The Beginning of the End - New Blood Trilogy

Chapter 14 - Knowing

<P>Chapter 13 - Knowing  </P>

<P>It's been nearly two weeks since my birthday. Two weeks since I last talked to John or my friend Jasmine. I know I was probably being silly but I just couldn't. Every time I saw him it brought tears to my eyes. When I saw them together it broke my heart. I finally had my cast of my right leg and I was finally allowed to walk to school. I had my earphones in listening to "Teardrops on my Guitar" by Taylor swift. I had it full blast trying to block out all my thoughts. About Jasmine, about John and about my miserable life. </P>

<P>******  </P>

<P>"OK class, 5 laps around the field. Now! And NO walking" Miss Thomson shouted at us in games. As my cast was off I had take part this week. I don't mind games. I usually found it fun, but I hated long distance running. I was crap at it. Maybe Crap was an understatement but you know what I mean. I started off with a slow pace jog going around and I kept my breath even. When I finally finished my laps I started stretching. I looked around and I was on my own, all the other girls were either halfway round the field or just coming up to me, and the ones who were, were out of breath. Hold up. How had I just beaten all the other girls and I wasn't even out of breath? Strange. Miss told us that we were going to be playing a rugby game so she spit us up into 4 teams. Luckily she put Sam and me on the same team. During the first game me and Sam did as little work as possible and just talked. But for the second game the teacher said we either put effort in or get a detention. Sam tried but she hates games. She was always at the back because she couldn't be bothered to keep up with the other girls and just avoided the ball. However for the first time in my life I was actually good. I kept up with all the other girls and never got out of breath. It was awesome. As we starting the third game my head started to hurt. At first I tried my best to ignore it but it kept getting worse as all the minutes crept by. Sam said I should tell Miss. We told Miss but all she said was to take it easier but to keep playing. It felt like someone was inside my head hitting me with a sledge hammer. Natalie threw the ball to me but I never got it because I felt some crack in my head and I blacked out.</P>

<P>I woke up lying in the nurse's office. She had an icepack over my head.  </P>

<P>"How are you feeling sweetie"  </P>

<P>"I think I'm fine, but what happened?" I tried to sit up but I wave of vertigo hit me and I fell back down.  </P>

<P>"Careful dear, you were playing rugby on the field when you suddenly fainted" I tried to get up again and succeeded. "Can I change my clothes please?"  </P>

<P>"Yeah, just go into the bathroom there" she said pointing to a door. I walked through door in to the bathroom and got changed out of my PE kit back into my Uniform. When I got back out I asked if I could go. The nurse said yes but to take it easy. I walked out and looked on my phone. It was 10.25, which meant that I had science. I walked over to K block. K block's behind G block, G Block next to F Block which is where the nurse's office was. I walked over slowly and when I finally got there I walked in everyone was writing something in there books. When+ I closed the door most people looked up to see who'd come in. I went and sat at my desk to Sam. On our table it was me and Sam, then Becca and Roxy and then John and Ciaran. As I sat down on my seat I was bombarded with question about how I am and if I'm fine?  </P>

<P>"Yes I'm good now what have I missed?"  </P>

<P>"Oh nothing we've been talking about whose hot and who's not"  </P>

<P>"And of course I'm hot" Ciaran stated. This made Sam laugh. I suddenly got a feeling and went with it. I whispered to Sam "you should ask Ciaran out, both of you like each other and you're perfect together" wow! Where did that come from, I don't even know why I said it. What the heck's up with me?  </P>

<P>"How did you know that?" Sam asked worriedly  </P>

<P>"You actually like ciaran?" I cracked a smile  </P>

<P>"Yeah but how did you find out?" I didn't answer I just looked away. How the heck did I know that? These feelings were getting weird. They were always right. What was happening to me? I turned back round to the table and saw john staring at me. I met his gaze and then he looked away. Jerk.  </P>

<P>"Ok" Roxy said "what about Ethan?"  </P>

<P>"You mean Becca's dad" I suddenly blurted out. I placed my hand over my mouth. Everyone looked at me. Becca looked shocked and scared. John had this knowing look that said took-you-long-enough.  </P>

<P>"No, her cousin Ethan silly" Roxy replied. For some reason I got this vibe from Becca, like Ethan was her dead. But that just wasn't possible. They like looked only 3 years apart and that's physically impossible, but they do look similar. As the Lesson ended and I was putting my book away I bumped into John.  </P>

<P>"Hey, careful there he said as he steadied me"  </P>

<P>"You're way older that you look"  </P>

<P>"Um that's random but thanks"  </P>

<P>"I mean your way older than all of us"  </P>

<P>"What do you mean?"  </P>

<P>"I don't know I just know you aren't 16, you're way older but you just don't look it." John got this worried look on his face then walked away. The day carried on that way. Me getting these weird feeling from people. It was like I could read them. It was strange.</P>
