She got up to get some water.
There was a fountain in the girl’s bathroom that made Maria giggle with excitement every time she saw it. It was the one with the boiling pot of tea in it. Its water tasted fresh, and Maria would spend hours at it if she could.
Thus, she called it the Fountain of Time. There was also a plaque over the sink that coincidentally called it the same thing.
However, when Maria entered the girl’s bathroom on the third floor, she was not alone.
Katie Dibble was doing her makeup over the Fountain of Time.
“Ew what do YOU want??” Katie asked, as though it was ridiculous that Maria had entered a bathroom.
“Um I left my cantaloupe in one of these stalls,” Maria answered sarcastically. She hoped that by the time she was done ‘searching’ the stalls, Katie would be gone.
By the time Maria was done, Katie was still there. She was muttering something really weird to herself.
“Ew what are you saying freak?” Maria asked.
That seemed to snap Katie back to reality.
“Um nothing,” Katie said. “Good luck with your cantaloupe.”
She quickly gathered her stuff, leaving behind a confused Maria.
Whatever Katie had said, Maria was sure she heard the words ‘back 3 months’ in it.
