Keith's POV
***************

     It's finally the time to stuff our faces with totally healthy nutrients at the school cafeteria.

I sit between my table of friends and my mind is slowly drifting to other thoughts.

My fingers start to move all over my face to check if my bleeding stopped from earlier.

Damn you Crystal June.

How could you be so goddam gorgeous and annoying at the same time?

My thoughts are cut off by an annoying snicker coming from the end of the cafeteria.

"Keith!" She says while smiling and ruining over to our table.

Everyone guy at my table starts gawking and whistling at her.

Yuck.

What can they find attractive in her?

I fix my jacket and stand up. I'm not going to be here for Jasmine's tantrum about me being confused about our relationship, that doesn't even exist.

God, I wish I could travel in time and see how that female would end up at last.

*************

I am walking down this hallway for about five minutes now when I hear a loud thud coming from my left.

I pace slowly to the direction of the sound to see Crystal lying on the ground with her papers scattered everywhere.

She is on the ground in an area completely hidden from the cafeteria. No one could stumble upon her by accident.

I rush over to her an cup her face in my hands.

"Crystal," a long silent pause comes after that and I repeat a little louder,"Crystal?"

I start to worry and my breathing becomes heavy.

I quickly carry her to the nurse's office to find no one in there.

One student enters the room and gasps, eyes flickering from Crystal to me.

"What are you looking at?! Get us a freaking nurse you freak!" I shout at the student.

The student rushes out and returns with a nurse.

****************

"Crystal?" I say while whispering.

"Huh?" She replies to me with her soothing voice.

She sits silent for a moment and inhales deeply, like she's trying to get something from air.

Her inhalation is cut off by a cough. She opens her mouth to say something, but raises an eyebrow at me instead.

"Why are you here?" says Crystal in a sharp tone.

"Crystal you passed out," I say calmly to her.

"Isn't bullying me for 4 years enough?!" She raises her tune.

"Crystal I-"

"Why are you helping me?" She grips the bed sheets tight.

What the hell is happening to her?

She looks the other way and mumbles something under breath.

She looks back at me as if grew two more heads and and an arm.

"Keith?" She says loudly.

I raise an eyebrow at her and get up to call a nurse.
*****************

After the whole "Crystal is crazy tantrum," she got so fed up she barged out of the room.

Letting out a soft chuckle, I decided I would follow her trouble maker butt.

I followed her into the girls bathroom and yes, I'm well aware of how much trouble I can get into if I get caught.

She started talking in the mirror and I can't help but feel sympathy for her.

The way she talks, the way she laughs, the way she acts, just everything is attractive about her.

Seeing her a few hours ago in that hallway was nothing but a miserable memory.

I wasn't really paying attention to what she said until the last part caught my attention.

"Nothing happened to you, that's just another one of your nightmares," said Crystal while inhaling through her teeth.

"Or is it?" I said while leaning against one of the stalls.

She jumps a bit and curses under her breathe while a smirk forms on my lips.

"What do you know about nightmares?" she tells me while looking at me through the mirror.

"More that you think," I sigh.

"Enlighten me," She says while turning back to me.
