We ran through the burning building, our eyes beginning to tear up from the smoke as we held handkerchiefs to our faces - well that's not exactly true I was being carried for one and we were trapped inside a burning hallway. Lets rewind :-
"Hey my name's Malcolm and as you can see I've fallen for you".
I didn't know whether to thank him or criticize his cheesy one liner, what I did know was that we had no time to spare and that we had to reunite with our class as soon as possible. I tried getting up-
"Ouch", was all I managed to say before falling down on top of him again. "Woah there, let me give you a hand before you pulverize me by falling again", he said with that grin plastered on his face. I found myself blushing, I'd fallen on the poor guy twice and he was still being so nice to me, not to mention that he 'fell for me', like seriously dude save your flirty puns for after we get out of the burning building. I got off from on top of him and let him get up.
"Ohk now lets try that again", he held out his hand and I grabbed it while he pulled me up. I tried to take a step forward when I felt pain in my left leg, it seemed like I had twisted my ankle. Seeing my expression he more or less understood what had happened.
"You've gotten hurt huh ? Well there's only one thing to do then", he said. He let me sit down on the floor gently and then squatted down next to me, his back towards me. He turned his head around and said " Get on, I'm carrying you outta here".
My face went bright red, as if it wasn't enough falling on him twice, now he wanted to carry me ??? . "It's fine I can walk", I said trying to get up - so that didn't work too well because the pain hit me twice as hard this time and I ended up being caught by him again. This was getting a bit too embarrassing.
It was getting a lot hotter as well and as I looked around I saw absolutely no one I knew, it was just crowds of students and the number was beginning to dwindle. We had to follow them out before everyone was gone.
"Yeah sureeee you can - just not now. Put your hand around my neck and I'll hold your legs, now is not the time for modesty", he said. I reluctantly put my arms around his neck and he picked me up. Wow I felt taller, embarrassed but a whole lot taller - I wasn't exactly the tallest person and I generally had to look up at people. As I rested on his back, I could see that he was blushing quite a bit too - looks like we were both in the same boat.
"Alright time to get out of here, tell me where to go", he said. "Follow that group of students there " , I directed him. He obediently followed running after them like I weighed nothing more than a paperweight. This guy sure was strong for an average high school-er. As we were about to reach the staircase the people we were following took, the door opening to it caught fire.
Things were just getting worse by the second. Malcolm stopped as he neared the door. "We have to find another way out".
Well was this a cliffhanger ? I'm not sure it is that thrilling nonetheless it leaves some suspense so look forward to the next one XD
