"You've healed so fast. It's only been three days. Are you sure you can start classes today?"
The nurse asked worriedly.
The girl, Diana managed to flex her arm again.
"It's fine now, see?"
"You should be careful Miss Chen. Basket ball's not a game for girls like you and you happen to be the only girl in the team so please be careful. It's a miracle you can move your hand again"
"You worry alot. I'm fine. Besides, we have a game next week and I'm definitely not missing practice" With that she energetically jumped down the bed and starts pulling down her sleeves when a boy suddenly walks in.
She narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized him. She hasn't been in school for a few days but she hadn't noticed him when she was around.
She heard many things about him though she had never seen him in person because he was an introvert.
They said he was so poor, he lived with the principal in her apartment and he was a whimp who couldn't stand up for himself.
"Mr. Jones. I see you've gotten into trouble again. What is it this time"
Nurse Lily asked collecting the slip he gave her.
"Uhhh" Raiden said rubbing the back of his neck. "Everything is fine now really. Do you know where I can find the janitor. I ah have something to tell him"
She sighed.
"Miss Chen please show him to the Janitor's room"
That's when Raiden noticed the belle who was gaping at him all these while and for two good minutes, they stood there like stagnant statues staring at each other as if in a staring contest.
Raiden thought he saw something flash In her eyes before she blinked and finally moved past him brushing her shoulder against him.
"Sure Nurse Lily" She said almost gruffly and Raiden reluctantly followed her out the door.
The hallway was empty and the school was a drop pin silence as their feet brushed against the floors echoing around the halls.
Diana was Infront walking with hands in pockets.
Raiden was meekly following her from behind taking care not to walk on the same sideline with her.
Who didn't know Diana Chen?
The toughest girl In School
The most beautiful
The wealthiest
The only girl in the school's basket ball team
She was stronger than most boys in school
And boy could this girl break hearts.
So far she had dated and broken the hearts of several boys in their school
And she quoted 'No boy could ever break her heart because she didn't have One'
So she was pretty much a playgirl
And here she was just back from a school leave from breaking her arm during a basket ball match and she was asked to show this pathetic person around.
He was definitely everything that she was not
But she had to admit, through that dorky glasses and introvertive personality, he was gorgeously cute.
She had dated several boys to know that the person meekly following her from behind was more than good-looking...
Once in a while, Raiden's gaze would fall on the smooth fair skin that was exposed because of her short skirt and wondered how someone would feel comfortable walking around half naked on public grounds.
He deemed it wise to just shut up.
They finally reach a door with the word 'Janitor' was written on it in bold red writing.
He looked up and pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Thank you" He muttered
"Do me a favor, yeah?" Hearing her talk, he looked at her. "This never happened between us"
He frowned
"But nothing...."
"We were never talking to each other and neither did I show you the Janitor's office...I have an image to maintain here, okay" She said curtly like she was talking to her servant boy.
He parted his lips but words weren't able to come out. Words that were compressed in his chest.
He just pretended to look unbothered by what she said and looked away.
"Sure"
With that, she looked at him one more time, squinting her eyes again as if trying to dissipate what was running across her mind but she just shrugged it off and walked away.
Sighing he held the door knob and pushed it, walking inside.
A few minutes later, he stepped out not sure what to do with his life at that moment. He had a permission slip to leave school when he wanted.
But then again, he was okay now.
He'll go to class....
He makes up his mind and moved with resolute towards his respective class when he saw Diana and a boy walking towards the rest room.
The boy was hugging her from behind and she was smiling naughtily while saying something only both could hear.
He leaned forward and buried his lips on the nape of her neck.
The girl giggled and moaned softly.
The boy was Travis Jackson and he was another hunk in Fortnite.
But he had a girlfriend. Karen Bane
Raiden squinted his eyes watching the lovey dovey couple enter the boys' rest room.
He just sighed.
A typical high school scenario
What was his business anyway
He went for class
He wasn't bothered about what he saw that morning but what really got him curiously stunned to the core was when the news of the death of Travis Jackson spread around the whole school during lunch break.
