Devouring Her Soul

Part 6

We made our way out, and Andrew was walking close behind me as we b-lined towards the nurse's office.

We got there and met Ms. Cherry at her desk to check-in.

"Why hello there, you two. What brings you here?"

She smiled up at us kindly, and Andrew moved to the side so she could see me.

"Uh..hi, Ms. Cherry. There was an accident in our science class and.."

I trailed off, remembering that if I told her I might've been hurt, then she was required to examine my body and check for scars.

I had burn marks and scars, but they weren't from science class.
I shot my gaze over to Andrew and pulled him in front of me.

"There was an accident in class, and he got burned."

Andrew looked back at me and frowned.

"No, I didn't -"

Ms. Cherry cut him off, standing up and grabbing his hand, walking him over to one of the beds.

"Oh no, we need to get you checked out right away!"

She sat him down on the bed and grabbed her first aid kit.

I wasn't expecting there to be anything on him, but there was a nice-sized burn on his lower arm.

Did he get that when he pulled me out of the way?

I looked at him worriedly, and he looked away, rolling his eyes.

After she finished cleaning up the burn and bandaging his arm, he stood up and grabbed the back of my neck, pulling me in front of him and speaking to the nurse.

I looked like a cat being held by its fur.

"We came for her."

Ms. Cherry looked at me with a confused and worried expression.

"Oh, honey, are you alright?"

She walked over and tried to grab my arm, but I moved away and smiled.

"I'm fine. I didn't get burned or anything. Andrew moved me out of the way."

She stared at me for a moment, deciding whether or not to believe me, but eventually, she smiled and walked over to her drawer.

"Well, if you two are fine now, then I'll send you up to the office to file an incident report."

I sighed as she handed me the hall pass.

"Thank you, Ms. Cherry."

We slowly made our way to the office and sat in the waiting area.

After a while, I saw Ms. Chen walk by. She looked at me, but she seemed scared. She shook her head and looked down at the ground as she quickly went to her office.

As soon as her door shut, the principal, Mr. Grayson, walked into the room. He was heading towards Ms. Chen's office, but he paused when he saw us sitting there.

"And what brings you two in here?"

He raised a brow, his tone filled with frustration and annoyance.

I looked at Andrew, and he didn't even bother to look at the principal.

I looked back at Mr. Grayson.

"Uhm. Incident report."

I stood up and handed him the hall pass and note that Ms. Cherry wrote for us, finally getting Andrews's attention.

The principal looked at it and rolled his eyes.

"Very well then, follow me."

He led us to his office and sat in his chair.
