Game Of Chess ICOMPLETED

CHAPTER 8: Pretend

I went out of my classroom but I didn't see him waiting for me. I checked my messages but he didn't text me so I went to the rooftop but still didn't see him. That's odd. Does that means there are no favors today . . .then I'll just use this time for my next plan.

I pretended as a passer-by in the hallway in front of the teacher's office just to see if Mrs. Hans is still in there. When I saw her go out in her office with a student I quickly kneel down and pretended to tie my shoes.

" Thank you, Mrs. Hans. You're really are the best teacher here in school. I was so nervous you'll not get my project since it's so late already "

The student said while smiling at Mrs. Hans.

" No need to joke me, Daisy. I'm just being considerate to my students but next time be on time okay?. "

" Yup but still Thank you. . . so I gotta go now. "

" Sure. "

" Thanks again. . . Bye! "

When the girl went out I stand up but pretended that I'm a bit dizzy and soon collapsed I tried my very best to make it all real so that it'll get her attention. I created a big sound when I collapsed but soon the pain is worth it because I got her attention.

"Oh my gahd! "

Mrs. Hans exclaimed as I heard her footsteps coming into me.

" Are you okay? . . . "

She asked as I felt that she carries me and walks into somewhere which I assume as the school clinic.

I felt I was being lay down in a bed as I heard someone come near me and touch my forehead.

" She doesn't have any fever but she looks pale. "

The nurse said. What?! I look pale? Anyways it's still a good excuse for me to keep my act.

" Don't worry Mrs. Hans. I'll take care of her. You can go now. "

" Oh thank you but can you inform me if she gets better? "

" I'll sure do. "

I still keep closing my eyes as the nurse fixes my blanket. A minute after Mrs. Hans went out I slowly opens my eyes and moaned a bit like I'm in pain to get the nurse's attention.

" Thank goodness you're awake. How are you feeling? "

She asked as she observes me.

" I felt sooo weak. . . "

I said in a tone as sickly as possible.

" Well did you skip your meals? Students faints a lot because of it."

She asked concerned.

" Uhm. . . yah? "

I just said still trying to act sick. The nurse just sighed and said.

" Lie down and wait till I get you some porridge to eat. "

She soon went out and leaves me. I just lie back again as she asked me to.

When I heard the door unlocked, I put back my sickly face. I slowly sit but to my surprise, it's not the nurse but it's Zach holding a porridge.

" I heard that your sick so I came by to check. "

He said with worried eyes as he sit on the chair beside my bed.

" Uhm yeah. . . "

I said in a weak tone still looking at him and wondering why he visits me.?.

" I heard you fainted because you didn't eat. . . I'll feed you if you can't. "

He suggested which made me shocked.

" No! . . . I mean I could still manage to feed myself. "

I said and quickly took the porridge from him.

" O-kay? "

He said as he sit still and watched me eat which really really made me uncomfortable.

" Ow!. So hot "

I exclaimed as the porridge burns my tongue.

" Hey be careful. "

He said as he stands up and started to blow the spoon of porridge I am currently holding. Gosh, what is this really strange ambiance surrounding us? It feels so weird. Has the temperature risen or is it just me?. Gash, I hate this. He watches me as I finishes the porridge and even went out to buy me drinks.

" If you came to say your favor. You could just say it. . . you don't need to pity me. "

I said as soon as he came back with my drinks. He just looked at me straight in the eyes.

" My favor is. . . make sure you don't skip meals starting to this day. "

He said which made me shocked and amused. How can he turn to be so much caring now?
