"You sure you're alright?" Keegan asked worriedly as I sat on the bed, cracking my knuckles. I nod.

I was currently in the nurse's office, she went to call Merida to inform her what happened to me and that Keegan was going to drive me back home.

It wasn't like I had any broken bones but both the nurse and Keegan sure acted like I did. I feel sort of lightheaded, no concussion but I'm pretty sure I just bruised my ribcage and my neck since it was hurting a little.

Once I was able to get up from the floor with Keegan and another guy's help, I picked the boy up and we took him to the nurse's office where she immediately got a wet rag and took care of him.

Surprisingly he's still out and it's almost been an hour, he must have some kind of anxiety or something. School had already been past over and my plan failed as to getting home early. Now I'm not sure I can leave without seeing the boy wake up.

The nurse, Mrs. Holland, strolls over to Keegan and I. "That's a relief you're alright, your mom is informed. It was really brave of you to do such a kind act but you need to also do it in a much safer way. You both could of broken bones... or worse."

I nod once again and she smiles. "Well, you're all set. You both may go home."

I glance back at the boy who was laying on a bed across from me.

I cough awkwardly. "Could you... just tell me if he's alright tomorrow?"

"He's a friend?" She tilts her head to the side.

Huh?

"No... I never met him before," I mutter as I scratch the back of my neck. "I just..."

Damn, I hate tripping up like this.

She lightly laughs and so does Keegan, except he gave me smirk and a pat on the shoulder. I pull away, annoyed.

"You just care for Mr. Caudill then? If you'd like, you're more than welcome to stay until he wakes. That's if you want to," She suggests. "His father is on his way to pick him up."

"No, it's fine."

"It's okay if you want to," Keegan joins in. "I can tell mom to pick you up later, she works late."

Seriously, I just met this boy. I really didn't need to stay, I just asked if she could tell me how he is tomorrow.

"Well, then you'll stay." Keegan says making the decision for me and I scoff, grabbing at his arm.

"No dude, it's fine. I'm not staying for someone I don't know." I argue back and the nurse sighs, growing impatient.

"Cade, sweetie, why don't you just stay? He'll be confused when he wakes up anyways."
