As he was running on the stairs he noticed someone near him , he tried to step aside but in haste collided with the other boy loosing his balance. "Oh shit" Macau managed to say as he tumbled down the stairs .
He tried reaching for the other boy's hand or the railing to stop the fall, but it was of no use , he tumbled backwards feeling a sharp pain shoot up from his ankle as he crashed onto steps ,he let out a groan , as he struggled to sit up , the pain in the ankle made it difficult to move .
"Hey kid are you ok?" a passerby asked moving forward briskly towards the scene , concern evident in his eye "I guess i twisted my ankle " Macau replied still touching the ankle to comfort the pain.
"wait a minute don't move, I'll come " he said while keeping his belonging on the staircase " rest of you go back to your classes please , we don't want a scene here" he came forward and helped Macau to his feet and supported him, as he limbed to move forward .
"Please keep them in the board room" he requested to one of the people who was following him while taking the boy to the medical room
"Are you sure you can walk till the elevator" he asked concerned with the way the boy was limping
"yes sir , I guess i can" Macau replied trying not to put force on the other leg , the man took Macau's bag from his shoulder as they stood for the elevator to arrive.
"Macau right?" he hesitantly asked
Macau squinted through the pain trying to make out his face , It was Tem .
"We met once , in the alumni i'm..." he said sheepishly feeling a little shy to introduce himself.
"P'Tem i remember you , it's just that i didn't notice , sorry for the bother " Macau replied , the elevator door opened , revealing students who were ready to pound out , after a while he took Tem's support while walking in the empty lift.
"It's fine , P'Tem i can go from here" Macau continued.
"you'll just strain your leg if you move by yourself , if it's not a sprain it sure will become one" Tem said holding him firmly, while pressing the floor number.
The Elevator kept stopping at each floor making the compact space fill with people which made Tem a little too close to Macau invading his personal space , he switched Macau to the corner of the lift standing like a shield between him and Macau to protect the boy from any discomfort.
"just bear a little " Tem whispered as the crowd started increasing , "it's fine , it's not that bad" Macau whispered back trying to tiptoe leaning a little forward reaching his ear.
As the elevator stopped on their floor people made way for both of them to get out , due to the compact space Macau winced in pain as he dragged his body forward , moving from the corridor to the medical room , Macau now shifted his whole weight on the other man as pain started consuming his whole body on the newly formed bruises .
"Make him sit on the bed please" the middle aged women with a soft voice said , Tem helped him get on the bed leaving him in the care of the doctor present there , he then moved a little back for the doctor to examine.
"May i know what happened?" she asked , Macau looked towards Tem waiting patiently for him to explain the whole situation , as if he was a small child
seeing Macau's eyes he took the initiative explaining the whole situation to the doctor who heard them patiently.
"so you slipped down and twisted your ankle" she sighed looking at Macau who just nodded in response. She went towards her desk to wear her gloves "how many times should we remind you not to run on stairs , what was so urgent that you had to run?" she said now moving to the boy to take a closer look at his leg.
