A Single Drop

Aid To The wounded

As I walked down the corridor, earning a many stares of mockery and despair. I honestly felt like blending in with the ground, it's so embarrassing and I can't believe what I did! All of a sudden there he was. Oh my lord.. why does he look so much better up, this close?!
I snap back to reality to see him standing in front of me, his dark green eyes fixated on me, oh crap.
"Your Pergrine Jacobs?" His voice was so soft and smooth.
"Y-Yes" I stuttered stumbling over my words. To my disbelief he put his hand out to me and smiled kindly.
"I'm Ambrose Connors, nice to meet you" shakily I put my hand out and shook his hand, he shivered a little probably because of my cold rings on his hand. He let go of my hand and looked down at me and he was slightly taller than me.
"Now are we acquainted, mind telling me what happened first period?"
First period?
First period....
CRAP!
Maths!
I couldn't flat out tell him and I couldn't not tell him. What do I do? Say even?! I can't casually say
"Oh I fell asleep and started daydreaming about you but oh it's nothing!"
My face flushed as I realised I said it out loud and his face flushed red aswell. I thought I said it in my head, I couldn't have said that aloud!
"You were...?" He cleared his throat ,
"Ok, if that's all.., I'll go" He was flushed and walked away.

It's officially the end of my life, I can't come to school anymore, any chance I had was gone and I am done for. I snap back into the real world and put a hand on my cheek, I'm burning up. I tried acting casual as I made my way quickly to the toilets. When only a few meters away I rushed in and closed the door. I proceeded to the taps and began to splash my face with water but something hit me. I looked at the clock 11:15am,
Kane
I cursed under my breath.
Kane Phantom was a prestigious and very wealthy student, however he's not afraid to get his hands dirty. He beats up people who gets between him, however he always gets away with it because his parents help fund the school. It's unfair but it's how the world works.
But every day 11;15 am he comes to the bathroom and whoever is inside is screwed
E.g. me
Tap, Tap, Tap
I can already hear his boots approaching..
Creak...
"Well, well, well, Pergrine Jacobs.. aren't you having a bad day?~"
That tone, all it does is send shivers down my spine. It's so smooth yet so fierce. I've known Kane for many years , since preschool actually. We used to be friends but then we joined high school and that changed quickly.
"So what's this about your crush on the new kid, what's his name? Ambrose Connors?" With those stretched and dense words he punched me in the stomach. I groaned in pain and fell to my knees to be greeted by a knee to the face, whilst he nearly ripped off my earring off as his boot got caught on the hoop. The vicious beat down lasted what seemed like an hour which was only five minutes. With that Kane laughed as he left. I was left on the floor, bleeding, nose , lip and head anywhere that could bleed.

I huffed as I forced myself up against the wall lifting myself up. Slowly I walked toward the door and the bell rang
'Crap I'm late, very,very, late'
As fast as I could I rushed to class then all of a sudden I was grabbed and pulled down a narrow corridor.
'Oh come on!'
But my heart dropped when I realised who was infront of me, who's chest I was against,
Ambrose..
I flushed a dark red as he leant me against the wall.
"I heard Kane laughing and I saw you weren't around so I pieced one and one, and I was right."
I looked at him and the words just wouldn't function, I looked at him with thankful eyes.
"Now lets help you get cleared up.."
He pulled me to the staircase and sat me down. He knelt down in front of me and went through his backpack and pulled out a med kit.
"Wow, you have everything in your bag" he chuckled and I looked away, only to wince as I felt something soft touch my head but it stung like hell. He put a hand on my shoulder.
"The pain will fade don't worry, I know it hurts but it's better than nothing."
I sighed lightly knowing it was true and I let him carry on helping me.

How was I so calm right now? Yes my heart was beating out my chest but I hadn't spouted out yet and I hadn't done anything stupid. I felt him start applying the plasters. I felt light headed and I felt as if i was about to drift off to sleep.
I can't stay awake!
Stay awake!
Stay awake...
Darkness

My eyes fluttered open as I feel myself against a soft, warm surface.
'Am I at home in bed? I swear I was at school.. was it a dream?"
My eyes focus as I see the staircase and see a hand on my shoulder
'Who has their arm around me?'
I turn my head slowly to the right to look at who was next to me without revealing I was awake to whoever it was.
Oh god Ambrose..
He himself was asleep his head propped against the wall.
'He is so cute when he's asleep...'
Being gentle and trying not to wake him,I slowly take his arm from around me and set it down with his other hand. I went to get up and felt myself get pulled down and I landed in what I assumed was his lap. I blushed a crimson red as I felt his hands wrap around me and his head in my back.
"Stay.." he said quietly and slightly muffled.
"Why?.. why me?" I asked shakily trying not to break down in blush.
"Because.. your warm" with those words I didn't care anymore, I just relaxed, like it was the most natural thing in the world. I felt his grip soften and I unintentionally put my hands on his arms. All of a sudden the bell rang and that moment I wished would last forever ended as I felt the warmth vanish as his arms left me and he stood up. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me.
"I have a football club to attend, meet you there? After school 4pm.."
'Did he just asked me out? No I'm over thinking it.. or am I? Oh no I have no clue.'
I got up picking my bag up to head home.

I'd be walking home alone today as my sister had a club so just me, to sink, in my world of embarrassment. I went home and was created by a new house servant before I rushed upstairs and threw my clothes off till I had nothing but my boxers on. I threw my wardrobe open and grabbed a Nirvana tip and denim jacket and skinny jeans. I put a noise earring in this time and then I looked in the mirror.

'Why do I care so much?'
