Chapter 10- This is going to be a long day!

I finally made it through witch sociology, history, and dark wizards 101, but I still had combat training and horseback riding. The headache was becoming increasingly painful and almost unbearable, but I knew that I had to make it through the next two classes or go back to the nurses. I walked into the arena where obviously we were going to learn how to ride a horse. Once again there were bleachers on both sides of the oval shaped dirt arena. I took a seat in the first row planning on running out of there right when the bell rang.

Mr. Blanhouser talked the whole class about horses and how to take care of them. I zoned out after the first 10 minutes. The bell finally rang and I ran out of the arena to a giant tree in an overgrown field close to the forest, but not in the forest. I ran behind the tree opposite of the campus so no one could see and began puking my guts up. I stood the violently puking for about 20 minutes and then went around to the other side of the tree and slide down the trunk to the ground. Man, I must look like crap. My blonde side bangs were glued to the side of my face with sweat and the rest of my hair was so tangled it would take hours to brush it out even if I used conditioner.

"Hey are you okay?" I rough guy voice asked.

"Um…I think so. Who are you?" I said as I jumped up to my feet preparing to defend myself if this person had anything to do with the strange hallway episode.

"Whoa! Calm down I'm not going to hurt you! I just saw you having some uh...Issues. So I came to offer my assistance." He explained. I noticed that he had a nice strong jaw bone just what I love in a man and he had blonde shaggy hair that was just the perfect length. When I looked up into his eyes to try and judge if he was telling the truth I had to gasp at how gorgeous his ocean blue eyes were.

"No...No." I stuttered. "That's okay. I am just on alert at the moment. I am sure the whole school knows what went down yesterday am I right?" I asked still mesmerized by his eyes.

"Yep, everyone is talking about it. So now that we are over with our awkward meeting my name is Curtis. I obviously already know your name Maybella." He said as he held out his hand for me to shake. "I obviously came over here to ask you if you are alright. So are you alright?"

"I am feeling loads better now. Hey are you a first year?" I asked.

"Um…No. I am actually a 4th year. You're not a first year are you?" He asked.

"No I'm a 3rd year even though I just started going here. It's really complicated. They wanted me to stay with my cousin so they said I could jump ahead but I have to study 1st and 2nd year stuff on my free time."

"That really sucks. Hey if you need help with something I would be glad to help you out sometime."

"Actually I really need help on the spells, but are you sure you want to help even after you just saw me puke my guts up?" I asked him clearly self conscious about what he saw me do.

"O course! How about we study today before dinner before dinner?"

"Sure why not. I obviously missed my last class. What happens if you miss a class?"

"Oh nothing really, you just have to give them a liable reason for skipping."

"Well are you ready to go to the library and study?" he asked politely. "Unless you don't feel up to it?"

"No! Let's go and learn some spells!" I exclaimed really quite eager to learn.

We entered the library and got straight to business. We looked up some books on standard spells and the basics. After I memorized everything I could Curtis let me try some spells on him. Of course I got basically everyone of them wrong, but he still said I did well while we were departing for dinner.

"Hey do you want to sit with my group at lunch and I can introduce you to some people?" he asked with a sense of hope in his eyes.

"Sure why not. I mean I usually sit with Annabelle, but she can live without me for one hour." I said and smiled at him before I left the room.

I found Curtis and two other guys sitting at a booth near a window.

"Hey Curtis!" I said as I walked up to his table.

"Hey May! Guys this is May and I invited her to eat with us. May, this is Jessie and Victor."

Victor had really short hair that was close to a buzz cut and he was muscular and looked like he could beat you in anything involving strength. Jessie was just the opposite he was skinny, but had a little tone to his body and he was very tan with dark, black, shaggy hair.

"Hey Maybella was happenin?" Jessie asked.

"Um... Well I hope nothings happenin because I am famished!" I replied not sure what happenin means.

They all just looked at me funny and then burst out laughing. I watched as Curtis fell out of his side of the booth and Victor clutched his stomach.

"What?" I asked not sure what they found so funny.

"You… are so… funny!"Victor said between laughs.

"Fine! Move over Jessie. "I sat across from Curtis and waited till they stopped acting like two year olds.

"Aww, May don't be that way we were just joking." Curtis said as the food appeared.

"Yeah, I guess I am kind of stupid. Food Thank goodness!" I said as I filled my plate with one of everything.

We sat at the table for about two hours and talked about everything including all the laughing they were doing at me. I never knew I was that funny maybe I should be a comedian.

"Well I have had a lot of fun, but I haven't had the best day and I need to go to bed so seeya!" I said giving each of them a goodbye hug.

"Hey, Bella will you sit with us tomorrow?" Curtis asked.

"Sure, you guys are much cooler then Annabelle's group of friends." I said and then walked out of the dinner hall so tired that I wasn't even sure that I was heading in the right direction to my room. I hit something and feel back onto my butt.

"Owww." I grumbled while trying to find my center of gravity again. I felt the pulsing before the real headache came so I had time to prepare myself. The pain wasn't as bad as the first time, but it wasn't too much more bearable.

"Maybella I am so sorry. Are you okay?" A very familiar voice asked. I would recognize this voice in a crowd of 100 people because it was the last voice I heard before I blacked out the night before.

It was Roberts.
