I hid under my blankets, cursing a lot of words under my breath. After 5 minutes, Riven went inside my room, a little furious.

"The hell was that?" I peaked a little in the corner of my blanket and I see a pissed Riven but with a playful smile plastered in his face. 

I pulled off all my blankets, my messy hair dangling in front of my face. I heaved a huge sigh and that caused a few strands of hair to fly. Yes, I am so humiliated right now.  I feel warmth going up my face and just couldn't help but feel super anxious.

"It was nothing!" I exclaimed.

A soft voice suddenly echoed from the door "Let's go." He said. I couldn't see his face because Riven's body was blocking my view from the door. 

"Did you get it?" Riven asked.

"Yeah. I'll wait outside" Then he left in a hurry. I tried to peak but all I saw was just a glance of his neck. Oddly, it looks quite familiar but I couldn't picture out who it was.

Riven pat me on my shoulder so hard it almost detached my shoulder blades. "We'll talk when we get back." He then left my room and slammed the door behind.

I shoved my blanket away and heaved a deep sigh again. I can't believe I just did that. But soon after they left, I tried to go back again. I entered his room, and now the backpack that was open on the bed before, was nowhere to be found. I slightly searched around the room for some possible clues, trying to avoid touching anything. As I wobbled around a few boxes on the floor, I spotted something glittering under the dim light. It was small box that had "Supplies" written poorly, taped on the side. I opened it slightly to see a red stethoscope. I've never seen a color like this before, so I guess it was customized  especially for him. I took out the stethoscope to see what else is inside, but all I saw was just a First-Aid kit and a couple of medicines. Huh, so I guess he's a doctor? Boring!

Not that I care at all, I was hoping it was someone from school. Clearly, it wasn't. I still wondered where Riven met this guy. It's also obviously a guy, based on the things he brought with him.

I went back to my room and started to pick an outfit that I should wear to school tomorrow and after a while, I heard footsteps again and Riven's ugly voice laughing then my bedroom door just suddenly opened. "Hey, Kiles!"

"The hell is your problem?!" I shouted while looking for my neon green cropped top.

"Didn't you say you needed some sort of medical certificate or some crap to go to school tomorrow?" he flopped onto my bed.

"Yeah, why?"

"I already have it and don't ask where I got it." he placed it on my bed then went outside.

I quickly opened it to see it was from a Doctor named "Marissa Watkins" and it was from Denver Hospital.  I quickly open my iPad to search for this Doctor, it turns out she is famous. She's also a surgeon, and has had over a hundred surgeries in just 10 years of being in the medical field. 

I smiled to myself because my brother finally found a purpose in life and that is to help his awesome sister who has a broken hand.
