Maintain Your Balance

Ch-3 Pt.3

KATIA

"KATIA? KATIA?!" I heard someone scream in the distance.

With a loud groan I tried to sit up, but failed miserably seeing as it felt like my body was superglued to whatever surface I'm laying on. It was soft and almost... moist. Like dirt.

Well.

Shit.

Where the hell am I?

For some reason as I lay on the unidentified ground substance I felt the weirdest pain in my head that I have never felt before, and to be honest, I didn't think I liked it.

I'm not really sure about what had just occurred, but I just had a really bad feeling in my gut, and that's never a good sign.

Wait... was I drunk?

Is this what being drunk feels like?

DID SEXY LOCKWOOD BOY GET ME DRUNK?

Well if it was going to be someone he isn't exactly a bad option...

No, stop it Katia. Your thoughts need to get a room.

I lay motionless, sprawled out on my back on the ground of what I am now almost positive is the ground of the woods near the school.

How did I get in the freaking woods?

I could hear a faint noise coming from literally everywhere and it's not making any sense to me. I mean how can you hear something from everywhere? I could feel my head spinning as I opened my large blue eyes to see tall trees shading me, further proving my point that I am indeed in the woods, but still leaving me curious on how I ended up here.

As the noise grew closer and closer and I realized that it was Carter shouting my name.

Well shit.

If I feel this terrible I figured I probably looked just as awful if not worse..

CARTER CANNOT SEE ME WITH TWIGS IN MY HAIR AND MUD ON MY CLOTHES AND-

Well too late.

Suddenly it was like the weight on my body lifted and I raised my head from the ground, squinting at a beautiful, shining face who seemed concerned, and yet relieved at the same time.

Good God he is flawless.

I wonder if he wakes up like that...

"Well..." he sighed staring at me with a smirk as I dusted the leaves that were clinging to my outfit off as fast as possible. "Here we are Katia, in the middle of the woods. Congratulations, you're definitely getting a hang of the ditching. It only took about an hour to find you."

He stretched out his insanely toned arm for me to grab onto as he easily lifted me off the ground. And I know I probably should've looked at his face but all I could look at were his arm veins.

Like holy cow...

Wait... is that bad?

It's pretty bad.

Probably not that bad.

But then again it's sorta his fault for being so godlike, it's distracting from the situation at hand. Speaking of-

"What on earth happened?" I finally managed to spit out before an eruption of words began to explode out of my mouth "Why are we in the woods? Am I drunk? I SHOULD BE IN PHYSICS!" I could feel myself beginning to hyperventilate before he laid his toned hands on my arms to snap me back to reality. "All I remember last is that I was apparently leaving the school to apparently have a wonderful ditching day with you, Mr. Lockwood. And that we apparently went and got some hot cocoa, apparently strolled around the edge of the woods, and may or may not have talked about... God knows what! Oh crap, did I tell you anything about 4th grade? Fourth grade was just a bad year for me, with the bob cut and straight bangs, and the tomboy clothes and well, that's beside the point, and- "
