Secretive For My Own Good...I Think..
The glass clinked against her teeth, the slightest noise making her jump, her heart beating erratically against her chest. She looked nervously around the reception area, making sure nobody saw her, she didn't want to be seen like this. She placed the glass with only a few sips of water missing on the coffee table, and wiped her sweaty palms down her old school trousers. She breathed a sigh of relief, nobody was around, regretting it immediately as a sharp pain rocketed through her body. The pain had been there beforehand, she had just found that way of sitting where it just became a dull throb, had now escalated into irregular pangs rising up from her stomach to her throat. She noticed her breathing had come out of its natural rhythm, and she tried to even it out again. She had completely zoned out from the world around her,
"Rikki. Rikki. Rikki?" She finally rejoined the world surrounding her, just as the school nurse continued getting increasingly concerned about her. A dull groan came from Rikki's lips. The nurse laid a hand on Rikki's thigh, causing her to jump up in surprise, then curl up in pain.
"I'm sorry..Did I hurt you?"
"No..Y-You just made me jump..That's all.."
"Can you tell me where it hurts? You look like you're in a lot of pain, Can you tell me why?"
"Why am I here?"
"Your boyfriend bought you here. You fainted in English."
"Oh.."
"Will you tell me where it hurts?" She asked kindly.
"No, I'm fine, honestly." She said jumping to her feet, falling to the ground, being caught just in time by the nurse.
"Right. You sit down there, I'll be in the office, I need to make a few calls."
Rikki's breath halted for a second.
"W-Who to?" Her voice cracking half way through the sentence.
"Your father, you need to get home. Maybe to a hospital,"
Father
Home
Hospital
She threw her head back, the pain was worse now than ever.
The words circled through her brain as she drifted into unconsciousness.
Father
Home
Hospital
