Nixon's Story

Chapter 12

I slowly woke up to Haku's voice.

"Mmmmmmm. Five more minutes." I said rolling over.

"No, you have to get up now! Or we will be late for history!" Haku said back.

"That's first? What floor again?" I asked, finally sitting up.

"The next floor up." He told me.

"Oh... Five more minutes." I said lying down again.

"Nixon!! Get up! Do I always have to put up a fight with you every morning?" He asked me.

I shrugged.

"I guess I could get up." I said looking at him.

"Good! You have 10 minutes." He said standing up from the end of my bed and walking to the door.

I got dressed and brushed my teeth and got my bag ready for school.

"Now, first is History, on Eighth, Then Science, still on Eighth, then art, on eighth." Haku told me wrapping his wrist again.

"So we're on eighth floor all morning, uh?" I asked.

"Yep, but fourth and fifth periods are on the second floor." He said.

"Okay, then the rest of the day is on first?" I asked.

"Uhu. But health is outside."

"Right." I said back.

"Does it hurt today?" I asked.

"Mmmm. More than yesterday. I guess I slept on it the wrong way, cause today it's hurting like hell." He told me.

"Hmm. Or maybe because the weather today is supposed to be bad." I told him opening my laptop, looking at the weather.

"How bad?" He asked looking over my shoulder.

The weather network said Thunderstorms with the chance of tornadoes. Rain up to 150km an hour. Winds up to 150km an hour. Humidity 60%.

Warnings were everywhere on the network.

"I'm guessing health might be inside." Haku said still looking over my shoulder.

"Haha, Guess so." I said closing the laptop.

"Let's go." I said throwing my bag around my shoulder.

Haku nodded and grabbed his bag with his left hand and put it over his shoulder.

We left our dorm to see Mimi wandering the hallway.

"Mimi?" I yelled over.

She looked back, and smiled.

"Faces I know! Hi!" She said walking over to us.

"Got lost?" I asked.

She nodded. Haku slowly covered his wrapped wrist with his hand.

"Well, Haku knows where we are going, same do I, so wanna walk with us?" I asked.

"If you don't mind." She said.

I looked at Haku who was looking down at the ground.

"Nah! Come on!" We all walked to the elevator and pushed the blue button showing the number eight.

Haku seemed lost in thought, though, still holding his wrist.

"So Haku, You have everything you need?" Haku shot his head up.

"What?" He asked. Mimi laughed.

"Do you have everything?" I mouthed 'Are you okay' to him.

"Yeah, I do." He mouthed back 'yeah, i just hurt a lot.'

I nodded.

"Okay."
