The Outside Doesn't Count (Ongoing)

Chapter 7

I turned around to see a dude with blonde hair that was in a ponytail. He had his head down. Then he looked up and looked me straight in the face. He had piercing green eyes. I really digged  his bad boy image with his black spike bracelet and his ear piercing. He seemed cool.

"And who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Kai Betchel."

The group of girls jaw dropped to the floor. What's wrong with them now?

"Ahh", said the principal,"the exchange student."

"You mean THE  Kai Betchel. As in son of the actress Maria Betchel. The MODEL Kai Betchel??" Exaggerated the third year girl.

"Yah..I'm pretty sure." He said rubbing the back of his head enjoy the attention.

Apparently he was famous or something.

"Now, what did you say you saw Mr Betchel?", asked the principal.

"Oh,Right. I saw that girl with the broken nose slap this girl right here first. I also saw here bullying another girl. She was simply standing up for her, she wouldn't have broken her nose If she didn't slap her."

"Is this true Ms. James."

Ashamed, she admitted it was true.

The principal gave her detention and yard work for two weeks.

*score*

The principal dismissed all of us. As I was walking, I saw the dude that defended me next to a wall with one foot up. I approached him.

"T- th-.. Thanks for defending me back there."

"It was nothing, you do owe me now though."

I lifted an eyebrow.

"I don't owe you anything." I snapped.

"Oh really?"

He turned around and pinned me against the wall. He looked me In th face with his piercing green eyes.

"What are you doing,", I said Unamused. I take back what I said about him being cool now.

He looked surprised.

"So , your not charmed by me at all?"

"Why would I, what's there to be charmed about?" I said as I folded my arms and looked to the side.

"Well, I guess I'll have to force you then."

He started to lean in closer and closer to my face. Was he going to kiss me? I started a light blush of embarrassment. I wanted to move but he had my hand pinned on the wall. As our lips were inches apart, I closed my eyes, I didn't want to look. Then I heard him whisper in my ear..

"Nice left arm punch"

I opened my eyes. Freed my hand and sucker punched him in the stomach.

"Don't mess with me you idiot! I take that thank you back!"

"I- it was nice meeting you too and..nice right arm too..",he said as he held his stomach.

I walked away furiously. Why do rich and famous people think they can do anything they want?

I went to the classroom for the rest of lunch time. I was too furious to eat. I was extremely hungry though. Now that I think of it, I haven't been eating a lot recently.

Lunch time passed and now it was time for classes to resume. We had second period literature now. Ms Tanaka said whoever finished their poem and presented today gets extra marks. Obviously it was a piece if cake for me.

About seven people had finished their poems early. I was presenting on a Sonnet poem. Ms Tanaka called my name to go up to present. As I got up from my chair, I felt light headed, but I shook it off and went up anyways. Halfway through the poem the words started to look blurry. I started to lose balance and leaned my head against the black board.

"Are you alright Ms. Florestine?",asked Ms Tanaka.

"Yeah, I'm fi-.."

Everything went dark. When I woke up I was I'm the nurses office. Chess was there sitting on a chair next to me.

"Umm, what are you doing here?"

"Don't move, your not strong enough."

What does he mean?

"You fainted due to starvation and dehydration."

I felt embarrassed. Why did I let this happen?

Chess' POV

I don't know why, but I have been observing Avrora for a while. Ever since our encounter at the park, I've felt a feeling to be around her more. She may not like me, because I'm not the same person I used to be, but she isn't the same person she used to be either. When she said her parents divorced I think I kind of understood why she acts like this a little. I know Avrora, this can't be all that happened to her.

Today I noticed her mood had changed. Since break had finished I noticed she went from I don't care to furious. She has had her head down a lot since lunch, like she had a headache or something.

When she got up to go to recite her poem I noticed her stop, like she was trying to regain balance. During her poem (which was very good) she looked dizzy and pale. By this time I was ready to jump out of my seat because she looked like she was about to faint. As she started to loose balance, I jumped out of my seat and caught her. Everyone gasped. I then walked out of the class and carried her to the nurses office.

When I carried her in my arms, she looked so vulnerable, like she couldn't hurt a fly. She looked cute to be honest. It made me smile. Then I remembered the time i kissed her In the park.

I whispered under my breath,"I'm sorry Avy."

She didn't hear it but I apologized. Anyways if I apologized to her when she was conscious she would probably flip out. I stood by her side until she woke up.

After school

After getting discharged from the nurses office, I went home. Chess offered to walk me home because of my condition and he was going in the same direction, but I said no because it was too weird. I left before him anyways. I was ordered to rest and eat well. Today I had my boxing lessons, but I guess I can't go. I called the instructor to tell him.

I still felt too light headed to ride my skate board so I had to walk home.

On my way home, I felt like I was being watched. I don't know if it was just my headache or what. But I have killer instincts so I'm sure I wasn't wrong. I noticed this dude in a hooded jacket walking my direction for 20 minutes now. I hit the curve and started to run. I looked back and the guy was running after me.

While I was running I started to feel light headed. I fell to the ground on my hands and my knees. I crept into an ally opening trying to catch my breath. I felt so weak. The hooded guy approached me. Now I wish I had taken Chess' offer to walk me home.

He stretched out his hand.

Being short of breath, I managed to scream a small cry for help.
