CHAPTER 8

* ~ * ~ * ~ *

~Ellie's P.O.V~ 

I woke up feeling a sharp pain in my head and I instinctively shut my eyes while desperately summoning my willpower to endure the pain. When the pain finally becomes dull, I slowly open my eyes and loosen my muscles making sure to make as minimal movement as possible. I took in the white ceiling, the sound of the fan gyrating and the slow swaying of the baby blue coloured curtain around me.

I heard the sound of a door being open and closed, then moments later Sam's head pop out from the curtain.

"Hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?" She asked and pulled out a chair under the bed I was on and sat beside me.

"I'll survive," I replied her. "Am I in the hospital?"

"Huh? Oh right, you're new here so you wouldn't know. This is actually the school's infirmary." She said. "How's the head?" Sam asked and gave my bandage head bump a look.

"Ugh. It's still throbbing. Please tell me I didn't embarrass myself when I blacked out." I pleaded with her. Judging from the big lump on my head, I'm pretty sure I made an ass of myself when I fainted.

She gave me a worried look, then her lips slowly twisted to a grin.

"What?" I asked nervously.

"Don't worry. You didn't embarrass yourself, but you did cause a scene." She gave me that I-know-something-you-don't-know looks and took her time before telling me more information.

"Well, I can imagine that. I did black out suddenly in the middle of the cafeteria, in front of most of the student body and while I was sitting beside Tim." I said to her and mentally face palm myself. How the hell am I ever going to show my face at school ever again? I'm a laughing joke, not even a week has passed and I've already been injured twice. This is so not my week. I released a sigh.

"Not because of that." Sam dismissed my reasoning. "Because of Greg. You should have seen the faces of those sluts when Greg holds you." At this point, while Sam was laughing like a maniac she lost me at 'because of Greg'. She was still talking about something when I interrupted her.

"Hold it! Backup! What do you mean because of Greg?" I asked.

"Dude, that's what I'm trying to tell you. Weren't you listening?" She replied sounding exasperated.

"Well explain it to me again," I said impatiently.

"Fine. But this time, concentrate," she warned me and pulled her chair closer to the bed. "When you suddenly fainted, we were all shocked. We were too shocked, we couldn't move fast enough to catch you. But not for Greg."

I listen attentively to Sam especially when she said Greg's name.

"Before you even started falling Greg was already on the move, and within seconds, he was already beside you."

"What? He can't possibly be that fast?! He was like, across the floor from me and judging from the crowded area he would surely have troubled getting near me in time." I interrupted.

"No interruption please, I'm telling a story here."

"Err...sorry."

"Anyway, within seconds, he was beside you. He did manage to catch you before you completely fell to the floor but unfortunately you bump your head to one of the chairs. You were bleeding quite a bit from it too."
