I flinched, expecting Arnold's fist to deliver impact so strong that my teeth would come off with a single blow. But it didn't happen. I opened my eyes and saw true friendship. Arnold's fist had landed on Edward's cheek instead of mine. Edward had taken a punch for me. But why? I deserved to be punched. Heck, I don't even deserve to be alive. I was fat, ugly, useless and put simply, a waste of space. At least that was what Arnold had told me. So why did Edward do that? I questioned myself while watching Edward's teeth shaking and slowly falling off.
An irate look. Clenched fists. Boiling blood. With that, Edward pushed Arnold away. Arnold fell on the concrete ground, severely damaging the back of his head. He pushed himself back up and stared at Edward with a look of detest. Then he glanced at me and said,"I'll deal with you later, punk." Edward started throwing punches rapidly and aimlessly, shouting,"NO ONE MESSES WITH MY FRIEND." Arnold managed to dodge most of them, but some struck him very hard. He retorted with a powerful kick. I walked off in search of help as World War 3 followed between Arnold and Edward.
"BOYS! STOP IT!" Shouted Mr.Hall, the Home Economics teacher. I had gone and brought him to the fight site, and on the way, I had told him a lie. "Arnold punched Edward for no reason. Edward didn't do anything wrong."
Mr.Hall pulled Arnold away from Edward, and I almost fainted at what I saw. Arnold was biting onto a large bit of flesh. I turned to face Edward, and at that point, my vision started going black. Edward was clutching a big hole in his arm. The hole had a long, white bone sticking out. Edward's eye was completely filled with blood. I staggered backward, my mind swirling, with shallow breaths until I fell upon the floor like a sack of onions.
I sat up, my eyes adjusting to the brightness. It took longer than usual to adjust because I woke up in a place that was completely white. It was like looking at Donald Trump's hair through a microscope. I looked around, wondering where I was. Then sudden realization hit me hard like Justin Bieber hit on Selena Gomez. I was in the sick room!
I tried recalling why I was there in the first place. Did I hit my head? Or did something else happen? All I could remember was some sort of fight happening before I passed out. I remembered seeing loads of blood and gore. I thought long and hard. Nothing. I couldn't remember the reason I was in the Sick Room.
"Are you feeling better?" I heard the school nurse ask, the sick room door closing behind her. She was dressed in a white hat, white dress, white gloves, white socks, and white shoes. Great, I thought. More white.
"Um," I said dumbly. "Sorry, I can't tell if I'm feeling better. I don't know how I felt before I got here. So I can't make a comparison. Do you mind telling me why I'm here?"
"You don't remember? Well, there was a fight-"
"A fight?" I interrupted.
"Yes, between Edward and Arnold. Mr.Hall brought you in and told me you had fainted," the nurse said. I gave a start at the mention of the two names, but still didn't remember anything.
"Thanks. May I leave?" I asked. She said yes, and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back, grabbed my backpack, and left the room. For the first time in my life, I was glad to see other colors that weren't white.
I was greeted by a cool autumn breeze, and the smell of grass. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a lady dressed in white (I cringed and sighed at the sight) tying a boy's hand with bandages (which were also white, causing more pain). His hand had a deep hole in it, and there was a bone sticking out. I almost fainted, but I looked away and thought of rainbows. The nurse rubbed a bit of some liquid from a bottle on his other injuries. Nearby, there was another boy, getting shouted at by Mr.Hall. I was a bit curious about what was going on there, but I didn't know those boys, meaning it didn't concern me. I exited the school, trying to remember who the two boys the nurse had mentioned were.
I walked back home, the screaming of the boy with the hole in his hand echoing behind me.
~The End~
