I was a bit late for school but I made it on time before the lecturer reached class. My head still ached really bad, maybe because I fell head first. It hurt so bad, I prayed to be able to remove it and set it aside. I thought why not close my eyes because Everytime I shut it the pain subsides. Luckily I was at the back, so I wouldn't be easily noticed by the lecturer, i didn't know when I slept through the whole lecture.
It turns out it wasn't the whole lecture but the whole day as well, No one was left in the lecture hall. Can you imagine, no one bothered to wake me up, I thought surprised. Everywhere was turning dark, "Oh no! Dean must be waiting for me", I say looking into my phone seeing 6 missed calls. Shoot! It's already 7. I hurried out of the class, running towards the buildings exit. I reached the doors, but it was locked. "The hell!", I said pulling and pushing on the doors. "You got to be kidding me".
"Hello?! Is anyone there?",I call out but no one answers. I'll call Dean, I thought pulling out my phone from my pocket but no signal and my phone was running low.
"How did I get myself into this mess?" I ask myself shaking my phone in the air hoping to get a bar. "Come on. come on".
I walked around, and into all the class rooms surprisingly they weren't locked. But no signal, I climbed till I reached my lecture room but no bar.
"I don't get, but they were bars this morning" I say still searching for signals. I looked through the window, seeing the sky beginning to darken. "Rain seriously?! You got to be kidding me" I cry out. I stood on the lecture table hoping to find signal, and I was able to get. "Yes!", I say dialing Dean's number.
It rang, but he didn't picking. "Come on, not after struggling to find signal", I say dialing him again. This Time he picked.
A - Hello?
D - Where the hell are you Audrey?! I've been here waiting for you to show up, its dark and also about to rain!.
A - I'm locked in school and no one's around.
D - How did that happen?
A - Long story, just come and help me. Please.
D - Fine, I'm coming.
He replied ending the call.
I was about climbing down, when the loud sound of thunder frightened me "eeeee", I shreik falling off. I landed on my leg, The table was high so the impact of my ankle with the floor was rough. "Aaaaah!" I scream because the sudden gosh of pain was terrible. Like Lord have mercy, I didn't know if I sprained the leg or broke my ankle, but lord the pain was unbearable. I used the little strength I had to pull myself up, I checked my phone, the signal was gone again. you got to be kidding me, I whined. I limped towards the lecturer room door, what I really cried about was how I'd get down this many stairs. After a while of struggle I was able to climb down, I crawled all the way to the buildings exit because I had exhausted my legs. I sat infront of the exit doors waiting for Dean to come, the doors were glass and see through. I waited for a while, finally I saw him riding his bicycle. How was he able to see?, I asked my self
"Dean!" I call out with joy. "Took you long enough". "It started raining heavily and I'm not a witch that can see through rain, it's luck I had an umbrella in my bag" he says getting down from the bicycle. "why are you sitting on the floor?",he asks scrutinizing my appearance and sitting position. "Sprained my ankle really badly, I can't walk or stand" I say pointing to the injured ankle that had changed in colour, I must have over worked it, I thought. "Wow" he says squatting and looking at the lock on the door, he dug into his bag, brings out something then picked the lock. What is he doing?, I ask myself. The rain increased, and the wind was so thick and heavy.
"There… A bit rusty but I still got it", he says proudly opening the door. My mouth was left in 'O'. "So your a burglar?", I ask, rusty in what way?, I ask myself. "burglar? No. I had bad peers and influence back then, but now I'm a clean man", he says squatting to my level. "Never thought you could be any shorter" he smiles playfully pinching my nose. How dare he, I thought. I wanted to bite his hand, but he pulled out on time. Without warning he picked me up, my heart skipped a bit, I could feel my face burn up. "Dayum girl you weigh a pig", he says looking down at me, I burned even hotter. "Such a rude to tell a lady", I pouted, did I weigh that much?, I ask myself. He laughes, it was so close to my ear I felt it in my bones. Audrey what's wrong with you? Ew no, I scolded my self covering my face. "Where are we going, before my hands falls off", he says lifting me up properly."We won't be able to leave right now, the rain is too heavy. And with that injured leg of yours I doubt you'd be able to paddle, so I'd have to carry you with me".
"To the nearest lecture room I guess", I say looking left and right. He says I'm too heavy to carry, so carrying me to my class upstairs would be hectic, so maybe to one of the lecture rooms around here, I thought. I direct him to the nearest class room, luckily it was open. He places me on one of the chairs then went on his knees, "Let me have a look at that". He picks my injured foot up examining it,"I see". "What do you- Ahhh!", I screamed because he pulled on it so hard I heard a crack sound. "There", he says standing up. "Wh-h-hy!", I cry, the pain felt terrible I could scream at the top of my lungs. Look at me here trying to manage the pain of before and he just added more. "Your leg twisted, so I straightened it out. Your welcome", he says with a smile. If it wasn't because I couldn't walk or afford to move my leg again, I'd have strangled him. "Welcome?! You couldn't have given me a heads up? You monster", I cry bitterly, just to adjust my body position felt like hell."Sorry", he says walking to one of the windows, "I guess we'll be here for quite while".
"I don't want to stay here with you" I say drying my eyes sniffling, cause why!. "Your welcome to leave", he says gesturing to the exit laughing. "Stuck alone in the classroom with a monster" I scoff pouting my lips "monster?" he laughed. I just looked away, with great difficulty I adjusted my position to the right. Its a long sitter chair, large amount of people can seat on it. "Yes a monster!", I say adjusting back wards to make both my legs rest on the chair. "I haven't done anything", he says walking towards me. "Please don't touch my foot", I beg, because I couldn't move my leg and he kept walking towards me. Should have just kept quiet, I cried in my mind.
He came closer to the desk, placing one hand on the desk and the other on the seat, "oh… they are different kind of monsters, which am i?", He says leaning towards me. Out of fear and lack of breathe, I lean backwards, but he kept leaning closer. "I take back words. I'm sorry!", I say looking the other way cause if i look forward our nose would touch. What does he plan on doing to me, I asked myself my mind in different places. He immediately stands up and walks away,"apology accepted". Argh!!!!, I yell inwardly.
