Chapter 10: Left Behind and Rescued

Antonio had finally returned after we waited for a while at the park. Lovino wasn't very happy, and I was debating on whether I should enter the conversation or not.

"Oh come on Lovino. I'm sorry I was late. There's so much traffic."

Lovino turned his back to him. "You could of at least called! What's the point of having a cell phone if you don't use it."

"I really am sorry-

"That's not an excuse."

I decided to get in the conversation. "Don't worry Antonio. Lovino here," I reached for Lovino's shoulder, "was just really worried about you."

Lovino turned around surprised, "I what!? No...it's not-

Antonio's eyes brightened, "Ah, Lovino. You should of just said so."

"Leave me alone." He turned away again.

"Aww. Looks like someone needs a cheer- up charm."

"No. Don't!"

"What's a cheer-up charm?"

"Don't encourage him!"

"A cheering charm goes like this. Fusususu-

"I don't know you." Lovino started walking away as quickly as possible.

"Wait, the cheering charm isn't done yet." Antonio started running after him.

I ran after them trying my best to catch up to them. But they were getting further and further away, and the area was so crowded. Until I finally lost sight of them.

I sat down on the bench. I've tried to find them, but I just ended up getting lost deeper into the town. Where they searching for me too? Then I saw a public phone booth. Perfect, I could call them! Then I realized I didn't knew either of their phone numbers. So I decided to call my family instead. After all, I was suppose to call them weeks ago.

I called them and they were so happy to hear from me. I spoke to all of my family members and I gave them a quick update.

Then I had to say good-bye to them, since I didn't had enough coins with me.

I sat on the bench again. It was getting darker now. I guess I should find my way back to campus. Once I figured out the public transportation. And it was getting cold too, plus each time there were less people passing by.

I made my way to the bus stop, when I noticed a group of guys at a distance. I quickened my steps, and they did too. Soon I was running through the city, trying to lose them. One of them caught up to me and grabbed me by the blazer, but I took the blazer off and continued running. I hopped over the fence, but lost my balance and fell scraping one of my knees. During those few seconds, they had caught up to me again. This wasn't turning out so well.

Then a hamburger came flying and hit one of the guys directly. During those seconds, someone else had climbed the fence and landed in front of me. I couldn't tell who it was; there back was to me and it was too dark to tell.

"If you guys don't want this to end up like a Hollywood type scene, then I suggest you all leave."

Not one of them left, so a fight broke out. At first it looked like he would need help, but at the end he won. "Aw man, that was a waste of a good hamburger."

He turned to me, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks." I got up slowly and grabbed the fence to keep myself standing. My knee was hurting.

"Rosa?"

What!? Only one person would call me my second name. "Alfred?"

"It is you! Wow, your hair is shorter than the last time I saw you."

"Of course, that was years ago. What are you doing around here?"

Alfred took off his coat and put it over my shoulders. "I just returned from a vacation trip. I happened to be passing by when I noticed the commotion."

"Oh. So you are attending World Academy too!"

"Yup! Let's go back now."

When he turned back again, he noticed I had only moved a couple of paces. "What's wrong?"

"Just my knee. I'll be fine."

He got near to check, but there wasn't enough light. So he put his hand on my knee. "You're bleeding." He tore a cloth and tied it around my knee. "How did this happened?"

"When I hopped over the fence-

Before I could finish my sentence he picked me up and headed to the bus stop.

"Alfred, it's okay. Please put me back down."

"Can't. Not until we have reached school campus."

I started blushing when we finally reached an area where there where more people. Some of them kept turning. I tried my best to hide my face the whole time.

Thanks for reading! And sorry for lateness.

Ahh, sorry if it felt rushed. And I should figure out soon which direction I'll be going with the story.
