The day I accidentally hospitalized bars and melody

Two

"Skye, I just had a call from Mr Frederick."

I look up. "Oh. Pah. Yeah."

"There was an accident at open evening."

"Was there really?" I don't look her in the eyes.

"Yes. I would've thought you knew, after all, you caused the whole thing."

My mouth drops open in fake-surprise. "Mum! How can you even say that!"

"You hospitalized seven people."

"I hospitalized Leondre Devries," I say sadly. "And it was Jai as well."

"Honestly, Skye. You blame everything on this Jai person. I'm starting to think you like him."

"Oh God. No. Ew. How can you even-"

"That isn't the issue here though, is it, Skyler."

I rest my head in my palm. When she calls me Skyler, she always means business.

"The issue here is that you hospitalized seven people and destroyed several hundred pounds worth of art equipment."

"It was Jai as well!" I protest, but it is useless. He is probably having the exact same conversation with his mum right now.

"You're grounded," she says bluntly. "Go to your bedroom."

I obey, reluctantly so, and run upstairs, although I slam my door so hard the wall shakes and little pieces of plaster fall onto the carpet.

I lie on my back on my bed, kicking the wall and muttering insults under my breath.

Bored already, I sneak downstars, grab a handful of Jammy Dodgers from the kitchen cupboard and resume my previous position in my bedroom, switching on my phone and opening instagram.

I see that bars and melody have posted a photo and I open it eagerly. As it loads, I fill with horror. Leo is very much hurt. He has posted a picture of him lying in a hospital bed, his leg wrapped in plaster and his arm in a sling.

I scroll down and read the caption. I read it again, and again, and again. "Oh my God," I whisper.

"Got more than i bargained for when i went to visit my new school today lol! Kinda scared about moving now, be hopeful for me bambinos"

I read it one last time. 'New school.'

It finally sinks in, and I scream in excitement, throwing my phone across the room and jumping on my bed. "LEONDRE DEVRIES IS COMING TO MY SCHOOL."

Leondre Devries is coming to my school.

I sit back down, shaking with excitement. I pick my phone back up, typing a reply.

"Sorry for hospitalizing you!! CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME HERE!!!!!!!"

I put it on my bedside table, jumping so enthusiastically I accidentally backwards roll into the radiator.

"Skye, it sounds like something is dying up there. Can you be quiet? You are not allowed to have fun when you are grounded!" My mum calls up the stairs. I ignore her, picking up my phone for the third time and posting a picture to instagram. It was a selfie I took at open evening, just before the incident.

"Open evening was fun lol! Sorry about accidentally hospitalizing you @ leondrethelileinstein!!"

I wait for the likes to come in. Sadly, they don't, and after ten minutes, I go to delete the post, but get a notification.

"@/leondrethelileinstein liked your photo"

"@/leondrethelileinstein left a comment on your photo: nice hair ♥"

I set my phone down on the bed again, unable to speak. "Oh my God."

"Oh my God."

This is it.

The real thing.

This is a sign.

It obviously means we're going to get married.
