A year on Venus

55: Goodbyes!

3RD PERSON POV

Today Adams came to school with crutches. He got a bone dysfunction after slipping down in class while trying to stand up for Jasmine.

But now that he was in the school parking lot, he looked around just to see Jasmine. They locked eyes before she quickly broke the gauze and looked away.

Seems like Jasmine wouldn't as much as look at him. She didn't care. She wouldn't even ask if he was okay, she wouldn't even spare him a second glance. He had no idea why she didn't care about him but wallah a mere attention from her could get him to the sky. He couldn't lie, the way they locked eyes, he was sure she'd seen that, she'd seen him with crutches and it was Camilla that took him to a hospital immediately he slipped and broke his leg, because Jasmine left the place almost immediately, and when his sister brought him to school today and got out of the driver's seat to the passenger seat to open the door for him he was sure Jasmine had seen him. Because they locked eyes and immediately she looked away and snubbed him, she was just coming to school, but his mind drifted to why she wasn't with her car, could something went wrong with it? How about her eyes? How's she actually feeling? Is everything alright with her? It was his sister's voice that got him outta his reverie.

"Is that her?" She silently asked. He looked in her eyes, and when his honey lens locked with his sister's same ones he gently nodded and tight his lips together before looking at the floor.

"Do you want me to go talk to her?"

He could tell how much his sister had grown up. Even though she always seems to know what's going on in his mind he couldn't help but wonder how quickly she detected the whole situation. "You seem sad. You seem like you wanna talk to her." She finally added holding his hand firmly, so she could support him.

"It's okay!" He voiced out.

She nodded, "let me walk you to class."

And together they walked down the hallway upto where he would have his lecture, once his sister got in, she locked eyes with Jasmine as the later quickly bowed her head down before resting her head atop her books on the desk, hiding away her face.

Adams's sister was trying to walk him to his seat, when Camilla was just coming in to the class, she quickly ran over to them offering a helping hand by collecting Adams's bag from his sister and helping him get to his seat.

Adams looked over to Jasmine's seat slowly, when he saw her head pressed to her seat he suddenly felt scared. What if she's sick?

His sister forced a sad smile and cleared her voice, "I would go with the car. You call me when you're done." She said with a sad smile. He nodded at her as she thanked Camilla and left.

Camilla helped Adams to get to the cafeteria. It's been a time consuming journey, but they finally arrived.

"I'll go place in your order! Do you need anything else?" Camilla asked with much care. He shook his head at her, "i'm good!" He replied. She nodded, offered him a tight smile as assurance that everything would be alright before going off to place the order.

He kept sitting there and looking at his legs. As if someone asked him to look up he did. And he was met with a girl standing few feet away. Then she suddenly turned to leave!

"Wait!" He called out.

But she didn't stop.

"Please you wait!" He whispered. And he knew she heard when she finally halted. She then turned around and started walking towards him.

"Well, you shouldn't have fought if you knew it's just the mouth with out any strength!" She bellowed as she stood by his chair. The way she was mad, he found it cute, he laughed before shaking his head, "he cheated! He spilt water on the floor! And you knew it!"
