Amara's pov
"So you and Benny." Scotty elbowed me as we ran around the track.
"Shut up." I playfully rolled my eyes as i pushed him to the other side, causing him to trip over his own 2 feet.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" i dropped down to his side as he groaned.
"I'm okay." He let out a heavy sigh as he accepted my offering hand.
I pulled him back up and examined his knees.
"You're bleeding." I could already feel myself getting lightheaded.
"No im n- GAH IM BLEEDING! Mar don't look!" His voice grew uneasy.
I waved for the P.E. teacher's attention and it took a while. "EXCUSE ME! SIR!"
I waved impatiently, until finally he looked our way.He jogged over to us with his stupid clipboard.
"What happened?"
"Im bleeding."
"Well i see that buddy." He patted his back.
"Ms Cohen, do me a favor and take him to the nurse? Maybe you should go too since you're looking a bit pale." He scribbled on a hall pass and handed it to me.
"Thank you." I smile as i walk away with Scotty.
I hated blood. Like looking at it makes me faint. I cant deal with this right now, not with my never ending headache.
"Stay strong, Scotty." My vision was becoming the same as a static television.
"Mar... are you okay?" I didn't even realize i was on the floor being dragged to the nurse by Scotty.

The point of this trip to the nurse was to help Scotty. But here I am laid out on the nurse's exam table.
"Hey are you okay?" Scotty questioned once he noticed I was awake. He was sitting in a chair by the exit.
"What happened?"
"You fainted cause you saw my blood."
"Oh nice." I look down at his knees covered in 2 extra large bandages.
"You feel okay? Cause your pale as shit." he looked through the hallway to see if the nurse was coming back yet.
"Where is the nurse anyways?" I massage my scalp with the ends of my fingers.
"She got a call from one of the teachers saying a girl tripped and hit her head on a desk."
"Thats so embarrassing." I let out a soft chuckle as a commotion came flooding in.
"Okay set her on the other exam table for me please." The nurse rushed in panicking as she looked through paperwork.
"I promise you guys im okay." Scotty and i heard a groan in pain as two figures entered the room.
"Amara?" Benny's eyes quickly averted towards me while simultaneously putting the unconscious girl on the other exam table.
"Hey." i rest all my weight on my elbows so i could sit up a bit.
"She looks... dead." Scotty reeked of anxiety as he stared at the girl sprawled all over the table.
"She's not dead Scotty." Benny let out a small chuckle as he smiled at the blonde boy.
"Sweetie what is your name?" The nurse asked the girl who was groaning in pain still.
"Florence. Florence Garcia."
"What are you guys doing here?" Benny walked towards me.
"Scotty fell during P.E. and his knees were bleeding and as we walked over here I fainted."
I could tell Benny was trying to hold in a laugh.
"Its not funny Benjamin." I playfully smack him.
"Im not laughing." he gently grabbed my arm from slapping him and somehow maneuvered his hand to intertwine with mine.
But once he realized what he was doing he pulled away quickly and mumbled an apology.
"Amara, sweetie are you feeling alright now?" The nurse questioned while dialing a number on the phone.
"Yeah I feel fine now." I respond.
"Then you are free to go. Just don't make fast movement."
