Chapter 1
As I flutter my eyes open a pale blinding light seeps in between my eyelids. Having to blink several times before color returned to my eyes. I turn my head trying to figure out where I was. The room was medium sized with a white floor and walls. There was an old TV to my left that hung from the ceiling and a small bedside table next to me. I tilt my head downward to see that I'm laying in a white mechanical bed, with a clear tube in my arm it was attached to a transparent bag of liquid, that hung from a thin steel stand on wheels. Am I in a hospital? Why am I in a hospital? How did I get here? So many questions began to flow into my mind. The last thing I remember is me going to my locker to grab something. My locker. Now the events that happened at my locker tumbled back into my mind. Jimmy, his friends, me and the attack. It was starting to get worse, they hit and called me names but never put me in the hospital. Ugh! Why can't they just leave me alone! My stomach began to grumble, I needed to eat something. How long was I out? Putting my hands on each side of my my body I try to lift myself up.
As I slowly lift off the bed the tube in my arm falls out and a screeching alarm starts blaring.
"Ow my head" I whisper under my breath as I grab my head and bob back and forth in a daze.
Footsteps come pounding down the hallway toward my room. One of them stops at the doorway but the other continues into my room and stops next to my bed. I lift my head to see a woman dressed in all white with for a red plus sign on her right breast hovering over me trying to reach something behind me.
Turning my head toward her I see her press a clear blue button that has a sign hanging above it that says "Hospital Personal Only."
Once she pressed the button the screeching sound immediately stopped. She slowly walked over to the end of my bed and grabbed the clipboard that must have been hanging there. Walking back over to me again she slips her hand into her pocket and pulls out a pen, clicks it then touches her tongue with the tip of the pen and begins to write on the clipboard.
Without looking up from the clipboard she asks" How are you feeling."
I half heartily reply" I could be better" and leave out a sarcastic chuckle as I rub my head.
"Well according to my papers you should be able to leave at the end of the day." She looked up from her clipboard and plastered a smile on her face, it was obviously fake, it looked as if she wasn't even trying. You could tell she hated her job.
I was about to ask her about how long I was out but I better not, I will just ask Victoria when I see her. Speaking of Victoria where was she? Your best friend gets put in the hospital and you are no where to be found! What the heck!
I quickly move my head around the room but stop at the doorway when I see a figure leaning on the frame of the door.
"Victoria?"
The figure stopped leaning on the frame of the door, stood up straight then began to walk toward me.
"Look who decided to wake up." Victoria replied as the sunlight revealed her face as she walked closer to me.
The sunlight made her light brown hair glisten, her face glow and her ocean blue eyes sparkle. She looked beautiful even though she was just wearing an old ACDC shirt with black sweat pants and Vans. For some reason she didn't think so though, I don't know why because she basically had every boy at school drooling over her. She thought for some reason I was prettier than her but maybe she just said that because she thought it would help myself esteem.
" Hey Vicky, how long was I out?
Her eyebrow rose and she thought for a minute then said " Well let's see, about three days."
"Th....Th....Three days, really?!"
"Nah I'm just kidding, calm your tits, its only been a day."
"Oh thank God." I let out a deep breath and laid back on the bed.
When I sit back up I realize that the nurse had left, I wonder when she left? Oh well I guess it doesn't really matter does it?
My stomach begins to grumble again, louder this time, I grab my stomach and lean forward. Ah I need food.
"Vicky, can we get something to eat?"
"Sure, but the food's not that good." She said as her smile flipped and turned into a frown.
"I don't care, I need food."
"Alright let's go."
She walked over to me and put her hand out in front of her to help me out of bed. I grab her hand as I swing my legs off the side of the bed.
We walked out of my room and preceded down the hallway until we stood in front of a steel elevator. Vicky extended her arm out and pressed one of the buttons on the wall next to the elevator. We didn't have to wait long before the elevator opened to let us in.
As we walked into the cafe, the smells of muffins, wraps and cheese danced around our noses. My mouth began to water, ah the smell of food. A smile spread across my face.
"Let's get in line." I said as I began to run to the nearest line to us but stop once I could feel a breeze flow in between the slit in the back of my hospital tunic.
Grabbing the back of my tunic I start walking slowly into line and grab a plastic tray. Without looking I grab some food, quickly pay and rush to a seat next to a wall. How embarrassing.
Somehow Vicky already was at the table, wow she was fast. I lay my tray on the circular gray table and sit down.
Vicky looks up at me now realizing I had sat down and says "Hey, what did you get? I got this weird looking taco." She lifts a gray limp thing off her tray and frowns.
"I don't really know what I got, I just grabbed something real quick, I was feeling a breeze."
Poking some black beans on my tray, I slowly scoop some up and shove them in my mouth.
Vicky raises her eyebrow and frowns "Oh ok , well guess what I heard?" her face brightens up and she begins to smile ear to ear.
I lean closer, tilt my head and raise my eyebrow "What?"
Vicky chews the last bit of food in her mouth then smiles devilishly and says "You will have to wait and see now don't you?

Genç Kurgu"Jimmy let me go!" I yell out since his grip hadn't loosened at all even though it was obvious I was struggling. I knew he wouldn't let go so I yelled not for him but for someone else to hear. "No way nerd!" He yelled as spit flew out of his mouth...
