The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 2: A Visitor at the Hospital

§A Visitor at the Hospital§

We arrived at the hospital, but not soon enough. My ears were practically bleeding from all the screams and complaints of pain. We walked into the emergency part of the building and signed her in.

"Ms. Lawson?" They called Jessi's name and she walked back. I decided to take this opportunity to take a nap. I curled up near the arm of the waiting couch and closed my eyes.

"I guess we will be spending a lot..... Who lit the fuse...... Hotter when mad.... Not good at ma-"

I woke up to someone roughly shaking me. I sat up and slowly opened my eyes. I saw Seth, Sam, and Derek laughing. I consciously touched my hair and face to see if something was in or on it. Nothing.

"What?"

"Did you know you sleep talk?"

"What's your p-" Oh CRAP!! I was dreaming about Derek. Fridge, fridge, fridge! I hope I didn't say anything too bad.

"Umm... S-so what?" I lift my head in confidence.

"You kept saying Derek sexy God, or Derek angelic and irrisitable." They burst out laughing again and I dropped my head and blushed more than I even thought was humanly possible. I lift my head slightly so I could see Derek. He was laughing uncontrollably. He opens his mouth to say something, but no sound comes out. He soon stops laughing and takes a deep breath.

"I knew that girls thought that I was hot, but I've never heard angelic or godlike!" He smirks as he looks at me. I just roll my eyes and pull out my phone. Ugghhh!! Its only been 15 minutes since Jessi went into the back.

"What are you guys even doing here anyways? None of you look hurt." I say trying to get the attention off me.

"Well when you left we talked it over and I wanted to apologize." I look up at him with surprised eyes. "So I'm sorry."

"Umm.."

"Sorry that your little friend, can't take a joke." That's it I've had it with him. I tried to hold it back, but the words just rolled off my tounge.

"Why are you such a jerk?! You have been at this school for all of about 4 hours and already I hate you. You're just like all the other 'bad boys' a big fat slimy slug and I'm sick of it! I can't belive that just because you're hot and sexy that you think you can just parade on everybodies feelings. That's not right. You need to stop acting like you're cool and popular, because if you don't soon everyone will realize it's just an act and it will come and bite you in the ass! I hope you have an awful life. See you in hell!" I stand up and begin to walk towards the door. I'll wait in the car for Jessi, but right now Douchey Derek was pissing me off. I feel a hand wrap around my wrist tightly and I turn around expecting to hear an apology. I sure as hell deserved it.

"So what I'm hearing is you think I'm sexy." Uggghhh!!! SERIOUSLY?! That's what he got from my rant?!?!

"Congrats Derek! You just proved my point of how idiotic and jackassy you can be!" I rip my hand from his grip and stomp out of the building not even turning around to hear why he was calling my name. I'm just done. I get into my car and turned up the volume of Stupid Boy by Taylor Swift. After listening to it 20 times Jessi walked into the car. Once she heard the song she asked what Douchey Derek did.

"How did you know?" I ask turning down the volume.

"First you only listen to this song when you are angry at a guy and second I heard Derek and his friends talking about how hot it was when you blew up on them."

"He called me hot?" I stick my tongue out in disgust. Normally I would be ecstatic if a boy of his heavenliness called me hot, but based on the level we are at right now I'm not. We talked for a couple of minutes about how stupid and cocky he is. I started to drive once I got most of my anger out. I glanced at her hand and saw that she had a cast that covered her first two fingers and went down to her wrist bone.

"How's your wrist?"

"Painful, but she said it should heal in about 7 weeks."

"That's...good?"

"Yeah it is actually. She said I was lucky and that if I had punched harder that I would have dislocated it and shattered the bones causing me to never be able to use my fingers again."

"Oh, well then it's a good thing your punches are weak." I laugh as she punches me with her good arm, "See I felt nothing."

I drove her home since school would be out in about a half an hour. I started to drive back to my house only to have a car speed past me in a no passing zone.

-HOOOOONNNNKKKKKKK-

"Idiot!" I continue to drive and arrive at my house after a few minutes. When I pull in I see Derek get out of a red Ferrari with Seth, and Sam, and the car looked exactly like the one that cut me off.

"What the hell!" I scream at him walking up my driveway.

"Wha-" Derek looks up and his eyes widen as he grins, "So you're my neighbour. Oh this is going to be fun!"
