Third Person
Oeillet de règne Académie: Academy Clinic
"Her feet were severely injured..." The nurse looked very emphatic while shaking her head, this is by far the most severe feet injury she has seen. "She needs to rest for quite a while. I can tell she has been enduring this for a long time..."
"When she wakes up, she needs to take a few antibiotics." she handed Klavier a bottle of antibiotics before exiting the female ward.
"Thank you po!" said Klavier politely before closing the door gently to not create a thunderous sound.
He leaned against the door, his bareback feeling the coldness of its surface, he stared at the blood-stained t-shirt before sighing. Now he needs to do the laundry despite having his nails completely pampered just yesterday.
He slumped the black shirt on his right shoulder and looked at the couple on the other side of the room. Saccharide was there kneeling on the floor for the past 36 minutes while holding Raine's hand and Raine was still sleeping so peacefully, her rosy red cheeks came back to normal again.
Klavier wanted to feel sympathy for the boy and he wanted to stroke his best friend's hair but a phone call stopped him from doing those things.
"Hello, Sir Broshe. Yes..." he answered frantically before opening the door to exit. Throwing one last look at the two hopeless couple, he closed the door behind him.
"Hey... Saccharide!" a female voice joined the scene.
It was Racquel with the bottle of antibiotics in her hand. She frowned when he found the boy completely silent after hearing her voice; usually, he will get irritated and curse at her.
But no...
He was just there kneeling, waiting for the girl to open his eyes.
"I heard what happened..." she decided to speak.
Placing the bottle of medicine on the nearby round table, she smiled before walking closer to the bed. She went on the other side to sit beside her friend, making sure she avoided her friend's bandaged feet.
"You know you have to see a doctor. Now that both of you have decided" she said and looked over to the silent boy. "And declare your love for each other, so no one can judge you"
His hands were shaking and unstable, his eyes were swollen, probably because of crying. The female smiled weakly and began to stroke Raine's dark hair.
"This is the first time you're silent. I see this is an eye-opener for you..." she spoke again.
"My auntie specializes in your condition. I know you didn't consider seeing her when we were dating but things are different. You and Raine chose your own path..."
Unsure of where to put her auntie's business card that she personally kept for endorsement, she stood up and placed it on the round table beneath the bottle of medicine.
"Uhmm... She's open anytime..." she muttered.
Now that she accomplished what she came for, she went close to Raine again, this time, she whispered, "Hey girl... I'm right. You succeeded with Saccharide"
—before kissing her friend on the forehead.
"Get well!"
When Racquel was about to exit, the door opened to reveal a serious-looking young professor, Sir Broshe without his glasses, and a worried-looking teen behind him, Klavier who has a clean shirt on now.
"Good morning, Sir Broshe. I'm sorry I'm late for the rehearsal, I helped picking up the cardboard props from the store" Racquel took the opportunity and showed him the receipt of the props.
He just nodded and took the receipt before giving some orders to the two teenagers, "Racquel. Please close door on your way out and Klavier, continue the auditions without the leading lady, let's begin from the start"
The two looked at each other before eventually, doing what their adviser told them to do. They took a last peek inside the room before completely closing the door.
Racquel looked at Klavier with a worried face and said, "Will he be fine there?"
"Girl, Sir Broshe will be fine—"
"No, I'm talking about Saccharide," Racquel told him which made the male raised his eyebrows. "You don't know how Sir Broshe turns into someone when his glasses are gone..."
"Sure hope it's his daddy mode though..."Klavier pouted.
xXx
"Let me make this quick, Mr. Heinz." The 23-year-old man started, not moving on his current place with crossed arms.
"For the past few weeks, Raine has been submitting projects and actives for your sake. She's working countless times for you. You're supposed to be kicked out of school because of the unbelievable number of absences," He explained non-stop even though, the one he's talking to is not looking directly at him.
"I don't care if you attack me now because this needs to get through your head. And if we're all fortunate, I'll get through your heart."
He took a few steps closer to the male which made Saccharide look at his feet before looking up at the looming male.
"You're ill I get that and I must be considerate to all of my students. My age is not that far from yours but I can't say that I feel you. I'm not the son of Demise Heinz to start with." Sir Broshe said.
"But let me tell you one thing. I will be the luckiest person if Raine Aksenov loves me even if I am Saccharide Heinz... She's trying to make your life better so please try helping her by helping yourself"
With wide eyes, Saccharide listened, squeezing Raine's hand in the process.
"We don't know if someday, she'll end up with someone she truly deserves...—" The male said in a more serious tone to get it through the teenager's ill mind.
"That person might not be you—"
Fear stroke Saccharide when the older male said those words. As fast as lighting, he tackled the prepared man on the ground; his knees prevented his legs to kick while his teacher's arms are pinned on each side.
"You fucking bastard! You don't know anything!" Saccharide shouted.
He was beyond pissed when he saw his teacher's calm poker face, completely flawless of any tint of fear for his life.
"I don't know anything but I care. But you? You know everything... Did you care?" the older male asked, making Saccharide release his hands and get off from him.
The adviser sat up and stared at the cowering male. Saccharide backed away and was now holding his head in frustration while leaning against the wall opposite to the door side.
"For 2 years, I've witnessed how much you made her suffer. Tradition, initiation, or whatever. I don't really give a damn..." the man narrated, "I actually suggested her to leave you but she said something that made me think that you are the evilest person there is..."
"She said, 'I love him. And if my pain would heal him, I'd die for him every day...'"
When he said those words, he looked at the sleeping girl on the bed for a bit before standing up to straighten his untidy uniform.
"She even lied about her father being alive so no one could contact him and so no one would get involved while you do those initiations to her." he continued, "If those things didn't snap you to sanity. I don't know what will"
Feeling satisfied with his words, he strived straight for the door and touched the cold metal of the doorknob. Turning the knob halfway, he forgot something very important to say to the male.
"Figure out a way to redeem your grades by yourself," he said.
A teacher must remind a student of those things because he has jobs to accomplish too, not just to be caught between drama romances of Oeillet de règne Académie.
"Sir—" a soft voice spoke.
At first, he thought it was the girl but when he turned around, he saw soft features plastered on the face of the once arrogant little devil of his class.
"I'll play the main lead..." Saccharide requested in which the older man just nodded before exiting the room where curious staff and students are waiting with beverages and snacks in their hands.
"So..." Klavier asked in a sing-song tone.
"I think I got to him!" he smiled before putting his glasses on the back again.
They cheered but Sir Broshe looked over his shoulders, unsure if what he said was really confirmed.
xXx
His shaky fingers made it difficult to dial the numbers on the emergency call of Raine's phone. If his phone was there in one piece, it would have been a lot easier to call Racquel's auntie to set up an appointment.
"Shit..." he cursed before regretting it after Raine shifted in her place.
The phone rang and someone with a feminine voice answered, "Hello, Dr. Porscha speaking"
"Ma'am. I would like to set up an appointment—" he smiled after looking at Raine's sleeping face.
"For the better..."
Hopefully, this would be the start of something for him and Raine...
But again, they haven't been able to reach their climax yet...
And not all the characters are introduced yet...
