   "Well, not bad. This girl sure is pretty. Why hide in glasses when she sure is the prettiest one in this school?",he said looking at her who was still unconscious.

   She felt her head was throbbing with pain....her brows furrowed as she try to open her eyes.

  The ceiling was white, the lights were on. There were white curtains and why is she laying in bed? Could she be dreaming?

She rubbed her forehead and groaned when she touched the part where the ball landed.

  "Damn! That hurts!"

   She opened her eyes widely and saw someone sitting beside the bed where she was lying but still her vision was blurry.

   He was mesmerized when she opened her eyes...damn! Those were beautiful set of blue eyes emphasized with her long lashes.

  He came back to his senses when he heard her speak...

   "Um...you're in the clinic...look im..",he wasn't able to finish...

  The clinic? What happened? She asked herself. She began to feel the pain on her forehead....

   Wait....that voice....i've heard it before...when exactly...

  She tried looking at him but to her dismay her vision was blurry.

   He wasn't able to finish what he was saying. She was looking at him with her brows furrowed and wrinkled her forehead ..she looked like as if an old woman who cannot see clearly leaning closer.....she looked hilariously ridiculous and funny...

   He burst into laughter looking at her....

   "What? What's funny? Where are my glasses? Hey! Who are you?",she was so confused as to why she was in the clinic and why would he suddenly laugh.

  She reached out her hand on the table and felt her glasses. To her surprise, the person sitting beside her was no other than the man from this morning.

  "You!",she said pointing angrily at him.

   "What have you done to me! Ugh!!!! Of all the people!!!",she said irritatingly.

   "Hey, i was the one who brought you here! Atleast you should be thankful about it.",he said with crossed arms.

   "Saved me? What happened? I was walking and someone shouted..."

   "Who hit me!?", she sat exclaiming then groaned due to the pain.

   "Let me explain first. We were playing soccer then i missed the goal so...you see...the ball went right to your forehead.",he explained.

   "What!? You....arrrgh!!!",she tried controlling her anger. Well she know accidents do happen so instead of wasting her strength getting mad, she lay back to her bed and looked up the ceiling. All her life she really is unlucky...not to mention A BIG DISAPPOINMENT.

   She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

  "Look im so sorry. I didn't mean to.",he said.

  "Yeah yeah. I know."

   And they spent the rest of the afternoon in the clinic in silence.

On the next day.

  "These are the results of your exam last week."the professor said handing them their test papers. He stopped beside Tracy and said, "Congratulations Ms. Su. You're on top once again. Keep up the good work.",he said tapping her shoulders and gave a thumbs up then went back to the front and faced the whole class. "Now, i do hope you take your exams seriously. If your scores are too low, don't get discouraged, instead, use it as a stepping stone for you to strive harder. Do your best. You guys can do it! Good job everyone!" And as soon as  the teacher finished this, everyone in the class clapped their hands.
