You and him wait until the nurse is able to meet you.

He stays with you the whole time, making sure you're okay.
The nurse finally interrupts and comes in between with the disinfectant and medicine.

"Would you like me to stay?" he asks from behind the nurse.

You shake your head at his request "no you can leave, thanks for this. You must be having classes now, right?"

He looks embarrassed, "Right. Sorry again. I hope you feel better
soon.
You smile at his words "Thanks, I'll be fine."

As he turns around to leave, he suddenly stops in his way and turns to you.

"By the way, What's your name?" he suddenly asks for your name and you feel a flutter in your chest.

You're nervous, and your mind goes blank for a moment.

You stutter at first, but then you gather your courage, "uh Y/n." You feel a sense of relief wash over you, and you can't help but smile.

Despite your nerves, you're glad that you were able to introduce yourself to him.

"That's a nice name. I'm Joshua." He comes forward and shakes hand with you.

"Will see you around." And just like that, he walks away from the room, waving at you.

You can't help but wonder if you'll be able to see Joshua again soon., But now your thoughts are interrupted by the nurse's voice.

"Let's take a look at that cut," she says, gesturing for you to sit down.

You sit on the bed and the nurse begins to clean the cut.

As she applies the medicine, you can't help but wince in pain. "Ouch, that hurts!"

"You should be more careful," the nurse scolds. "Running like that is never a good idea."

You laugh. "I know, I know. I'm sorry."

The nurse finishes applying the medicine and puts a bandage on the cut.

"All done," she says. "You should be good to go."

"Thanks," you say, standing up. "I'll try to be more careful next time."

As you leave the room, you can't help but wonder if you'll run into Joshua again.

You reach your classroom and notice that the class has already started.

Knocking on the door and opening it, causing everyone to turn around and look at you.

The teacher looks up from his desk and nods, allowing you to enter.

As you walk to your seat, the teacher notices the big bandage on your knee and asks what happened.

"It's just a little bruise," you reply, scratching your head.

The teacher nods and goes back to his work.

You glance over at your seatmate, Dino, and notice that he's looking at you with a worried expression.

Dino has been your best friend since childhood, and you can tell that he's concerned about your injury.

"Are you okay?" he whispers, leaning over to you.

You nod, smiling. "Yeah, it's nothing. Just a little scrape."

Dino looks doubtful, but he doesn't press the issue.
The class continues, but you can't help but feel distracted by the throbbing pain in your knee.

You glance down at the bandage and try to ignore it, but it's hard to concentrate on the lesson.

As the bell now rings, the teacher leaves the classroom, and the second period begins, Iva, Dino's little sister passes you a note.

Reading it made you smile, you  tucked it away in your bag.

You told her that you'll explain everything during the break.

When the break comes, you, Dino, and Iva leave the class together.

Dino comes up to you and asks me and iva what we want for lunch, and you both reply "burger."As you're about to hand him the money for your meal, he stops you and says it's his treat today.

You want to protest, but the expression on his face shows that he really wants to pay.

Suddenly, Iva chimes in, "Oh, wow, I suppose then I'm included too."

Dino denies her and jokes that she has to pay for her own meal.

She smacks him from behind, and you laugh.

Dino then apologizes, and he goes to the canteen, leaving you and Iva alone.

You explain to Iva how you got the bruise, and she's shocked at the information you give her. "So his name is Joshua," Iva says to you, and you nod your head.

As you're busy talking to Iva, Dino comes back with the meal. Burgers, fries, and cold drinks.

Your regular meal.

You all sit together, enjoying the food and each other's company.

"Thanks for the meal, Dino," you say, taking a big bite of your burger.

"No problem, Y/n. You guys are always there for me when I need you," Dino replies, smiling.

Iva nods in agreement. "Yeah, we're like the Three Musketeers," she says, giggling.

You laugh, feeling happy and content.
You know that no matter what happens, you have these two by your side.

You finish your burger, feeling satisfied and full.

You're grateful for the break and the chance to spend time with your friends.

Sometimes all you need is a good company of your friends to make you happy.

:))((()) how to have friends like her?
