. A small smile.on his face. "Just don't.hide that face of yours alright?" He says looking her in the eyes. He never really did things like this..but he was in a good mood today and he found it funny to embarrass her.
Like he said. It was kind of cute. In her own little way
Her heart pounded hard at his touch. What was wrong with her? She gently shoved him away trying to brush it off. "Why are you so flirtatious? Do you realize you are? Because I don't think you do." She said playfully.
Zanna woke up to the alarm she had set. They blinked a few times to realize she had fallen asleep at their workbench in the middle of a project. They let out a yawn and got changed into some new clothes still putting on her jacket, choker, and gloves once she was done. She yawned and ran a hand through her greasy hair only to look down and mutter curse words as they realized their hands were still covered in a thin layer of oil. She shrugged it off and continued off to the library to meet the other kids there, maybe she could finally get out this hell hole.
Hayden saw Zanna as CC pulled him along. He didn't bother to say hello because they were going to the same place. So what was the point? It wasn't like she cared anyways right?
group
He stepped back and let out a soft chuckle. "Flirtatious? Me? Never" he turned around and picked out a book, opening it with one hand, then setting it back into the shelf. "Though it is amusing." He turned her. "I might try it more often"
She bit her lip. She wasn't sure she liked it or not. Part of her liked the attention the other wasn't sure she felt it was meaningful for all the compliments.
