Chapter 3: Injury
Bianca's POV
As I was walking back to my seat I didn't notice that someone had stuck their leg out in front of me, I noticed it too late and I was sent sprawling onto the floor. I heard a loud crack as my knee made contact with the floor, also I injured my wrist when I tried to break my fall.
Laughter erupted all around me as I tried to blink back the tears that were threatening to fall from the excruciating pain and the embarrassment. I looked up to see none other than Brianna Mallory. Of course it would be her. She's been tormenting me since she her brother Jason, and her mother Lauren moved here from Washington when she was eight.
I suddenly feel cold hands picking me up off the floor. I looked up to see my new partner Edward Cullen, his golden eyes held nothing but compassion and worry as he helped me up.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
"I don't know my knee and wrist really hurt" I said and his face just grew more concerned.
"How could you do this" he said in a threatening voice to Brianna.
"Why do you even care about her? She's so ugly" Brianna said.
Edward grew even angrier when she said that. "Have you even bothered to look in the mirror lately? Maybe you should do that before you insult someone else" he said menacingly.
I had to fight hard to keep a straight face when he said that. The look on her face was priceless, especially because she seems to believe that she is the most beautiful person on earth.
"For all of you who laughed at her, how would you like it if it was you that she had tripped" he said.
Some of the students looked guilty when he said that. At least they had a conscience.
"Brianna Mallory, go to the principle's office, I will deal with you later" my teacher said.
"Do you need to go to the nurse?" Edward asked me.
"Yes" I replied.
"She needs to go to the nurse sir" Edward said.
"Okay, here's a pass" he said.
I couldn't even walk so Edward had to carry me to the nurse.
"What happened?" the nurse asked me.
"Brianna Mallory tripped me and I hurt my knee and wrist" I said.
"Let me take a look at that" she said.
"This seems very serious" The nurse said as she was examining me.
"I could take her to the hospital my father works there" Edward said.
"That's a good idea. I will give you two passes excusing you from the rest of school" she said.
"Thanks" I said.
I see that we are walking straight towards a beautiful Volvo.
As we start the drive to the hospital he looks at me still worried and asks "How are you feeling?"
"In pain" I answer.
"Should we start talking about this project that we have to do" I ask.
"aren't you more worried about your condition?" he asked. "Talking always distracts me from pain?" I said.
"We could meet over the weekend" he said.
"That's a good idea, so we can start discussing ideas. Where should we meet?" I ask.
"Why not your house?" he said.
"We could do it at my house. I just have to ask my parents permission" I said.
"Sounds good" he said as we arrived at the hospital.
He carries me inside when I see my dad, whom works here come rushing up to me and asking me what's wrong with me.
"I hurt my wrist and knee" I said.
"I'm going to take care of another patient right now, but Dr. Cullen is free" he said.
Dr. Cullen, I forgot about him. What was a vampire doing working at a hospital? Did he think this was a buffet?
I was distracted from my thoughts when a handsome blonde man came out. I recognized him as Dr. Cullen just because I can recognize vampires.
He and Edward both helped me into an exam room where he determines that I have a bruised knee and sprained wrist; which I will need a cast for. At least it will get me out of school for the rest of the week.
