Fear Me P.JM

Chapter Eleven: Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

An hour and a half later, I wake up suddenly and recognize the nurse's office. I'm on a cot the nurse must have pulled out for me.

"Hello?" I call out softly.

"Hello," a woman's voice answers. The nurse comes into view and she smiles reassuringly. "Glad you finally woke up. Seems you had quite a fall."

Fall? Yeah right. Unless you count those lips...

I remember all too clearly. My eyes widen as large as owl eyes and my breath quickens again. K-k...iss...

"Can you tell me what you remember?"

I look up, my eyes still wide, and my mouth opening but no words come out. K-ki-ss...I can't even say it in my head.

The nurse nods. "It seems you might have suffered a minor concussion." She grabs a folder off her desk and begins writing.

Concussion?

Jimin's lip-to-lip is a concussion?

I sigh and fall back onto the cot.

Ten minutes later, I walk out of the nurse's office after she forces me to tell her my full name, date of birth, and oddly, the name of my dog.

I don't have a dog.

So, now, I apparently don't have a minor concussion, but a full one according to the nurse. That is, until she phones my parents and find out I don't have dog. Where does she get her questions?

Oh wait...

I stop for a second thinking.

Now I know why she thinks I have a dog...we had to fill out a survey at the beginning of our freshman year and during that time Jb had to stay over for a week because his parents were on their second honeymoon. So...I put down "Jb" as the name of my dog.

Right...that makes a lot more sense now.

I decide not to go back into my homeroom and sit outside in the hallway until lunch. I stand up immediately when people begin filing out. Jb walks out quickly and almost bumps into me.

"Kito!" He takes a step back. "Are you okay?" he asks.

"I'm fine!" I say. "I have a concussion!"

"You do?" Jb leans forward to inspect my head.

"According to the nurse, I can't remember the name of my dog." I gently pull off his hands.

Jb looks confused. "But you don't have a dog."

"Exactly."

"So, this weekend..." Wow, he changes the subject quick.

"Yeah?" I suddenly spot Jimin coming out of class. I take a step to the right to hide behind Jb.

"If you're free, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out or something..." So, Jb really is trying to ask me for a date.

"Oh, but she already has plans with me."

"EH!" I say, surprised. Jimin is standing behind Jb.

Jb turns around. "Excuse me?"

My eyes are wide open, staring at Jimin. K...k...i...s...s...

"It seems Nikito already has plans with me," Jimin repeats again calmly. He catches me staring at him and gives me a smile. My arms shoot up in front of me and form an X.

"Since when did she make plans with you?" Jb says. He seems a little pissed.

I'm backing away from the scene. Let them figure it out. I accidentally bump into a girl though and I turn around.

My mouth drops.

Python.

My arms shoot up into an X again. As if that would protect me.

"YOU," she says reaching for me.

I say the only thing that can save my life right now. "Jimin is over there!" I point.

Python looks up from me and, catching sight of the beautiful boy she smiles. I think I even hear a giggle. Or maybe she's just coughing.

The she-men group heads over and I finally relax my arms. I watch them approach Jimin, interrupting Jb and him, and I smile. Go away, Jimin. And take that beautiful face of yours with you!

But instead I see Jimin gesturing to Jb and saying a few words to Python and her group. Then he shoots a charming smile and puts a hand on his chest where his heart is. Next thing I know, Python and her group is trying to drag Jb away, and doing an impressive job of it.

"Jb!" I call out walking towards him.

"You girls are CRAZY!" Jb yells. "I AM NOT GAY!"

Jimin steps in front of me, leaning in. My arms shoot to an X and Jimin immediately stops.

"New defense?" he says smiling.

I can only see a portion of his eyes, a portion of his nose, and a portion of his mouth. "What was that all about!" I demand.

"It appears Jb is in love with me."

I gawk, but I will deal with that later. "No! The other thing!"

"I said you and I had plans."

I look at him through my crisscrossed arms. "We're not going on a date!"

Jimin chuckles. "Why would I want to date you?"

"Uh..." I say. "Because...we have plans?" I think that's the right answer.

But Jimin shakes his head. "I believe you're catering for my birthday."

"Wha?"

"Tomorrow? Saturday. You're first catering job ever, am I correct?" He sounds amused.

"No way."

Jimin leans in and I turn my head and arms away. "And I a request for a dish to be made."

"And what is that?" I sound terrified.

Jimin straightens back up and grins.

"Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies."
