Karma (Wendip)

9. Bridal Style

Hey, sorry I couldn't update earlier.

The school came into view.

It seemed like heaven compared to the awkward and tense atmosphere on the bus.

It was as if the boys on the bus were ready to kill me at any moment, and the girls on the bus were ready to beat me to a pulp.

I was practically scared for my life.

Just as the doors opened, I rushed out.

Screw waiting till everyone got out! I need to run!

I knew that if I was caught by Robin, who was undoubtedly chasing me with a growing herd of students behind her, I wouldn't live to see the next day.

That's a lie... I just would wish I wouldn't live to see the next day...

She has that impact.

Before I know it, I'm cornered. The school outer-wall behind me, and a- surprisingly- small crowd of people before me. Robin is, of course, standing in front of them. She was only a few feat away.

As if to make me even more intimidated, and it was working, she stepped closer, emphasizing her height, which was a foot taller than me...

"Thought your could run, squirt?"

I didn't answer. I mean, it's not like if I did, it would make anything better.

"Leave... all of you..." Robin said, gesturing for everyone behind her to depart. There were groans, grunts, and grumbles, but with a glare from Robin, they all complied.

"Now then..." she looked at me; like a snake looking at a mouse. She was hungry, and my blood was the only thing that could quench it.... and maybe some biscuits... off topic, I know.

"Let's get started." And with that, she raised her clenched hand, ready to throw a punch.

I could see it coming before it even came. I knew it would hurt; it would hurt real bad...

I closed my eyes, tensing at the prospect of not being able to see it coming, and waited.

"WHAT do you think your doing to my friend?"

I screamed like a little girl, jumping up and hopping away, all the while with my eyes closed.

Wendy?

I peek through one eye, and see Wendy standing in front of me. Her arm was stretched out in front of me, as if to protect me. She looked at me, a little... shocked... probably at my unpredicted totally-manly shout.

How the heck did I not hear her?

"Wendy..." Robin glowered.

"Robin." Wendy replied.

It was like two cats fighting... silently... with their eyes. It was not pretty. At any moment, any of their claws could come out... literally.

"Dipper, stay behind me." Wendy whispered.

I nodded, even though she couldn't see with her eyes trained on Robin.

Robins eyes flickered to me menacingly, and in that moment, Wendy made her move. She dashed forwards, clutching onto Robins waist and ramming Robin into the ground, before tucking and rolling away.

Wendy stood in a battle stance as Robin swiftly got up, also getting into a battle stance.

These women are like ninjas! How did Wendy move like that?

Robin stood still, as well as Wendy.

I didn't see it coming. It was obviously a mistake on Wendy's part, though I would never say that.

Robin turned around, and before we could react, she sucker punched me in the eye.

What was worth it to go through all of this, just to punch me?! That huuuuuurts!

I topple to the ground, groaning in agony. I didn't want to writhe in pain, not in front of Wendy. I didn't want her to think of me as weak...

I know it's not a very good moment to try and impress her. I mean, Robin is twice my size and is one of the best athletes in school!

"Dude! You okay?"

"Yeah, y-yeah. Fine; I'm fine, thanks." I groaned out.

"Dude, your not okay. You need the nurse. I'll get you there."

I could only say a quiet yes.

She hooked her arms under my back and legs and picked me up. If I weren't in so much pain, I would have been both offended and embarrassed.

One: I was not a girl. I should not be picked up bridal style. And two: I SHOULD NOT BE PICKED UP BRIDAL STYLE!

Wendy jogged to the nurses office. On the way there, we got questioned by staff and students alike. None, of course, questioned for my well being. They all just wanted to know if Wendy was alright.

It hurt me more emotionally than physically. Like, add one to physical, then multiply it exponentially... over and over again... that's how bad my emotional state is.

"Hello... oh..." the nurse said as Wendy barged in.

"Bring him here please. What seems to be the probl-" she clears her throat when she notices my eye.

"I see."

If you notice any mistakes I may have made or missed in this chapter, please notify me in the comments.

Also, I am sorry for such a short chapter today. I will try to make a better and longer one tomorrow.
