Alan closed his locker with a smile. Finally, after a rough day of school, it was over...
"Alright, time to head home." He turned around began to make way, but Masami appeared in front of him. "Masami?"
"Alan, we need your help. It's about Carmen." Alan raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"
"Jamie kinda rubbed Aloe Vera on her and drank cactus juice right in front of her. So she kinda is freaking out and is barely breathing." Masami explained to the best of her ability.
Blinking in shock, Alan had a determined look now.
"Where is she?"
Carmen lied on the floor of the football field with a panicked look. She barely spoke, and even if she could, it was nothing but gibberish and not understandable. Her friends looked at each other, unsure what to do.
However, their confusion on what to do ended when Alan finally came into field. Spotting Carmen, went up to her with concern. "Carmen? You okay?"
No response came from the cactus, who was twitching.
"Carmen, it's me, Alan."
Nothing. Now, he decided to look at her dead in the eyes.
"Carmen, look at me. I won't let that happen to you...whatever she threaten you with." Alan said with upmost sincerity.
"...You mean it?" Carmen said with panic in her tone.
"yes."
Silence, before Alan was pulled into a hug. Now and then, Carmen finally started breathing.
