Secret No. 8: When there is a Superman, there is a Way

-Naomi-

I woke up to find myself sitting on wet ground. Leaves were all over the place and it was dark.

Then I remembered my fall.

I was lost but nobody had come to find me. I felt a sense of despair in my chest. Struggling to get up on my feet, I stumbled and fall again. My stupid ankle was throbbing like mad!

Great. I can't even crawl back because of the bruises on my knee. I had to think of something fast. My vision blurred and my head ache. I felt my forehead and realized I was having a fever. No wonder I couldnt think!

'Goddamn.' I cursed. The voice dint sound like mine.

Then I realization dawned. It wasn't my voice.

A pair of strong arms lifted my devastated state of a body effortlessly. The hold was gentle. I felt warmth on the chest of whoever was carrying me. I felt the fluttering heartbeat of the carrier. Then lastly, I saw a pair of twinkling green eyes in the moonlight.

Then everything became pitch black once more. Only this time, I knew I was in safe hands. I wasn't afraid of the dark anymore.

'Nico!' I jumped out of my bed shouting the jerk's name.

'W-What?' Ash muttered as her eyelids opened.

'Nothing. Just a bad dream. Why are you here anyway?' I got out of bed to find my knees in bandage and my right ankle in a guard. Pain shot right through my ankle as I tried to stand.

'Careful! Nico took care of that last night but it has not yet fully recovered.' Ash said while stretching her body. She had been sleeping on the edge of my bed apparently to look after me. What a sweet sister. I smiled.

'Wait! There's school today!' I thought.

'Yeah! But hang on! The clue wasn't really a clue. Michael was actually having some afternoon tea with colleagues.' Ash told me sadly.

'It's alright. We can find some other things.' I smiled.

I got dressed and the sprains and cuts did not hurt as much as it did before. I heal fast you see. Okay, maybe it was Nico's help. I owe him an apology.

'Naomi, erm I'm kind of getting a ride from Liam today so...' she trailed off mid sentence blushing.

'Fine. I can hitch a ride from the others. And what's up with that blush?' I teased, causing her to blush even a deeper red, 'Oh wait, I changed my mind. I don't want to know about it.'

Thank goodness I managed to hitch a ride from Cody. Too bad he has football practices that afternoon and couldn't come and pick me.

'Omg! What happened to you!' Delia rushed up to me and checked out my injuries.

'Just a minor trip.' I grimaced.

'Minor trip much?' Olivia asked skeptically.

'Today's the try outs for the track and field team. And there is only one try out!' Delia pointed out.

'Yeah, bummer. But the cheerleading team will take her then.' A new perky voice spoke.

'Who are you?' I turned around and saw a blonde with long hair tied up in a very high pony tail. Her white uniform was so translucent that her hot pink bra was visible Her button was two buttons unbuttoned up and showed much of her cleavage.
