The Panic of Fear (Book One of The Fearful Trilogy)

Chapter Seventeen

I can't tell if my eyes are open or closed. It's so dark. All of a sudden the Smile thing is above me. I scream and try to hit it but it's not there anymore. I'm still holding the dead Floofic. My legs get a hard jerk and I lose my grip on her.
I try to grab her but since I can't see her I fail. I can't grab onto anything because I'm on my back. I feel my legs being lifted up and soon I'm hanging upside down.

I walk through the halls of my school using the crutches provided by the hospital. Everyone is avoiding me even though I could use some help with putting my books in my locker.
I start trying to take my backpack off when someone steps into my view. He has brown hair,green eyes,and freckles across his nose.
"Need help?" He asks. I nod my head and he helps me with my backpack. After we put the books I don't need into my locker he helps me with carrying the others.
"I don't think we've meet. My name is Jordan." He says. "Mine's Alex." We continue walking and head to class.

I'm snapped out of my memory when I see a glow. It looks like a glowing halo. Great. I'm about to die. All of a sudden it grows and starts spinning an axis. Then another one joins it on a different axis. And another halo glow.
A total of five are spinning around something. Then the spinning gets quicker. Soon it's spinning so quick it looks like an orb of light. The glowing grows brighter and brighter.
Suddenly the room is bathed in light, I hear a demonic scream and get dropped on the floor.

Me and Jordan are walking to class. As we walk I hear some whispers behind us. "Look. He's making friends with the new kid. I hear something happened to his last friend." Someone else joins in. "I hear the new guy got kicked out of his old school." I look at Jordan and see he has a look on his face. "Hey." He looks at me. "Don't pay attention to them. They just want to cause drama." Jordan smiles and we continue walking. We're almost at the classroom when my one crutch hits some water that was carelessly spilt.
I hit the floor of the hallway my head banging against it. I lay there dazed as Jordan asks me something. I try to shake my head but it hurts. I feel someone pick me up. I don't know who picked me up but my head hurts.
At some point we reach the nurses office and she checks to make sure I don't need to go to the hospital. "He's fine." She says. "Are you sure he hit his head really hard." Says Jordan. "He's fine." I look at Jordan and shrug. He helps me get up and we start walking out of her office.
