I quickly changed back into my regular clothing, grabbing my book bag and heading towards the exit of the locker room. That was when I ran into Jade. I tried to walk around her, but another girl stepped up beside her. And another next to her. My stomach turned and settled uneasily. "Hey, Song." "What do you want Jade?" She laughed and so did her friends. "What?" I ask. "We just want to get the message across," Jade says, amused. The three girls start to circle me and I instantly wish that I could just slip past. I quickly try, but Jade just shoves me into one of her friends, who shove me back. "Stop, Jade." I say quietly. She laughs and shoves me again. I quickly turn and shove the girl behind me. My eyes widen as she hits the wall. The next girl over quickly comes at me. In defense, my arm swings out. It catches her in the nose. Jade snarls. "Wow. Didn't know you were mean enough to do that. Maybe if you'd stop hogging the cute guys I'd be your friend." I gag. They're just friends. But before I know what's happening, Jade kicks me in the knee. I fall to the ground and she dashes out with her friends. I quickly stand up, but my knee is a little wobbly. Definitely painful though. I hoist my book bag over my shoulder and walk out slowly. When I get out, Kota and Nathan wait for me with concern. When they see me, it instantly becomes more concerned. "Sang, what happened." "I hit my knee on the edge of my locker. Really hard." I lie. They give me weird glances but Kota takes my book bag and Nathan picked me up. I shivered when I felt his breath on my ear. "I think we all know we don't believe you. We're just waiting for you to tell."
------------------
About a week later, my knee hadn't gotten any better. Thankfully it never acted up when I was around the boys. When it does though, it's really painful but it's something you just have to wait out. I was currently hanging out with Kota and surprisingly, Mr. Blackbourne as well. We were supposed to be watching a movie, but I don't think any of us were. Kota was starting of into space, I was watching Kota, and Mr. Blackbourne was on his phone. Ever since the day I fought with Greg, I had noticed Kota was acting a little out of it. He isn't as focused or awake as he usually is. I wanted to talk to Dr. Green but didn't know when. I walked over to Mr. Blackbourne. "Can I help you?" He asked without looking up. "Um, yeah. Is Dr. Green working right now?" "No. Why?" He asks, looking up. "I just wanted to talk to him, that's all." He nods. "We can leave now." I nod and go back to the couch. I give Kota a quick hug and tell him I'm leaving. He gives a small nod, but like I told you, doesn't seem to focus on it. We quickly get in the car.

As I walked into Sean's condo with Mr. Blackbourne at my side, I could feel the pain kicking in again. Not now, I pleaded, but my knee gave in. "Sang!" Mr. Blackbourne exclaimed, catching me before I landed on the ground and sweeping me of my feet. I wince slightly. "I just need to sit down," I assure him. He sits me on the couch and I bring my knee at an angle, clutching it. "Sean!" Mr. Blackbourne called, worry slightly etched into his voice. Sean rushed in, searching the room until his eyes landed on me. "Go get some ice. What hurts?" He asks, kneeling beside me as he snaps into doctor mode. "My knee." I say. He nods. "I need you to let go of it, okay?" "I need something to hold onto." I jump a little as Mr. Blackbourne hands work their way into my own. I whimper at the pain in my knee. Sean places a heads on my forehead before rubbing my arm. "You need to calm down or else you're going to pass out. Take a deep breath." I do, and keep repeating the process. He then moves to rub my leg, making imaginary circles. "I'm going to straighten your leg, alright?" I nod slowly, whimpering as a couple tears find their way down my face. Continuing to rub my uninjured leg, he slowly straightens the other. The pain intensifies gradually, reaching maximum at the complete straightened of my leg. I bite my lip to keep from crying out, though tears flow freely down my face. Mr. Blackbourne squeezes my hand in reassurance, and he makes circles with his thumb. My deep breaths are shaky as Sean moves to rub my injured leg, applying pressure to different points. When he started to rub my knee, I almost passed out. Mr. Blackbourne bent down and whispered a reminder. "Hang in there, deep breath in deep breath out." I slowly obeyed, closing my eyes. In, out. In, out. Something cold was pressed to my knee. I winced. "Here. You did good, Sang." I parted my lips as something cool slipped past. I smiled, taking the glass from Sean. He smiled at me, placing a hand on my forehead. "Well Owen, I think it worked!" I tilted my head at Sean who shrugged. Sean shifted his gaze to Owen. "So care to explain this random situation?" Mr. Blackbourne started at me before answering. "That is the exact same thing I would like to know."
