The Night Walk

Chapter 7

Class has finally started, the teacher's just talking about a new topic for lesson, good thing that he puts an excuse on Cameron's name in the attendance after knowing that the student is sick and could not attend classes in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, during class time, a certain boy woke up from sleeping, he felt a bit better rather than earlier, his vision is still a bit blurry, and he could feel his body temperature heating up. He feels his hand around on whatever he's lying on, it's soft and comfy.

"mmhhh...." he lets out a noise, he doesn't have the energy to talk or form a word, and this caused someone to hear him.

Someone fixed the blanket on him so he wouldn't get sicker than he is now "You're awake, I'm glad that you seem to be doing better at least, how do you feel?" a woman, the nurse asks him gently then she gently pressed her knuckle on his forehead as she puts on a new wet towel on his forehead.

"I don't know... but I think a bit better?" he finally forms a word, and his vision is not that blurry anymore, he sees the woman and he could tell that she's indeed beautiful, she appears to have a strawberry blonde hair and dark magenta eyes, and her hair is tied into a bun.

After he answered, she gave him an understanding nod "Well dear, you had a high fever than before so at least you're feeling better now, your classmates must be worried for you..."

He's face turned sadly angry 'Why would they me worried for someone like me? I'm not really a good classmate and I already showed that in my first day which is just yesterday....' Cameron, he doesn't truly know what to feel as he just looks away.

The nurse, she could tell the emotion he's feeling because due to being nurse, many students come here often due to injuries and many of them have lots of emotions that's either from the injuries or on what caused them to get their injuries. "Dear, what are you feeling?" she asked Cameron softly.

"Heh! I'm not gonna say...." he smiled bitterly.

She sighs "I am serious when I said that your classmates are worried for you to the point that one of them carried you all the way here"

And this response shots his eyes open "Who?" he asks looking at her.

"Your classmate, Sam, he carried you all the way here by hands" she smiled warmly remembering how she sees the concern look on his face.

Cameron stayed quiet after that, he doesn't really know what to feel, because even though he's been a bit unfriendly to Sam, he still helps him. But another negative thought ruined that great help.

'No, he wouldn't just help me, he might want something'

He shakes his head and again, she notices this "And also, your afternoon teachers give you an excuse to not attend their classes right now so you can rest" this explanation made him look up at her again.

"Wait, I don't have to attend later?" 

"You don't have to, so I advise you to take a rest for the afternoon and after school, Sam will walk with you and drop you home" again, another explanation that shocks Cameron.

Like, how much does he think that Sam will help him, it's still very new to him and he's not used to this helpful treatment, especially not from his old school. So, he just nods then lays back down because his head is really killing him.

He wonders... 'Should I give him a chance to let him help me? .... Well... not like I even have a choice.... Afterall, I get sick all the time from my old school, and no one would walk me home and my families are always busy' and with that, he closes his eyes falling asleep immediately from exhaustion. 

But maybe this time... He'll give this experience a chance... Which will be a bit hard for him...
