Sasuke- continued

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

Sasuke-

I stagger onto the school grounds, my body starting to take effect now that the adrenaline as worn off. "Shit," my breathing is uneven as I feel some blood dripping down my cheek. The blood feels like failure, not pain. I'm not supposed to be beaten, not like this. It's a bad look.

I need to get to the nurse.
I try to get myself to focus, but one of those guys got me in the head, it's a little hard to think clearly.

"One... two, three".

I count my steps, trying to focus on keeping myself conscious, but my eyelids feel heavy all of a sudden. Thankfully, I've made it to the nurse just in time as I walk in drunk-like.

"Oh my," the lady said with a pause standing up, as if trying to think of what to do. She motions to the seat, "Come and sit down here, quickly dear"

I drop myself on the chair in a daze, everything here is too bright, to loud. The fluorescent lights flicker, each one hammering my skull.

I almost miss a familiar person on the left. Is that... i forgot her name. The girl with the red hair, my mood somehow drops even lower.

Why do I have to be around this girl at a time such as this?

While the nurse goes to get some bandages and ice, the girl scoots closer to me, but I don't even notice. Im too busy focusing on my pounding headache. I can hear the hushed conversations outside the room door.

"Sasuke...? Are you okay.."

I can see she uses this moment to move even closer, touching my bruises. I try to push her off of me but it seems she's insistent.

She then starts to put both her hands on my face, caressing it in a caring way that makes my stomachs starts to churn. She stares at me with that gaze, the one all of them look at me with. They aren't looking at me, they look at my exterior with that gaze.

Shes really starting to piss me off.

"Back off." I say in a loud voice.

My injuries along with my tone scared her, I felt slightly bad for her as she ended up backing her chair up into her spot.

Just then the nurse came in with the medication and supplies as she started tending to my wounds.

——-

She finishes as soon as the bell rings. "I'm sorry dear, would you like a pass?"

I shake my head back and forth for a no, not wanting to speak at the moment as I take my leave.

My brains still a little foggy as I'm walking but at least I'm not bleeding. Class 1A is right down the hall from the nurse so I get there pretty quickly, my eye gets caught on two familiar faces.

It's Naruto, this dumbass is late... again. I just got beat up, what's his excuse?

I move my gaze to the smaller person running beside him, it's that girl with the pink hair. Why is he running to class with her?

I push aside my thoughts as I hear the loud shutting of the class door, marking me officially late.

I get to the door in no rush and open it, half-expecting to be met with Kakashi Sensei's disapproving look, half-expecting for him to ignore me. Instead, his chairs empty.

My thoughts shift as I realize how fast it had become quiet, what's with them?
I then come to my senses, remembering it's my visible markings on my face they're staring at.

I go up to my seat that's to the right of the pinkette, then sink into it. I become painfully aware of everyone's eyes on me, I guess it's a big deal, but it's annoying as hell.

I couldn't care less as I decide to rest my head on my arms with the limited time that Kakashis away.

Someone drops their phone, my head jerks up from the harsh "CLANK".

I blink slowly, ready to close them again, but the first thing I see when I open my eyes is her, the girl from earlier.

What was her name.. Sakura, right?

I'm really drowsy at this point, i'm starting to see in swirls; I may or may not be seeing a unicorn out the window at the moment.

I don't realize that I'm unconsciously staring at her, shes also resting her head on her arms, facing me.

I forget everything that's happened today as I space out, gazing into her bright green eyes, mesmerized by the way it's draped over her arms. Her gaze is fixed, looking at my injuries.

my thoughts start to blur as I let in, closing my eyes. The last sound I can make out before drifting off is a girl whispering loudly to Sakura.

———-

I'm woken up about 30 minutes later to Kakashi Sensei nudging on my shoulder. He's not surprised looking at my face, he gets low and whispers:

"I've emailed your mom she's here to pick you up." with a knowing look.

shit.

I loudly push my chair out and stand up, already feeling the annoying stares on me as I lift up my backpack over my shoulder.

I approach my mom's black car, and before I can even resume my nap my mom's already teary eyed, screaming at me with a mix of crying and anger. All I can process at the moment is that she apparently thought I was going to die and goes out to say something about me turning out like a bum on the street.

I tune it all out, watching the orange and red trees as they pass by through the window.

Was I imagining it or was that staring at me earlier?

She's done that before, except this time it felt like she was looking beneath the bruises, an act I couldn't explain. Whether it was pity or something worse, I'm left with annoyance.
