As I walk into school, my eyes roam the corridors in search for my best mates. Calum, Luke and Ashton. Within a minute, I spot Luke who's already towering over most of the students here. I get closer and see he's talking to a girl. A really, really pretty girl I might add. Ash and Luke are quite popular with the ladies at our school, Calum and me... Meh, not so much.
"Hey man!", he says, "this is Alicia! Michael Alicia, Alicia Michael." I hold out my hand in order for her to shake it, but she just looks at it like I have some contagious disease. I feel awkward with my hand up like that so I quickly let it fall back to my side. Luke feels the awkward tension too, but just pretends he doesn't.
"So Al, I'll see you later! Come on Mike, we have PE first period."
I groan not so internally and Luke laughs at me while he pats me on the back. Then, unfortunately, we start walking towards hell.
"I hate PE almost as much as I hate you, you know", I tell him in all seriousness.
"No you fucking don't, shut up. You love me. I mean, look at me, I'm fabulous."
"Okay, okay, maybe I do. And I'm just gonna pretend you didn't just dramatically flipped your imaginary long hair. But I do really hate PE. All those sweaty teenagers, a teacher that's making me do something else than sit on my lazy ass all day. It's so tiring and takes so much energy!", I whine. Luke simply laughs again, "I know mate, I know." We walk into the locker room and of course are hit with the penetrating smell of sweaty guys. I cringe internally and change with my back to the rest of the guys. I've always felt somewhat insecure about my body and I don't want anyone making comment about it. Ash and Calum aren't in this class with me so I only have Luke to help me through it. When we're done getting ready, we head into the sports hall.
"Good morning everyone!", Mr. McKinnon's(where are my ADTR folks at?) voice booms through the room, "today we will be running laps. So please gather over there and warm up. You have five minutes, then we will begin." Luke cracks up again when he sees my face and I punch him on his arm. "Ow!", he calls out as he pretends to be in pain and he punches my arm back. "Asshole", I mutter as we approach the start. Luke continues to have a good time because of my misery and when Mr. McKinnon tells us to begin, we start running. Luke could easily pass me with his long legs and athletic posture, but he's being a good friend and running with me. Well, I don't know if you can call it running at this pace, but I'm honestly trying.
After only a few minutes of running my head is starting to pound and I feel lightheaded. Fatigue hits me and my legs can't carry me no longer. I stop running and rest my hands on my knees. I close my eyes and try to breathe normally, but I can't. I don't have my breathing under control, or so it seems. I feel a hand on my back and hear Luke's voice somewhere in the distance. "Dude, dude, oh god, are you okay? I don't know what to do! Help! Somebody, help!", that's the last I hear before I pass out.
**************************************************************************************************
When I open my eyes after an unknown period of time, I immediately close them again because of the bright light in the room. After a couple of seconds have passed by, I reopen them and see a concerned Luke pacing up and down the room and the nurse at her desk.
"Hey", I weakly say. Luke stops walking and looks up.
"Mike! Shit bro, are you okay? You really scared me back there!"
"Don't worry Luke, I'm okay. Just a bit of a headache."
It's then that the nurse speaks up. "Have you eaten this morning, Mr. Clifford?"
I awkwardly scratch my head and tell her no.
"Well, that's probably what's caused you to faint. Breakfast is important, don't skip it again", she lectures me. I mutter an "okay" and she informs me that my mom is on her way to pick me up.
"Alright mate, I have to get back to class. I grabbed your stuff, it's in your bag in the corner. Please keep me updated, yeah?" And with that he walks out and I close my eyes again, while I wait for my mom.
I must've fallen asleep, cause when I open my eyes later on I have no idea of what's going on and my head feels the same as last time I woke up. "Fuck", I mumble.
"Michael Gordon Clifford, don't let me hear that come out of your mouth again. Ever.", she tells me with a stern expression. Then her features soften, "oh sweetie, I heard with happened. You should really eat breakfast, I'm gonna check if you do from now on", she cups my cheeks and kisses my forehead, "let's get you home now."
We make our way to the car and the drive home is a silent one, which makes me feel grateful for I still have a headache. When we get home my mom helps me to my room cause I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Before she leaves the room she says she'll be back soon with some food. I get myself installed in bed and drift off to sleep without waiting for my food. I am so damn tired.
So, any thoughts? I hope you liked it. If you did please vote and comment ^^ So yeah, have an awesome day and/or night lovelies! Be your awesome self!
Much love xx
