Walking into homeroom, I take the same desk as yesterday. I pull out my phone to send out a good morning text to Autumn. She is three hours behind right now so she is still snoozing. It's time to wake up sleeping beauty. Miss ya bunches. FYI KY SUX. I hit send with a smile. Oh, how I miss that girl. Placing the phone back into my back pack, I bring out our book for class. Right next to me was Marcus. He startled me that I almost dropped my book.
"Good morning sunshine," he said with a snicker. Shaking my head, I open to where we ended yesterday and start reading quietly. I could feel a headache coming on, ugh I hate when this happens. Mrs. Rose came in and started Roll call. The noise of her voice was fiving me such a headache. Louder and louder it became. I lay my head on my desk breathing in my nose out my mouth.
"Just breathe" Came floating through my head. Am I getting sick? The room was nothing but a roar of chatter around me. The only thing I could pick out was "He was so wrong about her, she could not be the one." The pounding would not stop either. I cover my head with both arms putting pressure down, with little relief. I felt slight touch on my arm. Raising my head Mrs. Rose asked, "Are you ok dear?" Shaking my head, no, she went to her desk and wrote a hall pass. "Marcus, will you take Brynn to the nurse?"
Barley able to lift myself, Marcus hand is on my back and the other is holding my hand to help guide me. Out in the hall I felt very dizzy. With Marcus on my left side I place my right hand on the wall for support and stop walking. Slowly I press my body against the wall for strength and the cool touch on my now burning skin. I do not know how long I stood there like that. Whispers were being said behind me but I did not care. With all my might I tried to stay on my feet. It was not enough before I knew it I was falling back. I never felt the floor though. Instead I started floating upward, and then hovering. Forcing my eyes open, I realize that I am in someone's arms. There is no more strength in my body to hold my head up to find out who's.
Felling cold and wet on my forehead, I reach my hand up to remove what is there. A hand grabs mine and my eyes shoot wide open. There is Tristen next to me laying my hand down softly on the bed beside me. "Take it easy, that needs to stay there." He says. My mind is going crazy trying to figure out where I am, why am I here and what does Tristen have to do with this? Not taking my eyes off him I move up further in the make due bed. Which happens to be what looked like a massage table of some kind.
My body does not feel any pain besides my head. That little bit of movement felt like I was just pushed off a ledge. Laying back down I release a moan. "Where am I?" I struggle to keep my tone even.
"The nurse's office." He replies.
"How did I get here?" Just a smile played at his lips. "Never mind that was stupid question." That got a chuckle out of him.
"You were having a tough time making it on your own, so I stepped in to help." Tristen explained my unspoken question.
"Where is Marcus?" I ask. Tristen goes completely still.
"I can go get him if you like." He spat at me.
"No, just wondering where he went since Mrs. Rose told him to walk me here." His shoulders relaxed a bit.
"I don't know where he is now, he did not follow when we started our way here."
"Oh," is all I could come up with. Rubbing my head to fill for the knot that I know I should have.
"what are you doing?" He asks. With a confused look on his face that showed a little concern.
"Trying to find the knot."
"Knot?"
"Yes, from where I fell in the hall." I answered.
"You did not fall, started too." Turning my head to look at him instead of the ceiling,
"I don't remember catching myself?"
"You didn't, I did." That took me by shock. Then I remember, I was in someone's arms. Terror came pouring over me like Nagar Falls.
"It was you that was carrying me."
In a murmur, "Yes" he replied. Wow, oh wow. I was in his arms touching him. And I could not even remember it. Ugh! I am just having horrible luck.
"Thank you" is all I could come up with. At that time, the nurse came in right with Amber and Kat.
"Well, Tristen you can go on to class. She will be fine." He gets up looks his sister in the eye and walks out of the room. But, I could swear I heard him say "Until next time."
"when you want attention you go all out don't you, girl? I am going to have to take notes from you now. Only been here a few days and already been swept off your feet." Kat just could not help herself. Not being able to stop myself I shake my head at her,
"The nurse says you will be good as new tomorrow but, I don't know if I would agree with that." Amber stated. That through me off guard a little. Giving her my best stink eye I ask her, "Why would you say that?"
"Well for one, I know I haven't known you long but seeing as you just can't stay away from trouble and for the fact that you have a thing for my brother well, that just makes me question your sanity," she answered. That got Kat laughing and high fiving Amber and even got a little chuckle out of me.
My mom came running in freaking out as any mom would, just more drama. "Oh, my baby. Are you ok? What happened?" she almost cried. "I'm ok mom, tired and have a headache. But I am fine." I answered. "Let's get you home." She stated. That was fine by me. There was no way I could make it through the day at school. As she turned to help me up that is when mom noticed the girls sitting back against the wall in front of the make shift bed. "Oh, hi. And who are you?" she asked in that caught off guard but, very protective voice moms get.
And without hesitation Kat spoke, "I'm Kat and this is Amber. We were just checking on the next Days of Our lives actress over here. We heard she put on quite a show and just had to make sure we could get her autograph. You know, it will be worth a lot of money when she makes the big bucks later." I slammed my hand over my mouth from laughing. This chick was awesome. Amber raised from her set shaking her head, "Please over look her, she was dropped on her head as an infant too many times. I am Amber Keller and motor mouth is Katie Jacobs. You must be Faith, Brynn's mom. My dad told me all about you."
This made my mom back straighten, my mom's brain was working fast trying to see exactly who she was talking about and the moment it hit her the you could see her body relax. "You are talking about Jake. Ok, yes, I know him. Well, of him he was a few years older than me" Nodding her head as she spoke. "It was nice to meet you girls and tell your dad that I said hi. But Brynn we need to get you home." With that we left.
