Pushing the gym doors open gently, Grace slipped into the gym, still clad in her familiar jacket even when under the hot sun. It had felt like months since she'd left her dorm room, not doing much besides going to class. Things hadn't progressed all that much with trying to find Jacob, and every month that passed made her grow more and more disheartened.
Inside the cooler gymnasium, she glanced around, watching the few people that were inside go about their chosen activities. She remembered when this would've been something she would be interested in. After all, she had been a pretty outdoorsy person when she was in elementary school, but of course the sickness had changed that.
Now that the sickness was for all intents and purposes gone, she could've just continued where she left off, but her antagonizing powers and a general daily sadness kept her from wanting to do anything. It had taken more effort than she thought to just get up and go down here. Now that she was here, however, she didn't really feel like doing anything anyway. Why had she even bothered?
