chapter one

Like every morning the girl was on her way to school, a happy smile on her face as she walked down the sidewalk. As she made her way through the school gates a sudden pain washed over her, making her stumble slightly. Confused, the girl quickly shook it off as nothing and made her way over to the same bench that she goes to every morning. The girls smile widened as she caught sight of her best friend already sitting on the bench waiting for her.

The pain hit her again, a bit harder this time. She quickened her pace, trying not to stumble again. "Mark?" The small girl stumbled once again as she got closer to her beloved best friend. The boy turned around quickly, eyes immediately landing on the staggering girl. He gasped lightly, shooting up to grab her as her body was dropping to the ground.

He quickly and gently sat her down on the bench that he had been sitting on before she arrived. "Are you okay? What's wrong? Does your head hurt? Are you sick? Do you have a fever?" The boy was spitting out questions faster than the girl could comprehend, only making her head hurt worse.

"Mark please stop talking." She mumbled quietly, holding onto his arm for support. The boy immediately went quiet waiting for the girl to speak again. "I feel lightheaded and nauseous." She spoke, squeezing her eyes shut.

"Okay. Sit right there and don't move. I'm going to get you some water." He didn't wait for a response as he made a beeline for the cafeteria. The girl could only sigh as the pounding in her head got louder, her body slumping back against the bench. Her body ached as if someone had taken a bat and beaten her with it.

The only thing running through the girls head at the moment was confusion. What was happening? This has never happened to me before? But before the girl could get anymore lost in her thoughts, the brown haired boy was seen sprinting in her direction, a cold water bottle in his hand.

"I'm back. Here, quickly drink some of this." The boy said, taking the lid off and handing it to the girl. Mark watched the girl anxiously as he took a seat next her, trying to figure out what could be causing her to suddenly act like this. "Jiah.. What's wrong?"

After finally getting most of her bearings back and getting her breathing under control, the girls eyebrows furrowed. She wasn't really sure what to tell Mark. What would he think if she just said she was all of a sudden in so much pain that she almost passed out. It didn't make any since at all to the girl.

"I- I don't know Mark." Her eyebrows furrowed once again, "It was just all of a sudden. So much pain that it was unbearable." At that Marks face contorted into confusion. "Pain? Where?" He asked, scanning her body for any signs of injury, but he couldn't find even a single scratch visible on the small girl.

"My entire back just felt like it was on fire.. almost as if- as if someone was really ripping it to shreds.." The more the girl thought, the more her head hurt. As Mark was opening his mouth to say something, he was cut off by the sound of the girl grunting in pain again. She was holding her head, eyes shut as tight as possible, and her face contorted in pain.

Mark didn't know what to do. He was close to panicking, but realized that, that wouldn't help either of them at all. So he quickly put on a brave face and pulled the girl close to his chest, running his fingers through her hair soothingly and whispering small assurances to the girl who was visibly shaking.

Mark was startled when the girl shot up straight and gasped. What the hell was happening? The boy thought, staring at his best friend in utter disbelief. "Jiah?" The boy hesitantly spoke after the girl just stared into the distance. "Mark.." The girl trailed off quietly. "Yes?"

"Who is Jeno?"
