I stopped. “What?”
“Just be quiet.” He hissed. “It happened before.”
He’s walking towards me and I take a back step, quite nervous. “Uhm… i don’t know if it’s one of your apology but I think-”
In a swift motion, he wrapped a cloth around my waist and threw me on his shoulders. What is he doing?!!
“What are you planning to-put me down!” I yelled, there were a few students in the halls who saw us. Seeing Eion’s face, they scrambled aside to allow them to pass, probably thinking it’s just a couple’s fight.
“Don’t let him kidnap me! You and you! Help!” I yelled again.
“Shut up!”
“Drop me down!”
“You want me to drop you? Then fine,” he loosened his hold that made me slide down a little to the ground.
My eyes widened, “Ow! Okay, don’t drop me!
He grunted, then returned his hold to me. “Where are you taking me?” I asked, forcing myself to calm down.
“To the school clinic.”
I looked up at him in confusion, my eyebrows furrowing. “Why? Is it because of earlier? I promise it was just a forget-thing presentation that happens to me… no worries.”
“It’s not that, stupid. It’s the red stain behind you.”
“The… what?” I let out a sound of shock. Then realized it. Gosh, not this again.
“You should have told me sooner, Robot!” I exclaimed.
Chill first Snow! Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself first before asking, “Was it that big?
“Practically all over your pants.”
I cursed under my breath. I had put a pad on earlier. But I didn’t expect it to be a heavy flow!? Dammit.
“Why does this happen to you all the time? This is the second time. You care about everyone’s business but when it comes to yourself you don’t even take care. Even for a small period…”
I heard him saying. I just rolled my eyes as my face reddened, too embarrassed to even talk. Now I can’t face him after this, and to think it already happened before too!
I gulped down my embarrassment. Say something back Snow!
“Small period? Psh, easy for you to say. We women always suffer from this thing. You know what, try to be a female, and feel our pain. Oh, nevermind that, it looks like you already have a period since every day you already have a PMS.” I retorted.
A familiar sharp pang of pain stabs me in the insides. I yelped in pain, balling my fists. I gritted my teeth to avoid screaming, my lips pressed in a thin line.
“Waterstrings. What happened there?” Eion asked after a while. “You suddenly got quiet, I see….” He sighed in relief. “Finally.”
” N-nothing…” I managed to croak out. No matter what happens, I won’t let him see my pain! My weak point!
I stopped, another sharp pang of pain was on my stomach again, this time twice the pain compared to the first one. I mumbled a curse.
Damn it all! I can’t take it anymore! I don’t have a choice, screw my promise that I won’t let him see my weak point!
“My… stomach… just hurts…” I spoke up. “So much.”
I just closed my eyes to the pain. He didn’t reply after that. But I can’t help but notice him now carrying me more gently and carefully.
****
The nurse had said that I should go home. As much as I want to do my plan today, I can’t do it properly with my state right now. As for Eion, he left me here and left to god knows where.
“You look like you just got into hell,” Emma said.
“I know,” I said in pain. It was lunchtime and Emma and Hannah were here to visit me. After two hours of aching and falling asleep here, the nurse went to go and call mom to drive me home. And now I waited for her.
“Where did he go?” I asked Emma. “Who?” Hannah’s forehead creased.
“Eion. He was the one who carried me here.
“Did you just say carry? Oh my totally ship it” Emma piped in.
More like dragging me. But nevermind, he went here so I should be thankful…”
“Is there love I am sensing?” Emma was making heart shapes with her hands as she said it.
I scoffed. “Just shut up Emma or I make you drink my red waterfalls. You want that, don’t you?” I grinned evilly.
She squirmed in disgust, “Eww, I’ll tell this to Eion.” She stood up.
I smirked, “Let’s see then,”
“Oh to Luke then…”
Beaming at my panicked face, she quickly made her way to the door laughing on the way before I had the chance to stop her.
“Well, get well soon then. I gotta go watch the drama.” Hannah winked. Ugh, not you too! “Bye!”
“Snow?”
Someone called out, and mom appeared. “Mom?”
“Are you okay?”
I shook my head yes vigorously like a kid, “Yes, it’s nothing serious really. Just stomach pains, you don’t have to goal the way here. What about your work?”
“Just chill sweety.” Mom smiled. “Don’t worry too much about something like that. It’s fine.” She handed me some medicine. “There. Someone gave me this. For you.”
“For me?” I furrowed my eyebrows, who would? The one who only knows this besides Hannah and Emma is… Eion.. is it him?
“No, it’s from your boyfriend, he’s really sweet Snow!” Mom sighed dreamily as though a teenager.
“It’s… Luke?”
“Of course Snow, who else would it be?”
I nodded my head… This feeling again… why am I so disappointed?
I guess I still have to thank him…
