Chapter Text
AJ sat on the floor, she had been staying with Ghostie for the past few days. Flick pecked at her screeching for her to get up. Eventually AJ complied, standing up felt like a challenge, her muscles ached and her head pounded more than usual. Ghostie had left a little before that saying she would be in the main hall with a few others.
AJ left the dorm room and made her way out of vulpes. She decided on going to the pub, getting drunk would definitely help, and with that AJ walked passed the main hall and to the entrance, she could just barley make out Ghostie’s voice beaming through the hall along with a couple others (curse her terrible hearing).
AJ left through the front entrance and immediately spawned a Flick,
“yea I know, I know- I said I know flick! Gosh”
AJ complained as her familiar screeched at her for choosing the pub of all places. AJ morphed into Flick and flew over to the pub.
*****
AJ left the pub, she had sobered up mostly. Making her way back to the academy felt 10x more difficult, her limbs felt heavy and she felt too weak. Walking through the entrance she decided to go to the garden. Walking through the door she immediately heard voices booming from the green house, walking into the green house she announced her presence getting a happy greeting from Bright one and Alien and multiple glares from others.
Normally AJ would butt into the competition and join in or tease one of the others but she didn’t. AJ stood there staring forward her usual confident demeaner was non-existent at that point.
“-ok?”
“AJ?”
AJ snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see the group all staring at her, “AJ are you ok?” Bright one asked, “’m fine” she replied looking away from everyone.
The conversation quickly returned back to normal. AJ stood where she had been for a while, her head was pounding and her vision was swimming.
She doesn’t remember what happened just that her vision started to darken and her knees buckled beneath them and she heard a shout.
*****
Graecie was listening to Juniper as she spoke, in the corner of her eye’s she saw AJ sway.
“AJ!”
Graecie yelled as AJ fell to the ground, everyone around her fell silent for a moment before her, Ros and Juniper rushed forward. Right as they were next to her, she started convulsing,
“Seizure!”
Juniper yelled and quickly rushed to AJ moving her flat onto her back and tilting her head to the side, she was counting out loud.
As Juniper counted Zam ran out to go get a professor or Violet.
“twenty-five, twenty-six…”
*******
When she woke up she was on the ground, she heard voices around her. AJ groaned slowly opening her eye’s, the moment she made a sound Teachers pet was next to her, her mouth moving as if she were saying something but her vision started to swim and darken again, this time a sharp pain shot through her entire body, she gasped in pain as her world went dark again.
*******
When she awoke again she was in the infirmary. AJ felt a hand on hers, she squeezed her hand and heard a gasp.
“AJ?” the voice was way too familiar,
“AJ, are you awake?” the voice was more clear now,
AJ opened her eye’s slowly and looked to the side,
“Drift…” she said weakly no ‘open book’. She was about say something before Drift launched at her wrapping her in a tight hug.
“You stupid idiot! You scared me so bad! Don’t do that ever again…” Drift almost yelled into her ears,
“don’t… don’t you hate me for what I said… you- you should hate me for what I said” AJ questioned then contradicted herself,
“I don’t care about what you said we can talk about that later… just don’t do that again… please” Drift cried into AJ’s arms and AJ held her, a genuine smile crossed her face,
Drift faced her and leaned down and kissed AJ.
