You Found Me

Chapter 8

Sorry this is quite short! I will update again as soon as possible. As always, Read! Comment! Enjoy! I appreciate all comments (even hate ones!)

My mind clears and I open my eyes to the bright florescent lights of the school. I hear a heartbeat and look up. Crystal Eyes is carrying me in his arms. I squirm and look around. The hallways are vacant except for Victor and a handsome boy in glasses. I wave weekly to them, feeling groggy and discombobulated. 

Where are they taking me? I can walk now too. I open my mouth to tell Crystal Eyes but then he turns into the nurses' office. He sets me down on the front bed and walks back to join the ranks of Victor and the other. 

"Why am I here?" I ask the boys, confused as to why, when I was clearly not dying or severely injured, they would bring me to the nurse.

The door swings open and Dr. Green strode in. He makes a bee line for us and quickly gives us a once over. "I heard there was a slight tussle involving you four." His voice was light and playful but I could feel the reprimanding undertones. I stared at the ground sheepishly while Crystal Eyes snickers. 

"Kota, why don't you explain what happened while I look over Miss. Sang." 

"Please, if you will, I'm not your main concern. Would you look over...?" Unsure of his name and not wanting to point, I trailed off "... I'm sorry but I don't know your name." I stare at Crystal Eyes and hope he catches my drift. 

 "Gabriel Coleman but you are free to call me Gabe." 

I smile, like the angel? I think I will stick to Gabriel. "Would you mind looking over Gabriel first? He received the brunt of the damage. All I have a slight headache."

To be honest, I didn't say that all for Gabriel. I partially said it because I'm hoping Nurse Nancy will come back, or a meteor to crash into the school, or the Zombie Apocalypse to begin, anything to stop Dr. Green from examining me. I had secrets and I preferred them, like most people, to stay secret.

I felt the stares of the others but Dr. Green nods and Gabriel and I switch. I sit between Victor and Kota (I assume is his name) on the hospital bed as they recount the story, and though we have much room to ourselves, I begin to feel trapped and suffocated. The story made me out to be some hero, some school vigilante, bringing justice to students when the staff turned a blind eye.

 I glance over at Victor and I feel a pang of familiarity. Was it because I met him earlier? Or did he remind me of someone? I couldn't quite put my finger on it. An uncomfortable knot settles in my stomach. Tuning back into the story, I realize Dr. Green seems to be handling the story well. Until he starts to scold me.

"Miss. Sang, while your actions were noble, I suggest keeping out of most fights. No, keeping out of ALL fights. No more fights for you." He bops me on the nose before turning back to looking at Gabriel. 

I flush, heat exuding off of me. Am I not getting written up? Maybe I can get lucky? Maybe Gabriel won't yell at me again? He seemed angry earlier.

I sneak a peek at Kota, unsure if I should introduce myself or not.

"Hello, I'm Sang"

His eyebrows rise, "As in, I sang a song?"

"I know it's weird."

"No weirder than 'Kota'."

A small smile worms its way on my face. "I suppose not. Weird names are nice, though." 

*Sigh* Best part of Introductions...
