Chereads / In love with a dragon / Chapter 5 - School

Chapter 5 - School

I woke up hoping it was all a bad dream but no. I opened my eyes and saw my surroundings. I was in Max's room. But he wasn't there I couldn't see him in the room. Then the bathroom door opened and Max had wet hair. "Morning" he says to me. He had a towel wrapped around his waist and he opened the wardrobe to fetch out some clothes. He threw a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on the floor. "So how are you feeling about school today?"

"Oh umm I hadn't really thought about it I mean I only did just wake up" I say. He turns and looks at me confused. Then a massive smile appears on his face and he laughed. I loved listening to his laugh it made me feel warm inside. He grabs the clothes and walks into the bathroom. I hop out of the bed and grabbed my shoes. Max then came out of the bathroom and saw me shoving my shoes on.

"Don't you want a change in clothes?" He asks me.

"Yes that's what I'm going to get" I say.

"No need to go and get it I will have someone bring you clothes to the room"

"But it's at my house?" I ask.

"Nah just use the clothes you get for the job" he says. Then there was a knock on the door. Max answered it and there was a girl stood there with clothes. "I didn't even ask for clothes?" He says to the lady.

"Karen told us to bring it up for a girl named Charlotte so here..." she says shoving it in Max's hands. He looks confused but just shuts the door in her face.

"Here some clothes" he says throwing them at me. I grab them and go in the bathroom. Whilst I'm getting changed I could hear Max singing in the bedroom. He wasn't that bad but he wasn't that good either. It made me laugh and then I slipped on a puddle on the floor.

"OW!" I shout in pain. Max comes in the bathroom to find me laying on the floor. I was lucky that I was completely covered but it was a close call.

"Omg are you ok want me to help you up?" He said in a panick. I went to stand up but I fell back. Max picked me up and sat me on the toilet seat.

"Umm how am I meant to get changed now?" I ask. Max turns bright red and then walks out the room. He comes back in the bathroom with his cousin Melody and he then leaves. She helps me put my t-shirt on. "Thanks Melody" I say.

"No problem and I'm not surprised you slipped Max never cleans the floor after a shower" she laughs. I was surprised but then again he is a dragon. Melody helped me up and walked me out the bathroom to find Max sitting on the bed waiting. "She can't walk properly so your going to have to help her..."

"Ok" Max said walking over to me. He picked me up as I wrapped my arms around him. Melody opened the door as Max walked me out. She closed the door behind her and went back to her room.

Max took me to the car and sat me in the passengers seat. "I can do the seat belt myself" I say taking it out of his hand. He looks shocked but then closes the door and goes to the driver side. He puts on his seat belt but then looks at me. I look at him and he looks scared. "You ok?" I ask. He doesn't answer me he just turns the key and drives away.

At school Max carried me to every class. I couldn't walk. It was science and we were sat on the same table. "Max?"

"Yes?" He says looking at me.

"What if my mum has told student at this school or someone reports back to my mum that I'm still alive?" I ask.

"Then me and you will have to go to the protection unit at the company" he says. He looks down and starts acting really scared when a teacher knocks on the door of the class. The teacher opens it and let's the other teacher in. He heads straight over to me.

"Hi Charlotte I'm Mr. Henry and I'm here to talk to you about your mum" he says to me. I shoot a look at Max as I see Max is looking at the front of the classroom but I can tell he is paying attention. "So your mum has told us you are dead and well your clearly not because your sat here. Is there something going on at home?" He asks me.

"Didn't you get a call?" I ask.

"Who would I get a call from?" He asks me. Max then moves up two seats so he is sat next to me. "Excuse me but I'm trying to have a private conversation" the teacher says.

"Yes I need to talk to you!" Max says.

"After this"

"It's about this" Max says. Then he hands the teacher a small card. "Call them and they will explain everything"

"And how do you know this?"

"Don't question just do..." Max says. The teacher looked confused but he then walked out the room and I could see him through the window calling the number on the card. After the call he walked back in the room and passed the card back to Max.

"Ok I understand the situation now I will have to warn you we have already told your mother" Mr. Henry says to me.

"Oh great just what I needed" Max says. He places his head in his hands when the teacher walks out. At the end of class Owen comes up to me and looks really confused.

"I thought you were..." she says before stopping and pointing at me.

"Listen it doesn't matter but my mum isn't allowed to know so if she asks I'm dead got it" I say. I felt bad making up lies and hiding things from my bestie. But it was what had to be done.

"Come let's hang out I mean it's lunch so you must be hungry" she says.

"Slight issue I can't walk" I say. She looks confused when Max then got out of his seat and picked me up. Owen was major confused and weirded out but she walked to our table. Max sat me down in a seat and then sat at the end of the table away from me and Owen. Brad then comes over and sits with us.

"So what's with the human body guard?" Owen asks me.

"He's not a body guard he's my freind" I say.

"Oh well he's always quiet in class so it wouldn't be a surprise to me if he had some secrets" she laughed. I mean she wasn't wrong he did have some secrets I mean he had a big one but so did I. We had powers and we couldn't tell anyone about it. I just awkwardly laughed because I knew she was right. My phone then started to ring. I took it out my pocket and it was my mum!

Why?

I gave my phone to Owen and she answered the phone. "Hey?" She said. "Oh yeah no she isn't alive the school gave me her phone and I know they called you saying she was they had misunderstood. I had told them that I will give it to her and they thought she was alive when I meant her as in you. I mean you would like her phone back wouldn't you?" She said somehow with a straight face. I saw Max in the corner of my eye watching this and he was paying very close attention to the conversation. "You wouldn't? OK I will keep it as a reminder of her. I miss her so much!" She said. Me and Brad started laughing when Owen looked at us trying to get us to stop. "Ok bye..." Owen said before hanging up. She gave me back the phone and laughed so much she was practically crying.

After school me and Max went back to the company. He took me to first aid because I was still struggling to walk. He sat me on the bed and the doctor then came in. "So what did you do?" She asked.

"I slipped in the bathroom over a puddle" I say. She starts writing down on a clip board and then starts feeling my ankle to see what was wrong.

"Oh ok so your ankle is dislocated!" She said. I start to panick when she pulls Max out the room and starts talking to him. When she walks back in Max wasn't with her. "So I'm going to give you pain killers then I'm going to pop your ankle back in place" she says. She hands me two plastic cups. One had a tablet in it and the other had water. I took the pain killer and she popped my ankle back in place. I screamed so loud because eventhough I had taken a tablet for the pain it hurt so much...

"CHARLOTTE!" Max shouts from outside. He bursts in the room and then the doctor tried pushing him out. "Don't push me out! Charlotte are you ok?" He was worrying about me. I felt bad that I had screamed because he was worrying but then when I saw him worry so much it made me cry. The doctor gave up and he ran to me hugging me so tight.

"She might have to stay in here for a night because she can't walk" the doctor said.

"I can carry her to our room" Max instantly said. The doctor didn't look to pleased but she let him.

"Here is pain killers if she needs them..." the doctor said giving him a box of pain killers. Max shoved them in his pocket and picked me up. I wrapped my arms around him as he took me to the room. He sat me on the bed and walked off to the bathroom. I sat myself under the sheets and grabbed the TV controller. I turned the TV on and put the music channel on...
