The days passed like a wind. Me and Theo become closer. Teasing each other are still there. Things went smooth and I am still on training.
Today, I don't feel like myself. My abdomen is having cramps. Right now. I look so pale even with my tints on my lips and cheek. This is always the scenario when I am on my first day period. I'm walking towards my room for my second subject.
From Theo:
Your ditch the first class? Where are you?
Me:
Walking. Almost at the stairs.
When i reach the top, ready ro head to my room. I got a message from him.
Theo:
Are you okay? You look like a zombie.
After reading it, I look in his room ans glare at him. The nerve of this guy!
Time for lunch and I don't have the appetite. Inilagay ko nalang ulo ko sa armchair. I'm sweating a lot and I'm fighting to stay awake. My hands are starting to be cold. I feel a hand on my shoulder and the room with lots of screaming become so quiet.
"Are you okay?" He squatted so he can be level to me. I just nod my head. I shouldn't gone to school today. He slowly lift my head and he's stun for a bit.
"What's wrong? Tell me what I can do to help?" His fave is so calm yet his voice betrayed him.
"Can you look at my bag? See if there's a small pill in a silver foil." I do not know if he was able to hear it but my voice is so weak. I'm really fighting to stay awake.
He ransack my bag. Panic is evident on his face. Later on, he found it. He rip the packaging and handed it too me. He lift my head and use his left aem to support it. The back of my head is on his chest. I can feel his heart beat.
"I can carry you to the clinic," he said.
"No, let me just sleep it off," i sofly replied.
He sirs on the chair next to me. Put his bag on the arm rest so I can make it a pillow. He's caressing my hair softly that made me so sleepy.
"Please don't leave me" is what I said before darkness embraces me.
HIS POV
I am trying to concentrate on the teacher in front. But my mind is still on Maria Josefa. First subject is almost done and I haven't seen her passed by. Maybe she cur class today. I just shrugged it off.
Time for the second subject, can't take it anymore. I texted her.
Me:
You ditch the first class? Where are you?
Ave Maria Purisima:
Walking. Almost at the stairs.
I blew some air. I look outside waiting for her to pass by. My brows almost touched each other when I saw her. She look like she will pass out anytime. She glance at my way and glare at me before going to her room.
The entire time all I think is her. I am so worried. I can't even focus on the class. God! This is taking so long.
Right after the last class for today, since it's Friday, it is just half day. So most of the students went home already. Some might be drinking like we used to. Only the athletes stays for training.
I saw her on her chair. I ran to her right away. Her hands are so cold and she's sweating a lot. When I lift her head, I'm stunned! She's so white like paper. And it's evident she's fighting not to pass out.
I squatted so I can see her more clearly , "are you okay?" How dumb of me to to ask that when I know she isn't based on her looks right now. "What's wrong? Tell me what I can do to help?" I'm panicking right now but. I need to be strong. But i know she knows i am just putting an act.
"Can you look at my bag? See if there's a small pill in a silver foil." Her voice are so low and weak. Glad I squatted so I was able to hear her. I immediately look on her bag. There's a little pocket at the top with zipper. I'm taken a bit looking at it. I see an inhaler!! Anti- hestamine and then I found what i was looking for. Without any delays, i let her took it. I made my bag as her pillow and played with her hair. It's so soft.
"I can carry you to the clinic," i suggested.
"No, let me just sleep it off," her voice is almost a whisper and so weak.
"Please don't leave me," is what she says before she passes out.
While I am playing her hair, someone spank me with a book. I slowly turn my head as i saw Thea.
"What happened to her," worried is evident on her face.
"She passed out," i calmly said.
"Is it her asthma that caused it? Because you really need to bring her to the clinic! And why aren't you bringing her to the clinic? What medicine she asked you?" She's panicking.
"She just asked about a pill in a silver foil" was the only thing i can say.
She sigh relief evident. "Poor girl, it's either the asthma or the first day of her period that can make her this helpless." She said while looking at her.
"That hard huh?"
"Let see after you see her having an asthma attact" she challenge me.
My heart releases a big thump! Imagining it already make my heart turn to pieces. Seeing it in actual will be the end of me.
