Floating Away With You

Chapter 3- Her

(TENDOUS POV)~

My vision was blurry when I came back from floating. The dumbass was in front of me, unconscious, with blood and bruises all over his face. I was sitting on top of his limp body.

What happened? Did I do this?

I start to shake and notice my hands, irritated and covered in blood. My knuckles were bleeding and sore.
My whole body shaking.
What have I done?
I step away from my classmate grabbing my head, blocking my ears. My hearing starts to disappear. My hands are throbbing.
I need to calm down.
Tears start rolling down my face and my hands are now shaking uncontrollably, I can feel sweat going down my back.
I'm a monster. I'm a monster.
I press my hands against my ears harder and harder.

After 10 minutes, I'm still shaking, but the tears have stopped and I was able to uncover my ears.
I feel an odd sense of calmness. A calmness that makes you stare into the distance, with zero thoughts and zero movements. Just staring.
I had sat back down into the swing while I was crying, rocking back and forth, making it easier to calm down.
Staring blankly I sit alone. Hands squeezing my knees until they're white. They hurt, but I don't stop.

Bang! The sound of books hitting pavement. I look over towards the sound slowly, only moving my eyes.

A girl stood there with a horrified expression, looking straight at me. She had dropped all of her books.

We stare at each other for what felt like forever, until I gave her a sad smile. It had become dark out and she looked beautiful in the moonlight. I recognized her.
We had matching uniforms on.

She walks my way slowly after picking up the books in a flustered manner, almost like she was embarrassed.
"Hello" I say with the same sad smile on my face. She must have noticed the blood on my hands. She gets closer and closer to me, hesitant.
"Those books look heavy. Need any help?" I get up from the swing and start walking toward her. I reach out my arms to take the books and she flinches.
"I'm that bad huh?" I say dropping my arms.
We stand there for a few seconds. Her face is red and she's looking away to the side, afraid to make eye contact.
She really is pretty.
I don't possibly have any chances with her though.
I mean, look at me.

She must have noticed I was deep in thought when she started talking.
"Um, hi!" (Putting on a nervous smile.) "My name is (Y/N), I'm in your English class... These books belong to you..."
She handed me the books, still trying hard not to make eye contact.
"Thanks" I tell her grabbing the books.
Ouch! I flinch, my hands were SO not ready for that. I drop a book but hurry to pick it up, resting my chin on the top so they're more steady.
"Tendou your hands!" (Y/N) gasps, her hands lingering over them, scared to touch them.
"It's alright. Thanks for the books." I smile and go towards the house when I hear her yell my name.
"TENDOU! Wait, come with me. I'll bandage them up for you."
She was holding her hands behind her back. She really is beautiful. The moonlight making her glow, like a star.

Why would she want to help me?

She saw what I did.

She knows who I am.

"Uh... Ok" I answer. She gives me a smile, and our eyes meet for the first time.

It was like a huge fish of wind was blowing right in my face. Kind of like when you stick your head out a car window and it makes it hard to breath. That's what looking at her smile felt like.

Everything around me disappeared. It was only her. A beautiful star.

Wow.
