"Then I'd go with Ese—"
"Allow me to accompany him, Ms. Cristina."
"O-Okay, if you insist."
I would have called Ira cool at this moment if I was not feeling unwell. He wrapped my arm around his shoulder and helped me stand while Ms. Cristina got out of the way.
'Ugh! Everyone is looking at me again.'
Just as we walked down the aisle, one bitter memory flashed in my mind, reminding me of the painful highschools days I had from Ryan's hands and the people around him.
'I hate this feeling! I hate it!'
Ira thought that I was in a lot of pain at the moment, for I made such horrible facial expressions like I was writhing in agony. He carefully picked up the pace, and we left the classroom together.
The infirmary or nurse room was located at the far north of the man-made island, near the principal's office.
Ira knocked before we went in, and we saw two nursing students wearing
their uniforms, casually talking to each other.
"I think my friend here is sick. Can you please check up on him?"
One nurse stood up to assist me to the bed while the other get something on the shelf, but I wasn't even able to reach the bed, for I collapsed before I did.
"Clause!"
***
I woke up to this soft sensation and cute muffling voice of someone as I continued pressing on the soft sensation on my hand.
"Y-Yamete!"
I completely freaked out when I saw that I was fucking fondling Ira's chest or lump of meat!
"What the—?! Did you just?"
"Ahn, you were not so gentle, Clause, I almost let out a wild moan."
"Stop talking!"
I would be honest. I actually thought it was one of the nurses one of them fell asleep at the bedside, and my hand happened to stumble upon a lump of meat. But it turns out I was caressing Ira's breast!
"My hand is wet! Oh, gross! Smells like sweat!"
"Don't sweat it then! You're hurting my feelings, Clause."
I totally forgot that I was not feeling well. The consequence was that my head suddenly ached. Well, I immediately clutched my head, and Ira stopped with his little act.
"Oi, don't overdo it. Here, the two beautiful nurses said to take this."
Ira handed over a pill, a medicine for headache and chest pain, and a glass of water.
I rested my back on the headrest and took the pill before asking Ira what the nurses said.
"They said you're just low on blood. That is why you suddenly passed out."
"Then what about the chest pain? I don't think being low on blood causes chest pain, like a tightening feeling."
Ira just shrugs his shoulder, "No idea. Oh, I know you might be growing your che—"
I stuffed Ira's face with the pillow before he could even finish his stupid ass words.
The two nurses caught Ira had his arms around my neck, locked and roughly rubbing the tip of his folded fingers.
"Uh, I don't think you should be doing that to the sick."
As if embarrassment had stiffened Ira's whole body, like a robot, he slowly let go of my hand and shrank back to his seat without saying a word.
"Have you taken the medicine we gave you?" asked the lively nursing student.
They looked neat in their white uniform, their hair tied properly in a bun, and no wrinkles could be seen in their uniforms, which one could criticize. The two nurses just look angelic to Ira and me. Well, everyone that wears white looks neat and angelic. However, if you can't carry your style or clothes, others might not find you attractive. That right there is my opinion.
"How do you feel?"
When wearing their uniforms, I swear every female nursing student looks almost the same. I could barely differentiate the lively student from the slightly taller nursing student.
"I... feel perfectly fine, yeah."
It was weird because just a minute ago, my head was aching, and now it was gone. Was the medicine some kind of miracle pill that could cure all sicknesses?
"That's good to hear then."
Genuinely, the two of them smiled, even Ira smiled at them with such a gross expression for me. Is it just my imagination, or is Ira really grossly making faces? Nah, it must be my imagination.
I lost track of time, so I brought out my phone. It turns out it's already past 5 in the afternoon. I slept in for about two hours.
"We should probably head back, Ira," I said, quickly springing up my feet and picking up my bag. "Two hours is enough."
Not only did I become a hindrance to Ira's studies, but I also caused him to miss one subject. Well, he won't probably sweat it, but I still feel bad. He would just ask for more food if I ever said anything like pays back to him.
"Uh, right. Thanks for your help!"
I also thanked the two nursing students for giving me the pill and went on our way back to the classroom.
Walking back to our classroom in the late afternoon was quiet and peaceful. It felt like it was just Ira and me casually trotting on the polished floor in the hallway.
As soon as we were just a few meters away from our classroom, we heard a noise in our room, our classmates chitchatting with each other.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the fatty and twig."
What a beautiful welcome from one of our classmates. I knew that this particular group would is actually a bunch of bullies, bastards.
"Didn't he say he was feeling sick? But he doesn't seem that sick to me."
They block our way on the door, keeping us outside the classroom. There was only one door to the classroom with their numbers blocking off the door was just an easy thing to do.
"Ey, Clause, it looked like our professor isn't here yet. Let's go buy something to eat."
The truth is we just finished eating some snacks from the cafeteria. Ira and I even bought some nice cold drinks from one of the vending machines.
Ira said that to make an excuse because it was not me who could smell trouble from these guys.
"Where do you think you are going, stinky fatso?"
"Uh, the cafeteria...?"
