[TQS] Girl Trouble

19: Imperfections

I clenched my knuckles as I stood outside Burnley's infirmary. Behind me were all my friends excluding Kiko who had to help with escorting the students back into the school buses.

However, the girls and I weren't the only ones here, with us are a group of Burnley students who came for the same reason - Ren. And being a member of their rival school, we were met with u welcoming stares as we stood amongst them.

The doors opened and a lady in blue scrubs came out dismissing the crowd as she did so. As far as we were concerned, only Ren was inside along with a few of his teammates and probably one of the head of departments to ask him about what happened.

"Ladies can we all go please, Mr Ren Salvacion is alright, a minor facial injury is not going to kill him. Go home." Was all she instructed.

"Minor facial injury lang naman pala, thank goodness." Sabi ni Lenn, "Ako yung natakot para kay Yves eh."

I nodded, "Tara na guys. If he's alright, that's good enough for me."

We started following the crowd of girls who were leaving one by one. Reign was still rubbing my back and the rest of them kept on checking up on me.

"Excuse me, Bordeaux students?" A female voice announced. Reign, Mhaii, Denise, Lenn and I turned, greeting the nurse who asked for our attention.

"Any of you know Breyar Dasalla?"

Before I could process what the nurse said, I was pushed roughly to the front.

"Her, this is Breyar Dasalla." Mhaii exclaimed, pulling my body with her. Honestly, I won't be surprised if I get bruises of people's fingertips and hands on my arms by the amount of times I got dragged and pulled today.

The nurse raised her eyebrows, "Mr Salvacion is right, you were out here. You can come in."

I pointed at myself, confused. Pulling my skirt down, I followed suit and entered the infirmary. I was greeted by the attention of Ren's teammates who looked at me from head to toe. They all gathered in one spot at the edge of a bed, I'm guessing where Ren is lying down right now. The nurse assisted me towards them and they all made way as their eyes followed me.

There was a doctor and another nurse on the other side of Ren's bed who were completing a bunch of reports. There was a dressing on the right side of his forehead, the side of his lips swollen and a couple of bruises on his cheek. I bit my lip when we shared eye contact. Stop yourself Breyar, don't you dare cry.

"This is Breyar Dasalla," The nurse that came with me spoke softly, getting the attention of her colleagues. The doctor and the nurse nodded and left Ren's side. The players that once surrounded Ren's bedside also took their leave one by one.

I stared blankly at him.

"I'm not surprised you were out there, but what were you still doing here?" Ren smiled softly, pushing his body up the bed to be in a better position.

"They asked me to stay behind. They wanted an account on what happened." I responded. Hurriedly going in his side to support him as he moved about. Before my hands could even reach his shoulders, he was quick to grab my left hand and enclosed them with his. I froze on my spot.

"Are you okay?" Ren asked, I could feel his breathing reach my face. A rush of blood flowed to my cheeks and I could tell they were going red.

I scoffed, "Im not the one on the bed." I tried to dismiss the blush that crept up my face.

"Malayo sa bituka," Pabiro niya. He brought his hand that was holding mine up to his lips. I allowed him. He glanced up meeting my eyes, "Have you always been this beautiful?"
