"Chanel, I am going to leave. Take care and do well on your studies! Don't forget about the dinner later!"
It's already 7am in the morning. My class starts at 8am.
"Okay Mom, take care! I'll text you when I get home." I replied.
I heard my mom leaving as she closed the gates. I am still laying in my bed because I am still very tired. I cannot sleep for I kept thinking about what Lucas has said.
"I am your boyfriend after all" it gives me chills when I recall what he said. Is he really serious about that or he just wants to annoy the hell out of me?
I shrugged my thoughts off and started to prepare to go to school.
It is currently 7:45 am. I left the house as I started walking to school.
Greenfield Senior High School is only a 5 minute walk from our house.
I am currently a Grade 11 student and my strand is Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). I am planning to pursue a degree in Medical Sciences specifically Occupational Therapist.
"Hey Chanel! Why didn't you wait for me?!" Danna shouted.
Danna Victoria is my best friend. She has been my best friend since middle school. She has defended me when I was being bullied back then.
She is quite popular because she is a dancer in our school. She has a tanned skin, her height is the same as mine which is 5'6ft. She is beautiful and she has a lot of suitors.
"Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry but I am really not myself today." I apologized.
"Why? Is something bothering you?" Danna asked as she stopped from walking.
"Well. Ahm... Lucas just--"
"What did he do this time? I told you, stop cleaning his mess." she cutted me off. I pulled her and we started walking again.
"I am not cleaning his mess. His just teasing me and it's irritating."
"Then switch seats with me." she offered.
That is really a good offer though everyone will gossip about us and they might think that we fought.
"Nah. I'll just endure it. Thanks for the offer though." I laughed.
Danna stopped me from walking. I looked at her and she signaled that Lucas is in front of us.
"Speaking of the devil." she whispered while pointing at Lucas.
"What a great way to ruin my day." I accidently said loudly. Lucas looked at us as he threw us a smirk.
He stopped walking while waiting for us to catch up. I can see the smirk on this jerks face. He really wants to make my life miserable.
"This jerk." I whispered. Danna looked at me while she is laughing.
"You cannot catch a break don't you?" she replied.
"What's with your face?" Lucas asked me. I really want to punch him. He was the reason why I can't sleep properly and he has the audacity to ask.
"Why do you care?" I irritatingly replied as I walked pass him.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me from being bump by a car. We both fell to the ground.
"Are you guys okay? That lousy driver!" I can see how Danna is worried.
"I am okay. I didn't notice that the car was about to hit me." I really did not notice that car. Maybe I was too preoccupied.
"If it weren't for me you might have been in a serious accident." Lucas said while he was standing.
"Yeah, Thank yo-" I was about to stand but my right foot hurts that I cannot manage to stand.
"Are you hurt?" Danna and Lucas asked. Lucas kneeled and he removed my shoes and sock to see if I have a fracture or sprain.
"I'm fine. Help me to stand, please" I asked while my right foot ached. This is so embarrassing.
"Does she have a fracture? We need to report that driver I manage to looked at the cars' plate number." Danna asked. She was about to dial and file a complaint.
"Don't bother. This is just a sprain, let's go and let this slide for once." I don't want to make a scene and it's already 7:55am we need to hurry so that we can get to school on time.
Lucas helped me to stand. "Next time be careful. You are dragging mo to my death."
"This is absolutely your fault." I whispered.
"What? Stop whispering and put your right arm on my shoulder. You obviously can't walk in that situation." He said in an angry tone.
"Danna, go ahead and tell the professor that we are going to the clinic and I'll try to catch up with the lecture." Lucas instructed.
"Okay. Take care. I'll go ahead!" she waved goodbye and left.
I remained silent because I can sense that he is kinda irritated. The school is not that far and we eventually made it to school.
Lucas assisted me to the clinic. "Good morning nurse, she sprained her ankle and she cannot walk because of the extreme pain. Can you help us?" he asked politely. When did he learn to talk like that? He is not that polite when he is talking to me.
"Sure. Come in." she said while she gets the materials to treat me.
"What happened? Did you guys had an argument that led to this situation?" the nurse asked as she look at us.
"No. We are not a couple." I immidiately replied.
"She was about to get hit by a car and I pulled her and one led to another." He said as he watched me get treated.
"Next time be careful. You are lucky that your friend rescued you." the nurse said while she is putting a bandage around my ankle.
I did not know what to say so I just kept my mouth shut.
"Go ahead and attend the class. Thanks for bringing me here. I can manage to walk by myself." I said while I am waiting for the nurse's instruction.
"I'll go with you. If your mom knew that I left you here by yourself she will be worried." he said while looking at the window.
"What? Did you tell my mom what happened?"
I forgot that he and my mom are close since his mom and my mom are friends.
"Yeah. I feel obligated to contact her." he turned his gaze upon me.
I looked away and faced the nurse. "Can I go now?"
"Sure. You still need to conduct an X-ray test. I am advising you to go after school. Other than that you can go now. The nurse said.
"Thank you nurse!" I was about to stand up but Lucas assisted me.
"You don't have to." My heart skipped a beat. What the heck is wrong with me?
"Yes I have. You're not okay stop acting like you don't need my help" He said in his cold voice.
"Do what you want. You never listen anyway." why does he need to be mad? His crazy.
Our room is located at the 4th floor and we are currently at the second floor. He helped me climb the stairs and I will be honest that it is not easy since it freakin' hurt.
We eventually made it to our classroom. The first class has ended and we weren't able to attend nor catch up with the lecture.
"I told the teacher about what happened and he was okay with you guys not attending the class. Though there is a pair presentation for next next week and he suggest that the two of you will be the first pair." Danna said.
Oh boy, why is this happening to me? Can this day get any better?!
"That's fine with me." Lucas said and he went to his seat.
"Not fine with me" I rolled my eyes and seated beside Danna.
I suffered enough on middle school what did I do to deserve this curse?
"You look cute together. I think you guys are going to end up in a real relationship." she pused me lightly.
"Over my dead body. Stop saying that it creeps me out." I was disgusted by what she was thinking. It never crossed my mind not even once.
"You might eat your words, Channel" she winked.
I looked at her and acted like I did not hear what she said.
"Good morning class. You have a new classmate please be good to her. She is from the Accountancy Businesses and Management strand but she changed her mind and she wanted to shift to STEM." the teacher said and she gestured oir new classmate to enter the classroom and introduce herself.
I was busy looking at my notes. I faced whoever is going to be our new classmate.
She entered the room and my body went stiff.
"Hi I'm Jaxine, Jaxine Vilar."
No!!!!!!! Tell me I am dreaming. This cannot be happening!
