Skinny Love

Chapter Three: Totally Normal

Matt's P.O.V

___________________________

I grabbed her hand and thought nothing of it. Suddenly I felt a buzz in my fingertips. My breath was leaving me. I heard voices that didn't belong to those around me. My vision blurred at the edges. Then she screamed and curled up on the floor.

"Mr. Tennant! Tumblr is down!" A girl screamed from the other side of the room.

"What?" My dad yelled.

"AVI IS ON THE FLOOR!!" She yelled back. I hadn't noticed that I was kneeling beside her still holding her hand as she thrashed back and forth. What do I do?

"MATT LET GO OF HER! LET GO OF HER NOW!!" My dad screamed. I let her hand go and she went limp. Everyone crowded around her. My dad came over and looked for a pulse.

"Matt take her to the nurse." He said, a grave look on his face.

"But----" I started.

"TAKE HER TO THE NURSE NOW!" He yelled. But then her eyes opened.

They opened but they weren't the vibrant brown they were this morning. They were a bright gold. They started to go out like a candle's flame. They returned to their normal state and everyone was crowding around her. She closed them again and her breathing was very abnormal. The buzz still hadn't left my fingertips. Why did I feel like I was connected to her somehow? Why was she so important? It didn't matter at the moment.

I took her into my arms. I can't lie, it was quite a task. She wasn't the lightest. I started to run through the halls of Ella Chi. Then I heard her whisper something.

"The walls are breaking. The stars are disappearing. The lost child of the sun will rise. She will rise with the only child of Gallifrey. Many will die. One will betray. Those kind are coming and we must prepare." She shook violently. I didn't know what she was saying but I knew that it was important. My thoughts were clouded. I couldn't comprehend anything.

Then opened her eyes.

"Where are we going? Why are you carrying me? What's wrong with me? What just happened? Oh hi Matt! Now I'd appreciate it if you just let me walk." I smiled and put her down. She wobbled a little.

"Haha don't worry! I swear I'm stable." She winked.

"Are you sure? You seem dizzy." I brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Her eyes were so big; so bright and beautiful.

"I'm fine. Thanks." She smiled her dimpled smile and once again my breath caught in my throat. I swallowed.

"What's your full name?" I asked and nearly punched myself. You don't just ask somebody that Matt! Ugh you dum---

"Avi Van Wreck. I know it's weird." She rolled her eyes.

"No, weird names are cool." I said. She laughed and I could see her blushing.

"What about you?" She asked. Poking me in the chest. It must've been a funny sight. I was a half a foot taller than her. She had to look up at me when she spoke. I chuckled at the thought.

"I am Matt Smith Tennant, doll face." She rolled her eyes.

"Nice name, Pretty Boy Smith." I laughed. She giggled.

"Wait where are we going?" She asked. I had totally forgotten we were going somewhere.

"Well you kind of had freaking seizure at the beginning of class and I was carrying you to the nurse." I told her. She looked at me with the most confused expression.

"All I remember is you grabbing my hand and suddenly I woke up with a bunch of people standing around me. Then I blacked out again and when I opened my eyes I saw your face." She said.

"A great thing to wake up to, innit?" I said laughing. She apparently didn't remember talking to me in her sleep.

She rolled her eyes.

"There's really no point in taking me to the nurse. I'm fine." She said as she walked into a locker.

"Ouch." She said, rubbing her arm.

"Now we have a reason to go to the nurse, don't we doll face?" I said.

"Whatever you say, Pretty Boy Smith."
