Secrets

Chapter 18

Vincent's pov:

"Vinci wake up.... wake up..." I heard someone say.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw Crystal sitting beside me.

I asked, "What... what happened..."as I sat up, slowly.

"I don't really know but remember the classroom caught on fire?" Crystal asked, tilting her head.

Oh yeah... the board started burning up like crazy and got out of hand. Sooner or later, it was very hard to breathe so I probably passed out and Crystal took me here.

I nodded slowly then said, "Ah I remember now, thank you."

"Thank you... for what?" She asked.

I replied, "For taking me to the clinic... didn't you... take me here?"

"No... I thought you took us here..." she whispered.

I blinked at her then questioned, quietly, "So if you didn't take us here and I didn't take us here... who did??"

"I don't know." she replied and looked at the floor.

I looked around and asked, "Where's Min-Jun?"

"I don't know, when I woke up he wasn't-"

She got cut off by someone vomiting in the bathroom.

"That's probably him...." I stated.

She nodded and we continued hearing him retch and throw up.

After a few minutes, we heard him cough then spit into the toilet.

He said, weakly, "Yeah.. It's me..."

"Did you take us here?" Crystal asked.

He answered, "No. I passed out and thought one of you did," while flushing the toilet.

"Damn, who took us here then?" I asked then placed my head inside my hands.

Minnie came out of the bathroom while drying his mouth with a napkin then replied, "No idea but let's go get lunch, I'm hungry."

"Of course you are, you just threw up your breakfast and dinner from yesterday." Crystal snickered.

Min-Jun said, "Mhm, so let's go feed my belly!"

I nodded so we started walking towards the lunchroom. When we walked in, I felt eyes on us.

I turned my head slightly and saw Mateo, Princeton, and Jackson staring at us.

I whispered to Min-Jun and Crystal, "Yo, at 5 o'clock, the guys are staring at us."

Crystal looked around, pretending to look for a table, then said, "Oh guys, I found one- why are they staring so hard??"

"Maybe they know how we went to the clinic." Minnie suggested while staring at them through the corner of his eye.

I sat down at the table while asking, "What do you mean-"

Before I could finish, he cut me off, "Hang onto that thought, I'm going to go get some food, first. Then we can start talking."

Crystal added, "Me too."

"Okay, make sure to get me something and I'll look after the table." I replied.

Crystal said, "Or you just don't want to get up."

"Bingo, you got it." I said while smiling.

They shook their heads, disappointed in me, then walked away.
