AN: Sorry, I forgot to mention last time that the word the drabble is based off of will be the name of the chapter. I will also put it in the chapter from here-on-out.
Paper Cut
They didn't go from the same school, but they didn't live too far away from each other, either. In fact, Noah was often over at Owen's place to tutor him on science. And math. . . and English. . . okay, fine, Noah tutored Owen on just about every subject you can tutor someone on. In return, Owen offered to tutor Noah in his best subject: lunch!
Oddly enough, the cynical teen wasn't interested.
The two ex-contestants were studying together when Owen sliced his right pinkie on the corner of his paper.
"Ow!" Owen cried.
Noah quickly looked up from the text book. "What?"
Owen showed Noah his bleeding finger. "Look!"
Noah rolled his eyes and looked back down at the text book, clearly no longer interested.
"Noah!" Owen whined. "I'm bleeding! And it stings!"
Noah once again took his eyes away from the book and looked up at his friend's pouting face. With a small sigh of exasperation, Noah dug into his book bag and pulled out a small bandage. Owen held out his hand and with another eye roll, Noah wrapped the bandage around Owen's bleeding pinkie, being surprisingly gentle about it.
"You carry bandages in your book bag?" Owen asked Noah once he was done and had already gone back to the text book. "Why?"
Without looking up from the book, Noah responded, "because I know how accident-prone you are. And how you love to exaggerate."
