OMNISCIENT.

"Someone was found dead on our campus, in an open area, and they expect us not to panic?
Ha! Impossible!"

Shine was not having it as she paced her and Nebula's dorm room.

The news had just spread that a body was found in the middle of the campus' open park area and they were both scared out of their minds as they sat under lockdown in their room.

The university sent out an email just a few minutes ago, instructing students not to worry and notifying them that they had everything under control.

There were students sitting in their rooms shaking in fright and uncertainty, and the school's board was treating the situation as if it was minor.

"This mess is all over the news. I know my parents and Joey are probably worried out of their minds right now."

Nebula huffed as she desperately rummaged through her bag in search of her cellphone.

"Don't tell me I left my phone at the library."

She emptied all of the bag's contents onto the bed.

"Here, use mine." Shine handed Nebula her phone. "I already spoke to my parents. They want my ass home."

"Thanks. I can only imagine what my parents are probably thinking right now." Nebula took Shine's phone and dialed her parent's house number.

"Hello?" Her father answered.

"Daddy it's me Nebula. I'm alright."

"Baby girl! Sasha, it's Nebula!" Nebula's dad called out to his wife, and a few seconds later she came running down their stairs in his direction.

"Let me speak to my baby Darnel." Sasha grabbed the phone from her husband. "Nebbie?"

"Yeah mommy, I'm here. I lost my phone so I couldn't have called you guys. The university just sent out an email asking us not to worry. Like that's gonna happen." Nebula sucked her teeth. "These people act like we just lost a goldfish, and not a whole student. We don't even know who the person is yet. They're so backwards ma."

"I told you not to go to that school. There's a perfectly good college right here in your home state, but nooo, you just had to be free and not be confined and blah blah blah. I swear if something happens to my baby I'm beating everyone's ass at that school."

"Give me the damn phone Sasha. Our child is scared and you're up here talking about what she should have done."

Snatching the phone from his wife, Darnel spoke to his daughter.

"Baby girl, we're just happy that you're okay. Your mother and I were really worried, we still are, but we just ask that you be careful. I know you're scared, but just talk to God. He's always with you."

"Yes daddy, I know. I already did."

"Good. I love you."

"I love you too. Give the phone back to mommy." Nebula told her father.

"Here. Don't say nothing stupid." He handed the phone over.
