Hi guys sorry I've been so inactive for the past couple of months. I still have that list of requests to write! I'm slowly working my way through them - as in coming up with rough story lines. My main issue at the moment is I can't get this story out of my head so I've decided to write it down and thought I might as well post it - I've written quite a lot of it actually, I'm considering putting it into a separate book cause it's so long but I can't decide. It's going to be a tough story to get through I'm afraid, so if you want to skip it, please feel free.

Tough content

My phone buzzed in my bag. The school nurse flashed a look back, but ignored it. I took that as my permission to answer it.

Newt: Hey you alright? Heard you fainted?
I quickly type back: yeah good thanks. U still good to meet before the bus?

"Right!" The nurse said having finished sticking the triangle of letters on the far wall. Like the ones you get at ths optitions where the numbers get smaller the further down they go. "Read the letters outloud please."
I roll my eyes. "A. H. I. J. M. P. Z. N. C....." i paused as i squinted to read them.
The nurse frowned. "You alright y/n?"
I nod my head. "I just can't read the fourth line down."
"Have you had a lot of problems with your eyesight?" The nurse said moving closer, pretending as if she didn't just stick plasters on school kids for a living.
I nodd. "Yeah but I've book an appointment at hospital cause my dad went shortsighted around my age."
The nurse leant back seeming upset thay there wasn't actually anything wrong with me. "Well then make sure you eat breakfast tomorrow and drink lots. You can go back to class."
I thanked her glad to be out of there. The whole room just stunk of smelly rugby boys.

Newt was waiting outside Spanish for me, the bell rang and I bounded my way out of the lesson not even waiting to hear what the homework was. "Hey!" I chime at Newt as we started to walk to the bus station in town. A hoard of younger children rushing past us, their bags open and trousers shredded round the ends. Newt stood towering over them, whereas i was hardly a head taller than the smallest of them.
"Heard you bunked off the maths test?" He teased.
"Thats not fair!" I whine hitting his arm. "I was unconscious."
Newt rolled his eyes. "Yeah right my ass you were unconscious."
I side stepped a kid who's bag contents had been thrown across the pavement by his mates. "Do you seriously think I would faint to skip a maths test?"
Newt shrugged a huge smirk on his face. "Who knows your inner rebel may be emerging through your goody-too-shoes cover."
I stuck my tongue out at him. We stopped by the bus stop, it was always crowded at this time of day, the chaotic rush of everyone trying to get home. There were about twenty other people waiting with us.
I yawned, and rocked back and forth, a slight sleepiness washing over me. Although to be fair it had been a long day, fainted in drama! Absolutely failed my presentation in english, it makes me shiver even now thinking about standing up in front of that classroom of dickheads. And then spanish which is so dull I'm amazed the teacher doesn't fall asleep, cause i sure as hell did!
I smiled sadly at Newt.... I began to sweat. I suddenly had a hot rush and sweat felt as if it was pouring out of me. I saw the red blur as the bus pulled up, i started to rock. Jesus i was going to faint again! Through my strained eye sight i saw Newt stepping onto the bus. "Newt...." I whispered and fell backwards.

I had woken up rather quickly, people had hoarded around me. Newt said one was a GP. Then an ambulance arrived and I was rushed off to hospital. They stuck me in several machines, taking images and scans of my head. Now able to catch my breath, I was sat on a hospital bed, dressed in one of those ridiculous gowns. Slightly embarrassed with Newt sat on the end on the bed.... in a complete state; he was shaking and frantically nibbling at his fingers.
I peer round at him. "Hey Newt, its going to be fine ok? Its just stress!" It didn't seem to reassure him one little bit. I rested a hand on his arm. I've known him from years and I've never seen him this anxious. "Look how efficient the whole system was, I was in and out super fast. It means its just standard procedures, they must do it for so many stressed school kids."
Newt stared at me hard then he eventually sighed and pushed his hair back. "I guess, they're taking bloody ages with the results though."
I laugh at him. "Think what you want Newt they are going to walk in that door at any moment and dismiss me for being another stressed out student."
Just then there was a kock on the door, and in walked the doctor followed by my parents. My mother rushed over to me, hugging me and kissing my head, persistently asking if i was alright. Again i just instisted it was nothing.
"Can we speak to y/n?" The doctor said looking up from his folder.
I looked at Newt and smiled thankfully as he went outside.
