Knowing the Bad Boy

"will he be okay?" I asked from the corner as I watch the school nurse tend to his wounds and bruises.

"this aint the first time this kid's brought here to be treated" the school nurse despite her grumpy face(well she's always frowning) treated Regis's wounds gently.
He's still out anyway so I doubt he would feel the sting from the alcohol.
"he should be fine"

I sigh in relief after hearing that. I didnt even thought it was him who was laying on the ground because he was laying faceflat. Luckily I spotted the janitor taking out trash from the window outside so I hurriedly called unto the janitor for help.

"will you be staying here too?"

"ah no, no. I still have class"

"okay. I'll make you a pass. Wait there for a sec."

"okay. thank you"

***********************
After my Biology class, I told Andy everything that happened.

"so how was he then?" Andy asked with knitted eyebrows.

"the nurse said he'll be fine"

"they said he ditched morning classes again"

I looked at Andy with a curious gaze.
"really?"

"maybe he got into a fight this morning?" Andy pondered.

I pondered also the same thing. It's plausible though but what I couldnt grasp is that why is he always picking a fight inside and outside school grounds. He's known to be a delinquent since first yr. and I jus got here last yr. and now we're on our third so I just practically known him for a yr. through the rumors going on around him. Not even once did I see him with someone. There were rumors that he slept around about any girl but I doubt those were true. He's always scowling and glaring in school and people are afraid to go near him. Maybe he just wants to be alone?

"hellooo..Raquel, you there?"

"huh?" I looked at her perplexed. " and stop waving your hand infront of my face"
I slap her hand away.

"ouch" Andy pouted. "but you were spacing out just now"

I scoff and avert my gaze through the window down the field that is currently occupied by baseball and track n field players. Its nearly 4 and we're down to our last subject which is Literature.

Suddenly, someone caught my attention.

"Isnt that Regis?" I asked no one in particular.

"huh? where?" Andy immediately got up from her seat and look out the window on Regis's direction.
"is he going at the back? wait, is he ditching last subject, again?"

Now that I think about it, we do have Literature together, but not just that, we also have Geometry and Biology together, because he almost always ditch class that I kinda forgot that we were classmates.

I didnt know what have gotten into me that moment, but I was out in a flash and running down the halls at my maximum speed which isnt that maximum by the way.

I didnt know what I was doing, but I have to catch up to that bad boy.
