Chapter 15

15 = I didn't mean to.

Sophia's POV
I felt guilty with what Darren said awhile ago. I just couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned. I decided to go to school tomorrow so that Darren will not be have a hard time dealing with his fans. I already took out my uniform for tomorrow and drifted off to sleep.

Next day~
I woke up early and did my morning routine. Ate breakfast and  left the house. I walked all the way to Darren's house bc his house was just 5 houses away from ours. Coincidence at it's finest, right? I arrived at his house around 6:54. I greeted his parents and waited for him. Why's he so slow? It's already 7:00 and our flag ceremony is at 7:25.

FINALLY, he came down 5 mins passed 7 and we left.

"Oh, okay ka na ba?" He asked me and I just nodded as a yes.

"Tell me the truth," He told me looking at me in the eyes. What does he mean? I mean I'm okay and all.

"You look pale." He said so I opened my phone to check myself. I DO look pale.

Sinat lang yan hehehe...

"No, I'm fine, Darren. I won't be going to school today if I weren't better." I said replying him, walking.

"Why do you need to accompany anyway when you can still rest?" He asked me.

"Well, I got guilty when you told me you got swarmed by your fans. I just don't want you to have a hard time dealing with them." I said continuously. I looked at him and he smiled at what I said.

"Awww, thank you bestfriend!" He said, facing to me and while pinching my cheeks.

"Darren, stop it." I rolled my eyes and laughed. I looked at my watch and it said 7:15.

10 minutes, Oh Dear.

"Let's go." I said to him, holding his hand and ran. He asked me why and said we were going to be late. We arrived to school at 7:20. Went to our classroom and placed our bags and went down again for the flag ceremony. After managing to survive without drinking water after running, we 'apir-ed'

"Good job, bestfriend!" We both said in unison, doing the high fives. We stayed in that position for 10 seconds and he held my hand and intertwined it. Uhh, this is awkward.

"U-uh, D-Darren, the flag ceremony's starting." I said, taking my hand. Too much awkwardness.

~_~

We did the usual rituals and went back in the classroom.

Lunch Break
I don't feel well. Meh, it's nothing. I saw him walking with the tray. I decided to help him but thought, That was a bad idea.

Darren's POV
When I got near the table, I saw Sophia walking towards me, helping me with the tray, but as soon as she placed the tray, she quickly fainted. Good thing I caught her quickly. I told her that I could manage and she didn't need to go to school to accompany me. Well, she didn't listen to me. I took her quickly to the clinic, brought our water and her bag.

We quickly got to the clinic and layed her on the bed–thing. A nurse came to check her temperature. She still has fever. I knew it, but she didn't listen to me.

A few minutes later she woke up and the nurse told her to go home. That she's excused. The nurse also said that I should accompany her since her parents were not around. I was also excused. So, here I am now walking with her under her umbrella, going towards her house. As soon as we got inside, I got her water and medicine. Got a basin and put cold water in it. She changed her clothes into a more comfortable ones. She looks pale.

"Hey, how about I cook you lunch? We didn't ate lunch a while ago." I said to her, looking for noodles or soup.

"You don't have to do this," She said coldly.

"I am not a child anymore. I can handle myself now." She finished. Well, she wouldn't be more sick if she didn't go to school with me.

"Well, this wouldn't happen if you wouldn't force yourself to go to school! I can also handle my self and I can handle them!" I said, keeping it together but failed.

"Well, I didn't mean to! I did it because I care for you! And I thought you would appreciate that! And you don't need to shout anyways, geez." She shouted back and locked herself in her room.

Time passed by and I needed to go home. Her parents are here anyways.
