My antidote <3

Chapter 2 - Help

- Mia's POV -

As Harper walked away to the centre of the section seven's playing field with the other person with bright blue hair and tan skin that contrasted well against Harpers deathly white skin, I felt a twang of jealousy, wishing that I was still friends with Harper.

I heaved my body off the ground, gripping my head where the ball hit me. I groan as I make my way over to the spot where Harper and her blue raspberry haired friend were on the field. I jogged nervously up to them and as Harper was going to kick the ball, I stood in between her and the ball and waved awkwardly.

"Oh you're still here. What is it now nerd?" Harper asked rather ironically, with her being the one who skipped multiple grades. "Well umm I need your help" I stated with a little more confidence but I immediately shrank back into my shoes as Harper's eyes started glowing a bright white. Oh boy, I thought but Harper just shook her head and her eyes just returned to normal as she firmly said "No".

"But what if I-" I start to say but she cuts me off. "No" she repeats "Unless someone is dying then I don't give a shit, now get out of my sight ponytail" she said, commenting on my slicked back long brunette hair. "Umm" I chuckled nervously at her comment that was clearly meant as a joke.

The arms that were once crossed across Harper's chest fell limply to her sides as her mouth went slack once she realised what I'd ment. She retrieved her usual collected look and she started to say "Well I'm still-" until she was hit lightly on the arm and the person next to her cut her off saying "We'd love to help."

A slight smile crossed my face as I said "Great." "Who are you again?" "Sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Max" They say so as not to be a complete stranger to me. "Cool, I'm Mia, I was a friend of Harper's when we were kids" I reply with a smile."Ugh whatever, who's dying anyways dumbass!" Harper put in clearly getting impatient with our introductions.

"You know, this might sound crazy but..." I start to say, stopping at mid sentence because I don't exactly know how to explain it to her. "Well... ummm" I stammer. "It's...."
