I woke up feeling dizzy as I wondered where I was. The room was still spinning and it took time before I realized I was in the school's sick bay.I couldn't remember why exactly I was there in the first place but then suddenly -
"Oh my God, she's awake! Hey Olivia, are you okay? You got hit pretty hard. Can you see me properly? How many fingers am I holding up? Hello?? Answer me!" Addy made so much noise it was barely impossible to tune her out.
"Jeez Addy, I got hit on the head. It's not like I was in a coma or something. My head - my days. Remind me never to play dodgeball ever again. And please, you're making my headache worse." I had said to Addy while throwing straight daggers at her.
Honestly, I couldn't even begin to say much to her. All I could think about was how those two ingrates had laughed at me and put me on the ground.
It was a game we were playing and they just had to take the fun out of it.
There was just one thing left on my mind though.
"Addy, did we win?" I think I shouldn't have asked that question because the look on her face was priceless. I was about to start laughing when suddenly, she looked like she was about to cut me to pieces. Addy never swore because she said and I quote 'Swearing is for those that don't have manners'.
Adante was throwing heavy profanities my way right now.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you highly insane? You got hit hard on your head because obviously you wouldn't have asked me such a stupid question. My days Olly, of all things to ask me, you had to ask if we had won. I'm here caring about your health and you're caring about a bloody game?! On God, if you weren't on a bed dying right now, I would have put you there. Do you know how har-"
Okay, Adante was really angry at me.
The thing is, I was already used to all the bullying and all that jazz. I can understand why she's pissed about this but come on! I just really needed to get out of that place. So I did what I had to do to make her shut up.
"Addy, I'm sorry okay? I mean, it's not like I even wanted to be in this sort of position. It just happened. I'm sorry for being inconsiderate of your feelings too and I love you so much for caring for me. Right now, I have a banging headache and I need to sleep yeah?" My attempt to shut her up actually worked because the look on her face was hilarious.
But then...
"Addy!"
"Arrgh! What?!" She screams like I almost killed her.. tch as if.
"You swore Addy. I mean, you never swear. You even slap my mouth shut when I attempt to do it! Oh my God! I can't believe you actually swore." By this time, I had fallen off my bed and was laughing at her. Hard.
"Laugh again, and I'll make sure it's your last Olly."
Well, that shut me up.
The nurse comes back in and sees my "injured" self on the floor. And she wasn't looking too happy either.
"Adante Ackerman, you were allowed in here because you're supposed to be responsible! How did Olivia end up on the floor?! Don't make me send you out young lady."
On God, if looks could kill, we both would be six feet under for laughing right now.
"I'm fine, Nurse Jane. Addy actually made me feel alot better. If you could just sign me out now, I'd be just about ready to get to class ma'am."
In all honesty, the sleep of earlier on had disappeared and I was starting to really hate it in this place.
I didn't want to go to class either but skipping school really also wasn't an option. Mum would kill me if she ever found out I skipped school.
"Olly, I think she's about to kill me. I mean look at that look on her face. Sheesh!" Addy whispers in my ears.
I couldn't help but laugh at that as well.
***
In my next class, I got alot of stares and people asking if I was okay. I hated the attention but what exactly could I have done? Gone home? My mother would have made sure she dropped me right back at school.
The day wasn't really that bad. It just sucked cause Addy wasn't in most of my classes.
My last class of the day had ended and I was on my way to wait outside of the school for my father to pick me up.
Then Ethan and his pack of clueless idiots just had to show up. I really have no clue what I had done to him but I couldn't care about it. I just really needed him out of my life.
"Hi Olivia!" Ethan said overly excited.
"Hi Ethan?" I asked cause he had never told me hi before, neither had he ever been excited at the sight of me.
"Uhm, have you seen Adante?" So that's the reason....
"Adante's gone home weirdo. Leave me alone." At this point I was having a massive headache and wasn't entirely planning to be bothered.
And then he goes...
"How's your head Olivia?" Pftt, ask your girlfriend asshat. "That was quite a hit." He said, smirking slighty.
"I'm perfectly fine Ethan, not that you care or anything." I responded. I was having a bad feeling about him talking to me but he really did look like he cared.
Sarcasm intended.
"You're right Olivia. I don't care, at all. But the look on your face as you fell was totally priceless." He reacted the scene right in front of me with his goons laughing at my expense.
They left me right after, but I was hurt and angry and sad. I hadn't done anything to either of them before. I mainly stayed on my own or with Adante.
Why me? What had I done really?
Sigh.
My father pulled up and I rushed to his car. All I really needed to do was go to my room and sulk all day. He might have noticed cause all he did was kiss my head and said nothing.
