The Shards within our souls by Penelopesart

Stranger

The door finally opened, and I barge in.

  I look around for a sign of movement or even a person.But i don't see anyone, I'm confused I thought they said there was someone here-My attention was taken by the figure sitting on the desk, laying their head down, face still not visible.

  How irresponsible, it's irritating.Although, I don't recognize this person, I don't think she is a student.Yes, I just assumed it's gender.She is wearing what seems to be a light frosty blue doll dress with long sleeves that are not attached to the dress.The sleeves end with diamond cuts when they meet the hands.I think they are supposed to be gloves.She has socks and tall boots and-just a weird fashion look.Maybe she was  emo? I don't know.

"Excuse me.." I started to approach the person in a rather friendly way.I know from experience, people can be cranky after they wake up, especially in this situation.The person shifts, and turns.She is awake.

"Hey, I'm sorry.But this isn't a place to take a nap.You should know bett-......er.."

Is that a tail?! it's moving, it's an actual tail.
"I um-ahh" i bumped into the desk behind me as I try to step back.

"H-hey...um is that-"

*cough* *cough*

*Cough*

The last was rather aggressive, I think she might be sick. "Hey, are you alright-t? I can get you the nurse if you'd like.."

That's when it hit me.

There in the desk, were the poor girl was struggling to catch her breath.Covered by her arm, blood flows through the desk, down to the cold floor.

She's not alright.

"Oh my god!" This time without thinking twice, I rushed to the girl picking her upper half up and just held her. Now the source of the blood was visible. Blood flowed out her nose.Blood also cane from her forehead, i think. It was covered by her bangs.

"Hey, are you alright?! Can you hear me?!?"

She has pale skin and the most beautiful silver crystal eyes, they were slanted cat eyes too. Just who is she..

"R-R-.." she struggled to speak

"R-River.." she whispered.What does she mean? What river? Did something happen at this river.I can't get any information from her now.I need to help her.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I got you! I'll help you, here lean on me"

She hesitated, but then gave in.

"I'll get you help, lets go" I start to walk out the classroom, prepared to get help from the crowd waiting outside, but never thought..

"Help! Anyone, get the nurse.She's injured!" I screamed in an alerting tone.But all I got in return were stares, looks of confusion.

"What are you all doing?!?? Help me!!" And then it happened, people started laughing.How, how can they..How dare they?!

"You assholes!! how dare you laugh, this is serious!" I got a few disgusted looks.I don't understand, why is everyone so cruel..this poor girl..she..she needs help.And people are just laughing, laughing at her!

"Tsk."

" What's going on?!" Mrs.Patterson, our math teacher says "What are you doing?!"

"Mrs.Patterson, please help me, she's hurt and bleeding and needs medical attention, I tried getting help but nobody will help me and she needs help now!"

"Mrs.Green, who needs help?! What girl?!" She asked struggling to understand

"She does, I don't know her name, she needs help now!!" I screamed loosing my patience.

"Who?! Where is she?!?" She raises her voice at me, kind of annoyed.

"OH MY GOD, THE GIRL IM CARRYING OF COURSE!!" I lost it, what was so hard to understand?! Are they blind?!?

"Mrs.Green, have you lost your mind?" The teacher asked, in a harsh tone "What kind of joke is this?"

"N-no I'm not..she..here.. we need to-"

"Mrs.Green!"

   I payed my attention and then she said it.Words I never thought I would hear.I could feels my eyes going wide and the sudden feeling of fear, but I didn't feel threatened, there was nothing to be afraid of.Everyone was staring at me, they probably thought I was crazy.It feels so real, and I know it's real.I start to let go of the girl I thought was there.But she tighten her grip on my arm.I was shocked.I looked at her and she smiled in a comforting way.She's here.This is real!

She's real.
