I had been up for multiple nights my head overworking, my body barely keeping up, I knew decisions had to be made. I walked into class and I could feel the air had changed, I couldn't figure out what it was so I pushed the feeling out my head and continued my day. I hopped into my chair, the teacher gave us a round up of what we would be doing today, so we were given our scripts and entered the empty stage and began practicing. Unbeknownst to me and my sleepy self, 5 pairs of eyes were staring at me and hell, if eyes could kill they would. We were given a ten minute break so I headed out of the stage.
I was at the door of the toilets, when I noticed my classmate beckoning me over, I slump over to him, the next few moments were like a blur, all I remember was being dragged into a room, and feeling pain everywhere, my eyes slowly closed and darkness took a hold of me. I woke up in the nurses office, I groaned my whole body aching, the last time I felt this pain, nah, maybe going too far. The school nurse explained that I had been attacked in the men's changing room and that a student found me lying in there. I was helped home by one of the teachers who made sure I got into my house safely.
I collapsed when I got in, my younger sister rushed over when she heard the front door shut and shouted for mum and dad after seeing the bandages on me. Not what I needed at that moment, I would have to give a detailed account to my father, and my mom would want to know where the pain is, God, the joys of having a mum as a doctor and a dad who is a policeman. My mum checked over my bandages and placed fresh ones, set up my bed and I was given strict orders that I could not leave my bed, afterwards my dad comes in and asks me some questions about the incident.
...................
A week had passed. I had been resting for the whole time in bed, my mum only allowed me to get out my bed to go to the toilet or the shower. After an investigation, I was permitted to go back into college, no one was charged with assault, much to my father's displeasure
As soon as I entered the room, the scent of her perfume floated towards me, I scanned scanned the room for her, and then I saw her, sitting in the back, her golden hair shining just like the sun. We locked eyes and I smiled and my heart leapt. As I made my over to her, she began to blush, coyly flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Hi" She said "Will you come back to my house after college?"
"Yeah I'd like that" I gently brushed my hand over hers and walked to my seat at the front of the class, glancing back at her.
I went straight to her fathers office when I arrived, I knocked on his door "Come in" he called, my hands were marginally wet from sweat as I pulled the handle down my nervousness spiked as the door opened.
