Not Knowing..

Breathing heavily, she hides in one of the girl's bathroom stalls. She climbs on top of the toilet and rests her aching feet on the toilets seat. She tries to steady her breaths as she hears the bathroom door being slammed open. She closes her eye's in panic, and bites her lip holding back her sobs of fright. 

"Owna~" A girls voice called out. "Come out, come out where ever you are, you peice of shit."

Holding her breath, Owna listened to the girls laughter, and saw her shoes clicking past her stall along with someone else's.. 'I have to make a break for it.. God damn it Owna man up!' She thought to herself. Quietly, but carefully, she slipped her feet out of her shoes,and softly set them on the floor to slowly stand on the back of the toilet looking at the two girls who are looking for her.

Owna held back a sigh in relief as she saw the girls back turned. She quickly climbed over the stall and onto the toilet. She opened the door and silently snuck out of that stall. She backed up quietly till she slipped and fell on her ass with a thud. The two girls turned and grinned at her. Their eye's blazing with evil.

Owna jumped to her feet and ran for the door. The two girls hot on her heels. She slammed open the door and down the hall she went.. her feet softly patting against the floor. She looked behind her as she turned a corner not seeing the person who was in front of her.

She rammed into someone's body, and they both fell the floor with a grunt and thud. Holding her now aching head she opened her brown eyes and gasped as she was starring into someone's emerald green ones. As their eye's met, the person under her body tensed up.

She let out a gasp and quickly stood to get off the poor man she ran into. "I-im so sorry!" She stuttered, and reached out a hand to help him up. The man Owna ran into laughed and stood.

"Nah, it's fine." He said with a slight grin. He bent over and picked up the mop he was holding. Owna studied him.

"You're the Janitor..?" She ended with a question. He smirked and laughed. Leaning against the mop he replied,

"And you're barefoot." He grinned a lopsided grin, as she blushed lightly.

Her eyes wandered over his body, from his strong jaw and light pink lips down to the Grey Jumper suit he's wearing. He held his hand out and said with a smile,

"Dawn Dark." She was hesitant, but reached her soft hand out and gently shook his ruff hand.

"Owna Del'mar..." She said in a whispery tone. Owna felt her ears twitch as she heard the two girls behind her laugh.

"Haha the janitor is going to take out the trash. Owna maybe you should go with him, considering you are a garbage bag." The blonde one said. The girls laughed. Slowly stalking towards her like an animal to their pray...

The janitor softly took Owna's hand and kissed her knuckles. He smiled up at her and winked. "Nah, she's too beautiful to be trash.. but you two on the other hand.." He looked at them with disgust. "I wouldn't even take you out to the dumpster!" The girls stopped and gasped, showing sign of hurt. 

Owna let out a small giggle and looked down trying not to smile. She looked at him and mouthed thank you. As the two girls stomped away. She could see his body slowly calm down before replying,

"No problem." He smiled.

2 hours skipped by, and Owna walked into her small math class. Everyone topped and stared at the sight held before them. She could fell the multiple pairs of yes held upon her. They looked at her with hock, worry, and fright. The teacher never bothered looking up from her book, and papers he was grading.

Owna sat down in a small black chair and bent her head down to look at the small dark oak desk. The person who sat  her right in a similar desk, looked at her with a small worried stare.

"Owna wha- how are you?" He stopped midsentence, speaking slowly trying to be careful of the words he chose to speak.

Looking up and over at him, he tried to fight back tears that stung her eyes trying to make their way out to be notice as she rasped out, "I'm fine.." She had dried blood leaking from her nose, and lip. Tear trails that ran down her cheeks. She had a black eye and busted lip, her hair a frizzy mess, and eyes stinging more than before from unwanted tears. She could still smell, and taste copper.

The teacher finally looked up from her 'works' to yell at whoever was to do disturb her peaceful silence but gaped at the sight bellowed out before her. She stared in horror, wanting to let out a gut throbbing sob from the sight. "Owna!" The teacher jumped from her seat in shock, and to only take a better look. The poor girl looked a if she were run over a time or two. "Fallow me to the Nurses office, Now." Ms. Lane, the teacher who was scared, tried to keep from shaking, and she  was panicking.

As Owna stood, you could see her better now. Her dark green, long sleeved shirt was torn, and covered in a dark substance; Blood. Her light blue jeans took the same attire as her shirt. Her grey and black hiking boots were covered in drops of blood. Every time shed step down, pain would sear thru her leg, making her want to cry out and scream.

She bit her cheek to hold this all back as she slowly limped forward to the nurses office. As she stepped into the empty and partially lit medical room, she looked around. It had 3 small beds, a cabinet in the corner, and  rather large counter. It had band aids, swabs, cotton balls, tec. and a small sink. Owna decided to take one of the green beds which was in the darkest, and farthest, part of the room. All the beds were surrounded by a light blue curtain

She lied down on the small bed and wrapped herself in the thin white blanket. She closed her eyes and her breath began to steady out. Sleep wrapped around her like a warm blanket on a cold winters night. The last thing she saw was a pair of familiar green eyes before she fully fell asleep.
