The Bookworm Girl

18. Am I Being Arrested?..

   I walked into PreCal only being two seconds early! Only two fuzzy seconds.

" Detention." I pinned my head to fast to the teacher. Detention? He's not talking to me is he? Please no. Please be another student. I have a perfect record, well almost. I starred at him as he gestured for me to have a seat but I just froze there and everyone started laughing at me.

" Two Detentions." Huh? Wait did I just hear two, as in two detention?!. Oh bummer. His eyes narrowed at me as I stared back shocked, he looked at my seat, then back up at me. Take a seat Isabel, my mind told me. I slammed my body down on my seat. 

" Three now. As I was saying.." He continued on as I stared down at my clammy hands, a headache started, I felt dizzy for a bit, but it soon faded, but headache was getting worse by the minute.  

I groaned. 

   Roy decided to stay home today since he wasn't feeling well at all, Toby's at school, parents are at work. But something felt off, I started to panic and I quickly got up with my stuff and dashed off to the girls restroom. 

   I opened one of the stalls and locked it and I pulled my legs up to my chest as tears streamed down my face. I fiddled with my clammy hands, scraping them along my arms- I felt claustrophobic. 

   After about an hour the announcements went off and I was still in the stall.

" Isabel Angel  report to the office." My eyes widen. I've never had to go up to the front office. I know i'm not supposed to be picked up, so this can't be good. I got up slowly, my legs still shaking as I tried to fix my hair. 

It honestly looks like i've been running around in mud.

   I quickly did a french braid, pulled up my glasses and ran to the office.

I walked to the attendance lady- I believe her name is Sharon and asked her where I had to go. You know where that was? The principles office. My panic settled in again. I'm already having  a bad day, what could possibly be worse. 

   I slowly walked in his office and saw two police officers and  a pity look on my principles face. I took a deep breath.

"Y-yes? I-I was c-called u-up h-here." I fiddled with my hands. My principle knew about my attacks, though I made him promised to never tell my mother or father about them, because I just wanted to be a normal person.

" Your not in trouble Isabel." I sighed, what a relief.

" Ma'am.- the man took his hat off, and the woman next to him, i'm assuming his partner- We are terribly sorry to inform you that your parents have been in an accident." Everything stopped. I heard my heart beat was all I heard before my eyes rolled to the back of my head and everything went black.

          _.-^*^-._.-^*^-._

    I woke up to yelling, a familiar yelling which was from Lilly.

"What the BEEP are you saying? Me to calm now absolute BEEP, do not tell me to shut my trap because Doctor Fillie I won't. Not until you tell me why the BEEP my sister is laying unconscious on a BEEP hospital bed!" Their was a pause and several muttered voices. My headache was coming back again- I groaned, just go away you dumb headache, go bother some other person.

   Then it clicks, my parents have been in an accident and I fainted. My parents, I heard the beeping noise click faster and faster and soon I heard faint frantic voices.

" Why is her heart beating so fast!" Or " What the BEEP get a doctor!" Or " Isabel it's okay, just open your eyes and i'll go away." That voice was Tally, but she didn't know about my parents, or my real parents, nothing. I kept her hidden in the shadows way too long. I started crying, and opened my blurry eyes to see six outlines of humans in the room. When my vision somewhat clears I see the doctor.

" C-can I ( I take a huge gulp) see my p-parents?" The doctor stared down at me looking confused.

" Your parents di-" Well here goes my secret.

" My foster parents." He nodded. I quickly got up, but almost fell over from my lose of balance and I felt a surge of dizziness waver over me. 

"Hey it's okay I got you." Roy, my body burst from his touch- ignore it Isabel it's nothing- I told myself. He grabbed my waist and helped my stand up straight as we walked out of the room with nurses yelling from behind. Roy helped me over to their rooms- the doctor leading us. 

   I walked into the room only to gasp at the sight. No, their wasn't a red blanket or a bunch up red gushing liquid, like in some cliche book or movie- no this was worse. Their in front of me was my foster mothers body covered in a white sheet, and everyone knows what that means. 

" We tried to operate on her, but it was too late, I'm very sorry for your loss." Tears streamed down my face faster then any other time I cried other than my biological parents and my little brother and sister.

" Wh-what about m-my d-d-dad?" His face dropped.

" He lost too much blood, he passed away before he arrived at the hospital, I'm very sorry." My whole family's gone, now my biological parents- what on earth am I gonna tell Toby?-Toby! where is he?!!

" Where's Toby?" 

"At School, I believe ma'am." I sprinted out of the hospital- just joking, I hobbled away until Ryan carried me bridal style which was way more quicker.

" Seeds?"

" Yes?" I met his royal flushed eyes.

" You weigh like paper, how much do you weigh again?" I slap his arm and pouted at him.

" Sorry, I don't know why I slapped you. But a man never asks a girl their weight." He scoffed.

"Who's says i'm a man?" I gaped at him- what do I say?

" Ugh?" He rolled his eyes.

" I'm a gentleman Seeds, now lets go get Toby. So what's your weight?" 

" Ninety seven pounds." I mumble.

" What? No wonder your a feather." Um, is that a compliment or not?

" Is that a compliment?" I ask.

" Yes, to you and me." Of course it has to be about himself.
