The Roses Within | AWESAMPONK | DISCONTIUED

Chapter 12 - Planning

I was sweating bullets all through Geometry. My leg was twitching and i could barely pay attention. What had just happened..? 

My ice pack got warm I raised my hand.

"Yes, Ponk?" She said.

"Can I go get a new ice pack? This one got warm." She nodded and gestured to get the hall pass before going. I got up and hung the hall pass around my neck then headed out. I padded down the stairs and went into the Health office. Guess who I see? Yeah. The jock. Of all days why NOW? he looked up and growled. 

"Ah hello Ponk! Do you need another ice pack?" I nodded, Scooting a bit closer outside. She typed some stuff into her computer before standing up and getting an ice pack in the room to the left. 

"Your goons gave me a broken nose, Bruises, Black eye and a sprain in my wrist. Hope your happy with yourself." He sneered. A lump was beginning to form in my throat and I tried to swallow it away.

"Their not my goons." I replied nervously.

"Sure they are." He rolled his eyes and glared daggers at me. The nurse came back with the ice back wrapped in a paper towel and handed it to me.

"Go on now! Get back to class!" She shooed me out. I walked faster then necessary to class, Looking behind my shoulder a few times. I hung my hall pass back up on the hook and sat back at my desk. 

[END OF CLASS]

I gathered my stuff with one hand and hurried out to STEM. I kept my head down and took sharp turns to get to class. I arrived and put my stuff down with a sigh of relief.

"Woah- What happened to YOU?" Ethan looked up from under the table.

"Some stinky bozo punched me when I spilled apple juice all over them on accident..." I mumbled.

"Oh no! Who was the- 'Stinky bozo?'" Isabella came in and sat down.

"I don't know. Not that I care..." I shrugged. Sam entered the room. Set his stuff down beside me and turned to me.

"Are you doing okay?" He asked, Gently grabbing my shoulders and examining me. I nodded. He still looked worried but his features softened.

"HEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tubbo called, Popping up from behind Sam. He let go and patted Tubbo. My insides were at war. I turned around to tell Isabella to get the glue and found her smirking. She sauntered away before I could say anything.

"Wait- What if we sold toothpicks to other people for more money? Like- To buy glue?" I blurted. Ethan turned to me.

"That could work! Good thinking Ponk!" He grinned and turned to the table. I walked up and sat at my spot. We were almost done with the bridge and only needed a few more pieces. Then all we needed to do is strengthen the bridge.

I reached over to grab a toothpick and Tubbo stopped me.

"Shouldn't you be focusing on healing?" He asked.

"I feel fine. Ill manage." I shrugged. We worked on the project and put half of the bridge together before we began to clean up. I mostly stood around and didn't do much. I helped clean up whenever I could and made as many suggestions as my brain could come up with. 

I was grabbing my binder to go home when I felt  hand on my shoulder.

"You doing well?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, I'm actually doing better then I thought. At one point my eye swelled up so much that I couldn't open my eye. I can open them now." I took off my icepack to show Sam.

"How does it look?" I asked.

"Its mostly gone now." He replied.

"Okay then! I should head home- See you at 6 for our sleepover!" I walked out the door without much else. I hopped into my car and went to the store to get some snacks. A box of variety of chips and a bag of popcorn and some soda. That should be enough. I walked up to the checkout to pay for my stuff. Once I was out, I rushed home and opened the door with my groceries.
