The Quiet Spring

Chapter Seven

(Hana's best friends: Kara= the green haired girl / Tora=The pink haired girl)

Corrina's POV

I walked down the hall after getting my books from my locker and was going home. I took a deep breath and sighed. I couldn't get Oliver's kind face out of my head. I didn't understand why though. As I was turning a corner two girls linked arms with me and smiled. "We've been waiting for you Corrina. You're such a slow walker." The girl from yesterday teased. She had her long blue hair in a different style today and her friend with long green hair was smirking at me. with dark blue(almost black) eyes. They lifted me off the ground easily and took me to the girls bathroom where a girl with long pink hair and sapphire blue eyes leaned against. "Bathroom clear?" The girl with blue hair asked. "Of course, Hana. But what will beating a girl up in a bathroom do any good? She's just going to walk out of school with scratches and bruises and that'll attract attention." The taller girl with pink hair asked, closing her eyes and stepping off the bathroom door.

"Shut up Tora! She'll learn not to get to attached to my Oliver- kun! Now if you'll excuse us..." The girl with blue hair, who I know knew was named Hana, told the girl and opened the door and threw me in. I hit the cold tiled floor with a hard thud and my head started spinning. "Watch the door." Hana told the two girls as the bathroom door closed and a soft clicking noise made my eyes widen. Why am I locked in here?! And with this Hana girl in the first place... Wait didn't the pink haired girl... I think it was Tora, say that Hana was going to beat me up?! What did I do to her?!

"Time for some payback." Hana snapped me out of my thoughts and sat up. Suddenly her fist collided with my stomach, knocking the wind out of me. Another furry of fists either hit my in the stomach or the cheek. Hana grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up to her height. I stared at her with wide, tear-filled eyes as she returned them with cold, icy, crystal blue ones. She swiftly lifter her leg and started kicking my side. My body swayed back and forth in her firm grasp. She looked so weak but was so strong! "I think I've made my point." Hana said and dropped me to the floor once again. I slumped and lay on the floor for a few minutes and heard a soft clicking sound as the door became unlocked and Hana's friends eyes me across her shoulder. "Let's go. I don't want to be around that bitch anymore than I have too."Hana said calmly and walked down the hall, friends following at her heels.

I winced and slowly tried to get off the floor. As I grasped onto the counter and finally pulled myself up, I looked at myself with wide eyes. I had a bruised cheek and quickly lifted up my shirt. I sucked in a breath of pain as I moved my muscles. I had bruises, scratches, and red marks all long my lower abdomen, sides, and back. I let my shirt go and slowly and painfully reached down for my bag. I slowly walked out of the bathroom, step by aching step. I somehow reached the front entrance of the school and walked onto the sidewalk. "Corrina?!" A worried voice called out to me. My vision had grown blurry but I looked up from the ground anyway. Oliver was running up to me with wide eyes. Just as he was about a foot away, I lost my balance and blacked out from pain.

Has he been waiting this whole time for me?
