I blinked taking the surroundings. I saw many cupboard with a Red Cross and beige ceiling and walls. I'm lying on a hospital bed. What happened? Who brought me here? Is it true I'm going to play Juliet?

Millions of thoughts flashing inside my mind. My head hurts, I guess I bumped the floor too hard.

"Ahh, I see you're awake Ms. Étoiles you had a mild concussion. Good thing a handsome gentleman saved you. Ahh... good times, I remember the day someone carried me bridal style straight into the nurse's office. You are one lucky girl Ms--- " the nurse said while rambling, having a dreamy gaze.

As much as I love hearing a romantic story, I have more than enough having lovey-dovey drama this day.

"Ma'am, I was kinda wondering who brought me here," I said annoyed and confused at the same time.

"Ahh, eager I see," wiggling her eyebrows for effect "Well, I bet his name is Sean Vaughn, he carried you here. "

A part of me is happy while the other is sad. It's like it's expecting someone, another hero, a savior. But does that mean Sean likes me?

Nah! I'm too ugly and plain. Like Plain Jane.

"Oh," I blinked. "Uhm... Thanks, I really do appreciate your help. I better get going, don't want to miss class."

"Well, have a nice day Ms. Étoiles. Don't let that man escape from your grasp. I see he truly cares about you," she said with a wink and walked off to God knows where.

"Yeah, I guess," I mumbled and went out hastily, desperate to get out.

***

Got my excuse slip. I stared at it hard deciding if I'll go home immediately or face the music.

I'll just choose the latter. I also need to say thanks to Sean for helping me and carrying me. I felt really guilty I must have been very heavy since I eat a lot.

I walked in my History class. I saw Mrs. Walker discussing World War 2 and what major countries that's been affected mostly. I saw everyone staring at me, some curious and just some oblivious. Don't say I blame them. I'll probably do the same.

I saw Sean staring at me with concern and relief? He has an empty seat right across him, obviously saved just for me.

I looked away and turn my gaze to Luke. He is somewhat inspecting me as if I had a bruised or something. I noticed he also had concern in his eyes but he quickly looked away and shot me a smug smile.

What was wrong with him?

"Ms. Étoiles, please go take a seat next to Mr. Vaughn. Mr. Maxon informed me of you being his tour guide and all."

I nodded and proceeded to my chair. Plopping down, my head still freaking hurts. Mr. Walker proceeded to his lesson. Who wants to hear this? I already had a headache I don't want it to turn into a migraine. Although it okay I studied it advanced.

Perks of being smart.

"Psst! Psst! Psst!"

Who in the right mind dare to disturb me?!

I looked where the noise came from and I had my suspect, Sean.

"What do you want Sean?" I whisper-yelled. I'm in no mood to joke around right now.

"Woah there! I was just asking if you're okay no need to yell and as much as I don't like the arrangement best we will cope. I mean as your suitor my lovely Juliet I need to take care of you, mon amour," blushing at his words.
