Chapter Two
My ears start ringing and my head starts throbbing. The tears don't seem to come, but my eyes are stinging.
My heart starts beating fast and my hands become sweaty. The room won't stop spinning and my stomach starts cramping.
Instantly, I stand up, the room beginning to spin faster.
"Oh God no." I whisper to myself, suddenly experiencing a short of breath. I feel myself cough a little but don't hear anything.
Something cold grips my arm and I pull away quickly, tripping over my feet and onto the ground.
"Angelina?" my teacher's familiar voice says.
I take deep short breaths and find myself hyperventilating.
This can't be happening. He couldn't leave me this way. He can't say he loves me and just leave like this.
I gasp for breath and grip at my hair, closing my eyes tight to stop the spinning and the burning ache in my left ankle, probably from falling.
"Angelina! Breathe!" a deeper voice yelps.
I open my eyes and blink a little, the world coming back into focus.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I repeat and try to breathe slower.
Adam's face is the first one I see, his extremely blue eyes piercing into my mind.
"Hey," he says, smiling a bit to calm me.
"Hey," I say softly, pressing the palm of my hand against my forehead, "I'm sorry."
"I know. It sucks. For all of us," he says.
My teacher kneels down and offers for Adam to take me to the office so I can sit down.
I nod slowly and walk out into the hallway as Adam closes the door behind him.
"Okay. I probably have about 20 minutes if I say you fainted in the hallway, so I have time for you to explain that whole scene to me." he says.
I sigh and scratch behind my head. "I don't really want to talk about it. I'm sorry."
He nods and shrugs, "I can respect that, I guess."
I smile politely and start to walk off towards the office, noticing the world wasn't quite spinning as much.
