You Saved My Life: The Accident

New York City High School
It was just a bizarre of an afternoon in New York City. The reason for that was because a rapid chase was happening downtown. New York definitely isn't having a good day with this happening. Although that never really occurred to the students of New York High School, since they didn't have any clue about the tandem that was happening just a couple blocks from there.
Grade 7 - Courage, was just dismissed for the day. Out came the teenage students, including the friendship duo, Sherman and Penny. They were talking about how big and heavy the following weeks were going to be, since it was going to be the last month of their freshman year. In other words, more tests, more all-nighters, and a lot more to be done with.
Sherman went out without Penny nowadays, since he wanted to study harder without distractions—he seriously had not much of "chill" in a while now. The blonde, however, was able to catch up to him before leaving the school gates.
"Hey, Sherman!" She caught his attention.
Sherman turned his head and saw her. "Yo, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you would wanna go for some ice cream, you want?" she asked him with a smile.
"Sorry, but I can't. Like I said before, I'm really focusing on studies right now. Not really stopping for anything." He walked towards her.
"Come on, that brain of yours isn't going to live forever in a while without sweet goodness," she claimed. He gave her a one eyebrow-raise and a facial expression to add up to it. "Okay, maybe after tests, you down?"
He let out a sigh. "OK, fine, after tests. You do have a point, my brain has just been feeding on a lot of bitterness. I do need some sweetness."
"Yes," she hissed silently and formed another smile. "See you then."
"See ya," he gave her his goodbye and walked to his bike. Whilst Penny, on the other hand, walked home. Her house was just a couple blocks, deeming that it is not big deal.
People around and involved with Sherman and Penny's life had always thought they were a cute pair—a romantic one, even. Even though that Sherman and Penny never came clean to how and what they feel about each other, friends and family would know that there is some love in their relationship. The two never even spoke about it, as it would be a little awkward if they did. From enemies to New York High School's most shipped pair, they quite had the history together, no pun intended. Penny was not much of the average simple brilliant and rich-ish girl you'd come see everyday. She was one of the best that the world had to offer. On the other hand, Sherman was just an auburn-haired boy always looking out for the safety and security of any one of his friends. And that shall be tested today.
Penny was just walked towards her way to the pedestrian lane with earphones that has music playing, thinking about how tough and twisted Sherman's head could be right now. Not just that, but thinking on how time flies just so fast. When the traffic lights hit red and the pedestrian light hit go, she thought that it would be safe to cross the street. Sadly, it was not. As she was walking to the other side of the street, there came, immediately, sounds of sirens and screeching of tires.
Sherman just put his bag in the bike's basket, not until he heard it too. Penny was too busy with the music and thinking, yet it didn't make her realize that something was about to her. A car's rapid engine was heard enough, and she wasn't able to turn her head in the slightest. Next thing she knew, an unknown force pushed her safely to the other side of the street—the sidewalk. The first instinct of Penny's was to get up and see what pushed her. When she did, her heart almost died. Fifteen minutes later, the next thing Penny knew was that she was holding the back of a medical bed that was rapidly heading for the E.R., with her heart beating a million times faster and tears streaming down her face.
