I Need More Time

Chapter 4

I turn around quickly to be met with Driss and his tall looming figure.

"I'm talking to you shorty"

I snap my attention up to his face and glare at him.

"What is it?" I ask crossing my arms.

"I just wanted to know how you are doing from what happened a week ago, you havent been here."

"I'm fine Driss just low blood sugar," I say still glaring at him.

He sighs and says, " I'm not trying to harass you, no need for the attitude".

"I don't have attitude and you don't know me so why do you care? I mean you walked out of my hospital room without even saying anything."

"You don't need to know me, and I won't ask you anything again."

Driss steps to the side of me and heads down the hall.

Later at lunch I sit down next to Mya.

"LOLA YOUR HERE!" She screams while hugging me tight.

The whole lunchroom turns to the sound of her screaming. I quickly hide my face away from everyone.

"Mya shhh everyone is looking,"

Mya stops hugging me and smiles wide. She's then pushes her lunch towards me.

"Lola eat I know your hungry"

"I have my own lunch Mya I -", I get cut off with her putting her finger to my lips. I laugh and just take the apple sauce off her plate.

Mya then taps my shoulder and whispers,"I think the new kid is staring at you."

I turn my head slightly to see Driss staring at me across the room, elbows on the table holding a crumpled napkin. I snap my head back to Mya and sigh.

"His name is Driss. He has been flirting with me, but then he will just be mean out of nowhere. I can't figure him out," I said shrugging.

"Well girl he is fine you better grab him up before someone else does," Mya says shaking my shoulder.

As soon as she shakes my shoulder I start to feel pain in my head again and a ball in my throat like I can't speak. The world is spinning and I can't see either now. I feel myself being picked up and carried right as I was about to fall back. I try and look up to see who it is.

"I got you," I hear from the gruff voice that I know.

"Driss help... I don't... feel good.." I said faintly.

Next thing I know I'm welcomed with the black darkness again.
