PLAYGIRL GOT PLAYED

That moment

We rushed her to the hospital.

Yes, we.

Jayson and I.

We couldn't find the school nurse so that's what we could do.

I was standing outside the operation room going to and fro like a pendulum.

Suddenly, someone touched me.

I turned to see Jayson.

I hugged him and started crying.

I'm sure my make up was coming off but that's not important right now.

I couldn't lose Siola.

Not now.

Not today.

The doctor came out of the operation room.

"Doctor! How's she?" I asked eagerly

" she's fine. We'll move her to the ward soon." He nodded and went away.

Oh my God!

I thought this was the end.

I sat down quietly thinking of why she did that. Was it her parents? Or me? Or her grades? But her grades are perfect.

Sigh.

Oh no...Jayson is here. My make up.

I quickly took my bag, covered my face and rushed to the washroom.

How did I remember to take my bag? Sometimes I think if my make up kit is more important than Siola. Well...they both are important. Or maybe Siola is a little less important than...no, Siola is 0.000001 more important than my make up kit. That fair? Yes!

I did a touch up and went back to Jayson.

" Why did you run off like that? Someone would think you're pregnant." Jayson made a joke.

" You're funny. I had to use the washroom urgently." I said.

He smiled charmingly.

" I was waiting for you. The doctor said we can go and see her now. Have you called her parents?"

" I forgot...I'll call them right away."

After the call, we both went to see Siola.

She was still asleep. She was pale and I could barely hold in my tears. Even though she wasn't okay, she was still beautiful. I wish I was...forget that.

I sat by her side and held her hand...so tight.

" I nearly lost you" I said under my breath while crying.

" But you didn't..." Her weak voice came

" Hey...are you okay? Jayson call the doctor!"

" Stop overreacting." She chuckled

" are you crazy? Overreacting? Well maybe if you stop 'under' acting, I will stop overreacting!" I blurted out.

" oh God. My ears"

"Sorry. I missed you, you got me crying"I smiled

" What a liar, your make up looks perfect." She teased

" I did a touch up." I laughed.

"Wow! While I was being patched up huh?"

" No no no...after, I can't let Jayson see me like that" I whispered

She nodded and smiled faintly.

The doctor came to check her up and after he left, her parents came in too.

They looked angry.

" Siola! You wanted to kill yourself! How dare you?" Her father shouted

I had to say something.

" I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs Flaire, it was a mistake. The pills were for an experiment and I kept them in her food and she didn't know. It's not like I wanted her to eat it but...I was going to give her another one and...we were just playing around and switching foods and she ate the one with the pills, I...really didn't mean to hurt her." I stated

I know I didn't make sense but please believe me.

"She would never try to kill herself...we all know that." I said boldly

They nodded.

" You nearly killed her Nelle. You should be careful. You knew it was dangerous." Mrs Flaire said

" I apologize to all of you" I acted like I was really sorry

Mr Flaire didn't seem to believe but he shook his thoughts away and left.

Mrs Flaire sat by her daughter and started applying lotion to her skin.

I stood there with Jayson awkwardly.

He decided to go back to school.

I came back home to take a shower and go back to spend the night with Siola. I took clothes for her and took my laptop so that we can watch something. I also took some snacks.

The night was fast. I was glad that Siola was still by my side.

_________________________________________

One month later...

Siola was all healed now. She picked me up for school and I brought sandwich for both of us.

We were talking about my grades through the drive.

" Last semester, it was bad. Very bad. You know I like to be honest. You have to study Nelle. Stop thinking about boys!..."

" Okay, that's it! You can't judge me okay? I choose what I want to do. Yeah, I know my grades are bad..."

"...very bad" she added

"...whatever, I will study okay. Just don't bring what I do in my daily life into this. We're talking about grades...not my choices."

" Listen, what you do in your daily life counts. Miss, you've been sitting idle talking about Jayson all the time. You think he doesn't study? Besides, guys hardly choose brainless people."

" What? I'm not brainless. I know something!"

" What do you know aside putting dirt all over your face and acting like a girl who wishes she had a princess title." Siola spat

I looked at her in disbelief. Did she just say that?

" What? Are you serious right now? "

" I'm so..."

" Pull over"

" Nelle I...I di..."

" I said pull over!"

She did and I stepped out.
