Little Girl Doesn't Feel Good
Chapter I- Polka Dots is Sick
It's another day at the Academy. The sun is shining, the bees are buzzing, and the grass is swaying. The usual stuff. But wait, something unusual is at hand. The usual energetic brown-haired girl is not so energetic. In fact, she's almost asleep on her feet.
"Hey, Mikan, are you alright?" Ruu asked, eyeing the girl beside him dragging her feet across the hall.
"I'm fine," Mikan replied weakly, forgetting her usual "Good Morning, everyone!" greeting to the class. She took her seat and buried her face in her desk. Hotaru observed her from the corner of her eye.
"Hey, Mikan, are you alright?" Ruka asked, voice tinted with concern. But before Mikan could reply, a lout shout was heard.
"EVERYONE, LOOK OUT!!!" Someone yelled seconds before a huge fireball blasted through the window and flew around the room. Screams and shouts were heard echoing through the walls. Lower grades flooded the room, obviously the cause of the fireball.
Suddenly, a loud scream was heard and all attention turned to a lower-grade girl who was about to be hit by the fireball. There was no time to save her! She'll surely burn!
Just then, Mikan jumped in the way of the fireball and used her body as a shield for the girl.
"Stupid girl!" Natsume's voice erupted from the doorway. He quickly jumped in front of Mikan and fired another fireball to neutralize the incoming one. The two forces collided, exploded, then vanished, leaving the room in smoke and ruins.
"You stupid girl!" Natsume whirled towards Mikan who was still hugging the lower-grader. "what did you think you were doing?!"
Mikan didn't answer. Instead, she soothed the weeping girl in her arms with gentle strokes and endearing words. Natsume waited impatiently until Mikan released the girl and turned to him.
"Well?" he asked.
"I…" But Mikan broke off, body swaying like a falling tree.
"Mikan!" everyone in the room yelled, running to the pale girl.
My head really hurt, Mikan thought. My legs feel really weak.
Finally, she fell. She felt someone catch her, and heard a familiar voice shouting her name before black overtook her sight.
