He should go.
Although my nose was paining and my head felt heavy and was throbbing in pain and my eyelids refused to open I forced them up and try to sit. I gave a look around. As soon as Ray saw me getting up he slipped his one hand on my neck and held it firmly helping me in sitting straight. As the ball hit my straight on my face It jerked my neck backwards which was now paining a lot.
“Hey. How are you feeling, Soaf?” Ray asked as I sat there I saw myself in the mirror which was across my bed, I realized my nose was broken or something because It was all bandaged.
“Yanh” was all I could reply. Instead of yeah due to my broken nose it was sounding like Yanh. Like someone has held my nose tightly and then asking me to speak.
Raymond chuckled a bit while his fingers were retracing my jaw line, tingling me everywhere he touched. I saw his one eyes was swelled a bit. It started blackening.
Did someone punch him on the eye?
“You better report to the principal young boy” Mrs. Perkins replied while smiling at Raymond and then glancing back at me.
Raymond gave a curt nod and before I could ask him anything further he went out of the sick room after saying
“Be right back. Don’t go anywhere”
As soon as Raymond was out of sight I turned towards Mrs. Perkins.
“What happened to me?”
“You were all unconscious when some boy carried you here.” she replied in a calm tone.
“Some boy. Wasn’t he this one?”
“No honey. He was not this boy. He had brown hairs and grey hazel eyes.”
“Dany” I mumbled to myself realizing that it was him who carried me here not Raymond.
“Umm…. how did Raymond end up with a swollen eye?” I asked.
“The one who just left?”, I nodded in reply. I knew something bad was coming. Of course Ray had a fight with someone, he wouldn’t end up with a swollen eye because of playing football, Right?
“They had a fight. That is why Principal has called both of them.” she replied calmly.
“What?!!……. T-Theyy both fought with each other.” Shit. This is going to make things more complicated. I don’t think after this Raymond will want me to sort things out with Dany but I can’t leave him like this. He is my best friend.
Ohh God. Why me?
“No…… yes…. uhh. Listen sweetie this is complicated. First they both were beating up some other guy who probably hit you by the ball. Poor boy ended with some bruisers. Then both of your boys ended up fighting with each other.”
“OH MY GOD! Please Jesus save them. What if they end up with suspension” My eyes widen at the realization. This cannot happen. Our exams are near and already both of them are missing so many classes. Shit.
“Calm down sweetheart. Is it paining anymore?”
HOW THE FUCK CAN I CALM DOWN. Is this woman mad? She’s asking me to calm down. Both the boys are probably getting their suspension letters by now and seeing at Raymond’s behavior inside the premises he might already get suspend.
“Honey? Is it paining?” Mrs. Perkins asked me again bringing me out of my thoughts.
“N-No. Thanks Mrs. Perkins” I said getting up in a hurry.
“Wait. Take these if it starts paining. Okay? And it’s better if you go home directly.” She told me handing me some medicines. While I made my way out of sick room I found Claire running in my direction while some familiar figure was following her.
“I leave your side for one hour and you end up in sick room. Are you out of your mind?” Claire scolded my. She was panting hard which tells me she came running all the way to here. I saw Chase finally reaching us and surprisingly wasn’t panting that much.
Wait.
Didn’t she say she has to go to Mr. Hanks to take some extra assignments?
What is she doing with Chase anyway?
