A bright light. I can see it shining in my eyes. "Am I dying?" I hear a chuckle.  "No dear your not dying you just had a little mishap" I blink and cover my face " Why the fuck are you shining that in my face?". " First off watch your language, second because I had to check for a concussion in which you have Ms. Everson."
I groan and try to sit up but everything spins. " I wouldn't do that yet" I hear her voice again and my heart beats faster . I look to the left of the nurses cot and I see the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. I realize I'm staring when she gives me a worried look " Are you okay?" I try to say yes but I can't make words I'm speechless. I shake my head yes and try to hide the blush creeping up my face.
"Well since I'm the reason your in here might as well have the dignity to introduce myself.  I'm Emery Jones.  I'm new here just transferred for my senior year. I'm rather clumsy as you can tell. " She looks down with a blush on her face. She's biting her lip in what seems to be a nervous habit.  It's making it hard to think straight.( Pun intended)
" umm.. nice to meet you Emery I'm Katara Everson as you probably already know and I've been in this hell hole since I was a kid. I'm also a senior." I flash her a smile which makes her smile. Wow she's breathtaking.
I hear someone clear their throat I turn to see the school nurse Ms.  Terrell. " Ms. Everson I have called your mother to inform her you have had an accident" The smile falls from my face and I stare at her with wide eyes " w-why did y-you call my mother ma'am??" I'm shaking at this point, why me?. " I'm sorry but it's school protocol " she turns and leaves the room leaving me wanting to crawl under a rock and die.
" Katara?"  I turn my head and look at Emery. " Are you okay? Your looking pale". I can't say a word.. I'm shaking tears come to my eyes. "Y-yes I'm fine .." She gives me a dirty look . " I know something is wrong what is i-"
She's cut off by the door opening showing us my mother and Ms. Terrell. " Time to get you home dear." I look up into my mother's eyes filled with hate and that grim smile.
As we walk out of the school I look back to see emery watching us with sad eyes. I flash her the best smile I can muster up and then continue out to my mother's Kia. The whole way home I look out the window and pray . Someone please save me...
