When strangers become friends..

Chapter 8

Janines POV

Oh my god it is finally over!

I sighed relieved as soon as the bell rung to signal the end.

I never liked maths..I just wrote the stuff on the board down while I listened to the same people as always. One person I hear often talking is Candice..I had to admit that her voice is calming somehow but I asked myself every time how can she be that smart in every subject? It's unbelievable...

I walked alone over to our gym. I had the option to wait for Monica or someone but actually, I was a loner. And I liked it because when you are alone, you can think about stuff without getting interrupted. I wasn't really looking forward to the next hours because I won't be able do sports..my leg still hurted..I regretted a bit what I did a week ago.

Without motivation, I threw myself against the door of the cubicle because I didn't think that someone might be already there. That was why I jumped up a bit shocked as I saw a girl with dark blonde hair sitting there with a sketchbook..until I realised that it was Candice. "Oh my god..pheeew", I chuckled as I saw the questioning look in her eyes. "Sorry.. I didn't mean to scare you..", she said in a low voice but I could see that she was close to smile. "Uhm it's alright I just thought for a second that here is a serial killer or someone so I was..surprised? ", I responded with a chuckle. Now the smile was clearly visible on her face and she seemed to relax so I sat down towards her.

I took out the paper which the doctor gave me and read it again. As I uplifted my eyes, I saw the question in her eyes.

I sighed and said "I am excused for the next weeks...I..uhm..had a kind of an accident" and added a smile to ease the situation.

But it didn't seem to work because she raised an eyebrow and repeated "A kind of an accident? What kind?"

I didn't know what to answer but thankfully right then Monica opened the door and I greeted her with a "Hiii!" and gave Candice an excusing smile and she nodded.
