A Beat in the Stars

Keith's POV

I woke up to my 4:30 alarm going off. I groaned and hit the dismiss. I noticed the call still going...oops I fell asleep before one of us ended it.

Lance- KEITH! I stayed up and kept you company, and you wake me up at this ungodly hour?

Me-*sounds sincere* Sorry my alarm goes off every weekday at this time because we go running on the track every morning before school starts. I fell asleep before I could end the call.-------

I was saddened when he hung up. I felt really bad. I noticed I was wearing his jacket. I blushed and slipped it in my backpack. I changed into my dance uniform that my mom actually took out of my bag and washed for me along with my uniform. I put my uniform in my gym bag and out my varsity jacket on and completed my morning routine. I grabbed my bags and ran out to Jason's car. "You okay? You seem kind of off," Jason asked. "Yeah just didn't get enough sleep," I mumbled and realized I forgot my medicine. SHIT!

Let's just say the day was grueling. Here are my classes:

7:15-8:15~ AP Pre-Calc.

8:19-9:19~ AP Chemistry 2

9:23-10:23~ AP English 3

10:27-11:27~ AP Goverment

11:31-12:00~Lunch

12:04-1:04~ AP Latin 3

1:08-2:08~ AP Music Theory

2:12-3:12~AP Writing

3:16-4:16~ Dance Team

We have our meetings during our 8th period, and practice is after that until 7. Our dance practice is like this: 4:20 till 5 is workout and more running, then the rest is dancing.

I was doing my homework at the park alone, everyone was done with theirs before me because of my head was spinning. I told them I was meeting someone afterwards so they went home without me. I finally finished a couple minutes later and rubbed my forehead. I put my books in my bags. I fixed my blazer over my body as the breeze blew a slightly cold breeze. Before you ask I didn't do practice today because my blood pressure lowered. I took off my tie and set it in my bag before getting up and walk towards the willow tree. I stumble and almost fall face first from lightheadedness. I was caught by someone grabbing me, looking up I meet their eyes noticing it was Lance. I was feeling faint as the second goes on, but I shake my head to try get rid of the feeling. 

Lance slowly lowered me to the ground. "I'm sorry," I mumbled. "For what? Not like you can help it?" Lance tried to lighten mood,but I still feel guilty for everything. "Hey are you alright? You didn't hurt anything did you?" Lance said. "No, I just feel bad for causing you so much trouble like this morning and now," I said quietly. "It's no trouble, alright? I wanna help you. I feel bad when I can't," Lance said with his head tilted to the left a little. I went to hand him with jacket just as a huge gust of wind blew causing me to shiver and whimper from the cold. "Keep it, I've got others," he said. "But isn't it your favorite? I can't keep it. I-It's your's," I said trying my best not to stutter too much from the cold. If you are wondering I accidently left my jacket in Jason's car and he promised to give it back tomorrow.

Lance shook his head and crossed his arms, "There is no way I'm taking it back now, so just put it on. I can hear your teeth chatter from here." "N-no I-I can't," I said trying to give it to him again. Lance takes it from me finally. However, he just wraps it around my shoulders leaving his arm around my shoulders for probably longer than he should have, but I enjoyed it. When he moved his arm away I had to physically restrain myself to not move towards the warmth. I was feeling so exhausted, that you could probably see it in my eyes. "I s-should g-get going," I mumbled and went to stand up but my legs gave out and Lance caught me once again. I went to apologize but Lance had pulled me onto his back and grabbed my bags and carrying me to my house. On the way there I fell asleep very quickly.
