I hate you and you hate me...there, now we're even with each other. (Chp. 3)

                                                                                Aislin's POV

I felt a sharp pain in my upper back and it became so painful that I couldn't even cry out. Blake and Whitney were soon by my side trying their best to help me but no matter what they did, the pain would not go away. I felt tears sting my eyes and I looked up at Whitney, "W-what's wrong w-w-with me?" I whispered painfully. Whitney's eyes filled with growing concern and she smoothed my hair back from my face, "Shh, everything's gonna be fine. I promise." she soothed. I nodded and closed my eyes only to hear, once again, that sharp, terrible screaming coming from outside. My eyes flew open because I then realized that the screaming was coming from Amber. I could tell it was her because of the way she screamed; in which it sounded like a dying hyena.

I tried to push myself up into a sitting position but that only worsened the pain and I cried out. Blake gently layed me in his lap and began to comfort me while Whitney yelled at some kids to call 911 or something. Though, right when Amber's screaming stopped, the pain instantly vanished and I breathed a sigh of relief. I felt sweat bead at my forehead and I suddenly felt very weak and tired. I closed my eyes and felt Blake stroking my cheeks and his arms suddenly went protective around me. I clutched to him only to realize that Seth had kneeled next to me with a look of concern in his eyes, "Are you alright?" he whispered. I nodded and tried to stand up but only fell back again.

I sighed and looked up at Blake, "Please help me to stand up." Blake nodded and stood up while gently picking me up as well. I soon felt better once I was standing up but also felt a little woozy. Though I was sure I could get through the rest of the day without another episode. If you could call it that. Whitney ran up to me and gently hugged me, "What happened?" I shrugged, "I don't know. I just felt this insanely huge pain in my upper back and a burning sensation in my throat." Whitney swallowed and looked at Blake who looked back at her. Then they both looked at me as if they shared some deep, mysterious secret. I glared at them but said nothing.

"Aislin! Are you alright!?" Andrew yelled as he pushed through the crowd. He had Amber next to him and she looked terrible. Her eyes were red from crying, her face was very pale, paler than usual, and she looked like she was in pain. I swallowed and wondered if I looked like that. I nodded at Andrew, "Yeah...I'm fine." I whispered. Andrew drew in a sigh of relief and hugged me, "Amber had the same thing you did." He said softly. I looked at her and Amber was rubbing her neck as if it were sore. Now that I had seen her doing it, I suddenly felt a sore pain in my neck and I began to rub it only to realize that it felt as if I were missing something.

I shrugged and acted as if nothing happend, not wanting to draw attention which I already was doing. Andrew nodded and understood what I was doing so he turned around to face the crowd, "It's alright! Everythings fine! Just go back to eating lunch or doing whatever it was you were doing because everything is under control!" Once he said that, everyone began to continue on what they were doing and it was if nothing had happened. I raised an eyebrow and watched Andrew who was watching me,

"How--?" I began when I heard a loud, booming voice enter the cafeteria. A shiver went down my spine as I realized who it was. Principal Vincent. He was mean and cruel. If you could call him that. All I meant was that he was the meanest principal you could ever imagine and you did not want to see him if you got in trouble. I remember seeing a girl running out of his office with a pale face and fear in her eyes because she'd gotten in trouble. So that's why I tried my best to never get in trouble because I didn't want to have to put up with him. I swallowed and shrinked back behind Blake who's face was as pale as mine. "I HEARD SCREAMING!! WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?!!" Principal Vincent's voice screamed into the now-quiet cafeteria.
