My heart thumped. What was up with my life lately?
I thought to myself as I took a turn down the road. YH (York High) standing just a few feet away from me. My heart couldn't help but beat erratically. I didn't know what to expect when I arrived at school.
Would I be attacked by a horde of demons?
There was no way that they would attack during day time and around all these people right?
My brain was racing as a number of thoughts formulated in my head. I stood still like a statue. My feet reluctant to approach any further. After all this could end up becoming my death bed if I wasn't careful.
"Move out the way you moron!" I heard someone shout behind me followed by a loud consistent honking of a car horn…no wait it sounded different. Instinctively I turned around only to find a motorcycle speeding my way.
I barely had time to think much before it was only a few feet away from me.
Is my bad luck really that bad today?
I narrowed my eyes at the bike as it approached. Everything then seemed to flow in slow motion. I didn't get what was happening but that was of little concern to me at the moment. A familiar feeling enveloped my body as I smoothly moved to the side.
My movements slow and deliberate. The motorcycle skimmed past me and for a moment the rider and I locked gazes for a moment or rather I looked gazes with the shades of the helmet he wore.
Everything happened fast and without control as the bike lost balance. Screeching against the sidewalk as the rider fell off. The bike stopping about a meter or so away from him.
At that moment time seemed to resume its usual flow.
"Dammit" I could her the rider curse as they took off their helmet and tossed it the ground. Revealing flowing dark hair, symmetrical fairy like face with emerald green eyes. The skin tight biker suit that she wore was torn at the thigh which exposed some of her grazed skin.
At this moment I recognized the familiarity of her face as my mind drifted back to the few moment before I lost consciousness in someone else's arms.
Could she have been the one who caught me last night? Or was it all just a dream?
At this point the confusion was truly appalling. But I shoved that to the back of my head as I ran to her side. She looked hurt.
"Hey are you alright?" I said as I knelt down beside her.
"Do I look fine to you huh?" she responded as she grit her teeth. Her thigh was now visibly bleeding. She needed to be treated as quickly as possible.
"Let me help you"
"Don't you dare touch me" she hissed as she tried to get back up. She managed to stand but when she went to take a step, she winced and immediately lost her balance, falling forward.
Lucky for her I caught her in my embrace. Her ankle was broken.
"Let me help you" I offered once more.
"I already told y-kya!"
I didn't bother with hearing her snappy response as I lifted her into my arms. Carrying her in a princess carry. Her body felt light in my arms which honestly surprised me but I simply shrugged it off.
"Put me down this instant" she demanded.
"I'll set you down at the infirmary" I replied in a smug tone. Sometimes its better to apologize later than to ask permission.
I walked forward with fast strides.
"W-wait! What about my bike?" she ask with bright red cheeks. This was truly an embarrassing moment for her. She was really looking for any excuse to delay our departure, even by a few moments.
But I could only smirk when I saw Jordan just a few meters infront of us.
Noticing my smirk, she looked forward as well her expression on becoming more embarrassed.
"Yo Jordan!"
Jordan looked at me for a moment before his eyes widened in shock
"Holy shit!" he cussed. He was probably shocked by the fact that I was carrying a beauty in my arms rather than the current state of her body. "Since when have you been getting the badies!"
"Since my date with Charlotte almost got me killed!" I blurted out. The girl in my arms had her eyes widened. This confirmed that she did know something about this.
Meanwhile Jordan only gave me a confused. "Who's Charlotte?"
My heart trembled. How could his friend not know Charlotte? Was he perhaps thinking of another one?
"Charlotte the cheerleader?" I elaborated
I received a blank stare.
"Top ten beauties of the school?" I went a step further.
" *sigh* Look man I don't know who your talking about there's no one called Charlotte in the cheerleading team bro"
His words shocked me to the core. What was going on?
