"What happened".A nurse came running from the counter
"Uh..she got hit by a ball".He explained simply.Leyla was still holding her nose,she didn't bother to check if it was bleeding or not.
"This way dear".The nurse ushered her to the first ward,the other three looked like they were occupied
"is it bad".she said as she peeled her hands off her nose
"Not at all,just a scratch".The nurse said grabbing cotton wool and antiseptic
"Wait".she said stopping the nurse before she dabbed the cotton on her nose
"Am I bleeding?".she asked,it seemed she wasn't.
"No,like I said just a little scratch.You probably wouldn't need a bandage ".The nurse said as she dabbed the cold liquid on Leyla's nose
"All done".The nurse said
"Thank you".Leyla replied, getting up from the bed.It would have been another issue if she actually sustained an injury
"How did it go".Maximus rushed towards her
"Nothing,it's all good".she assured him
"Can I see it?". Maximus asked coming even closer.His face was a few inches from hers and she was fighting the temptation to lean in and see what happens
It was like he didn't know the effect of what he was doing, Leyla's heart was in total chaos.Their foreheads were touching and he continued to lean in but turned away at the last second
"still red but looks okay".He said, heading towards the door.Leyla still stood there stunned
"what just happened?".she asked herself,her mind was racing and her body didn't make it feel any better,her heart was still racing and like a thousand butterflies were fluttering in her stomach
"come on,let's go". Maximus called out from the door
"Oh yes".Leyla said walking towards him.on their walk back to class,she thought of what happened.If she leaned in by just an inch,their lips would have touched
"Hey,are you ok?Your face is red again".Maximus asked, stopping to take a look at her face
"Yes no worries".she replied.Damn her pale white skin
They got to class right when the bell went off and took their seats
Leyla's mind was still thinking of what happened.No matter what she did,she couldn't seem to forget it.Looks like she'd have trouble sleeping tonight
Before she knew it,the rest of the classes passed by In a blur and the closing bell went off
Leyla would want nothing more than to go home and have a very cold shower but she had a meeting.The girls meeting,that's what Brii calls it so the rest just started calling it that too
"Hey,Aren't you going home?".Maximus asked,putting his books into his bag
"I'm afraid not,I have a meeting to attend to".Leyla replied without thinking
If he presses on I might not have the strength to resist '.She thought to herself
"ok,well see you tomorrow ". Maximus waved as he left the classroom
