The Bridge

Chapter 7 (infirmary)

I can't explain it to words, but I feel so sad when I remember about the pretty girl that Sean talked to yesterday. I went to school "as usual" and I sat on my desk.

It's 6:48 am and other students haven't come to school yet. Shane came with Jacob. "hey! have you asked him yet?" Shane asked me.

"no. he's still not here yet." I said.

"what? you should have just texted him or called him yesterday." Shane said

"I haven't asked his phone number."I said.

"what? you haven't exchanged phone number yet?"

Shane said in a loud voice. "don't be so loud!" I said while holding her mouth for her to shut up.

*Sean came in the room*

girl 1: good morning Sean!

Sean: good morning

Girl 2: Sean, who was the pretty girl with you yesterday? Is she your girlfriend

Sean: It's none of your business

Girl 2: humph. stingy. 

*teacher comes in the room*

"okay,class. get ready because we have a surprise quiz! go get your pen and paper right now. I will give you 2 minutes to get ready."

*what? so early in the morning?*

 we took the quiz and my score seems to be just fine.

"It's good that I know some of the questions" I said.

"what? why did you pass? I have a very low score." Shane said and I think she is about to cry.

"I think you should focus in your studies. I will not go near you until you make up for your low grades." Jacob said to Shane.

I think it's kind of sweet. he's going to endure not seeing Shane for a while just fo Shane.

"this is so unfair." Shane said.

" I think it's for your own good." Sean said.

"why did you suddenly appear out of nowhere?" I said in a loud voice. i was really shocked because he just appeared suddenly.

"What score did you get?" Jacob said.

Sean didn't speak and I grabbed his test paper. IT WAS A PERFECT SCORE! I think he didn't speak because we will think that he is just boasting. "What did you do to have a perfect score?" I said.

"I don't know. I always have a perfect score." Sean said.

" What are you? a robot or something?" Jacob said.

we talked and talked andtalked until the next teacher came. the class continued and I was just looking at Sean. I ust realized that I fell asleep and I had a dream.

* I saw the pretty girl with sean again *

Sean: I love you. let's be together forever

Pretty Girl : yes. Let's marry now and have babies.

Me: I don't know what expression I should make.

( I woke up )

*that was a terrible dream* what's with the babies? 

It was already lunch break when I woke up and everybody Is already eating thier lunch.

" hey, Graciel! Let's eat! I didn't woke you up because you seem to be having a good dream!" Shane said.

*what? a good dream? it's more like a nightmare!*  *sighs*

"what's wrong? why are you sighing?" Sean said.

"it's nothing." I said.

* I can feel It again! my heart is beating so fast! Sean Is talking to me and I  can't hear a word that he says because all I can hear Is my heartbeat! what's wrong with me?

"hey, are you okay?" Sean said.

I can't hear him clearly but i can quite understand him.

"yes, I'm fine thank you." * I wobbled and I fell on the floor. I feel so dizzy *

"hey, can you get up?" Sean said.

" yes, I can get up." I said.I tried to get up but my whole body feels like It's getting numb.

" I guess there's no choice." Sean said. he lifted me up and carried me like a princess . the girls were looking at me and they look like they were so angry.

"I can walk on my own. you don't have to carry me." I said.

"what? you can walk on your own? are you an idiot? don't mind what other people thinks. just relax and I will carry you to the infirmary." Sean said in a sweet tone. my heart began to beat so fast again and I feel like I can collapse any second now. we arrived at the infirmary and it seems like the nurse wasn't there. he placed me in the bed and he touched my forehead.

"I knew It. you have a fever. let me search for the school nurse and she will take care of you." Sean said and I nodded.

I slept again and when i woke up, he was sleeping in the chair beside the bed. I looked at him and he was sound asleep. he looks so cute.

I want to hug him but I couldn't do It. *he already have a girlfriend and she's really pretty. I can't do this.* I just poked his cheek and he woke up.

"sorry, did I wake you?" I said.

" It's alright. I was so worried about you." Sean said. * he hugged me *

 "what are you doing , sean?" i said.

" let me hug you just a little bit longer. I had a bad dream. I'm sorry." Sean said.

I played with his hair while he was hugging me. after 5 minutes, he released me and he said  "do you have someone you like?" ........ I was so shocked about his question. " I really like him but he seems to have a girlfriend. " I said. he stood up and walked away. I didn't know why. 

* dismissals * 

the boys and girls were so noisy again. I asked someone and said that the pretty girl is here again. I wento to the school gate and saw Sean. he was talking with her. I didn't come any closer because they seem to have a serious conversation.  the girl looks like she is about to cry and Sean have a serious face. 

what will happen? who is the pretty girl in Sean's life? what are they talking about amd have a serious atmosphere? If you want to know more, stay tuned and read the next chapter!
