School Struggles

~OJ~

She hated math class. She was never really good in math, and that was an immediate, but minor annoyance. The really annoying thing about the class was Ruby Nocella the girl that was currently flooding the room with her whines and complains about how hard the work was, which her and Charlie had finished a while ago.

Ruby was the whore among the students, but an angel to teachers and parents alike. As with all popular people like her, she had many admirers and stalkers. But, there was really nothing she could do about Ruby, so she just suffered along.

Since she had already finished her work, and she didn't care to listen to Ruby's complains anymore, she pulled her old beat up notebook out of her backpack and opened to what she had been writing before. For some time now she had been writing a book, with Charlie helping by editing it and giving her ideas. She couldn't wait for her friends to read the next chapter that she had finished, like all "annoying" writers she tried to have a huge cliffhanger at the end of each chapter (a/n what's the point of writing without cliffhangers that make people want to jump off a bridge?). The previous one had made some of her friends angry at her for ending it where she did, and one charizard slam her head onto the cafeteria table.

'Everyone's going to "love" this chapter and it's ending' OJ said in her head with a devilish smile, which Charlie saw out of her peripheral vision which in turn made her face palm. OJ so wrapped up in her work she didn't hear the kid that sat in the back of the class get escorted out of the room for screaming at the teacher, but what did make her come back to reality was the sound of someone's heavy breathing and chattering of teeth. She looked around the room to see what it was until her eyes landed on Charlie. Her face was drained of color and she was shaking so much that she was surprised the her friend hadn't knocked everything off of her desk.

"Charlie are you OK?" She heard the teacher ask Charlie. She didn't understand what was going on her friend was quickly draining of color as the teacher moved towards her. Once the teacher made it to Charlie's desk there was a loud slam and a body that looked to be having a seizure on the floor. Most of the kids in the class pulled out their phones and started to film the girl as OJ ran to her friend.

"Someone call the hospital, and i'll go and get the nurse. Watch Charlie and make sure she doesn't hurt herself or anyone else." She couldn't hear the teacher over the sound of her heart beat and Charlie's sudden incomprehensible screams. Apparently the other students didn't hear her either, too wrapped up in filming their dieing classmate. It took another yell from the teacher to get one of the students to dial 911 and another 15 minutes for an ambulance to show up at the school and take her seizing, screaming friend to the hospital. After they had taken Charlie away Oj ran back to her desk, put all of her stuff into her backpack and call of her friends and her parents that she was going to the hospital to check on her friends. After they all hung up she sprinted out of the school and down a couple of streets to the nearest hospital that her friend would be at. She needed to know that she was OK. She thought she was prepared to face whatever machines and tubes the doctors had most likely attached her to, but apparently she wasn't prepared for what really was behind the door and what had caused her friend to end up here.
