Chapter 10- Infirmary
Marvel's POV
I woke up and instinctively took in my surroundings.
I was in a room with bland, white walls and cabinets full of medicine.
After an unsuccessful attempt to sit up, I decided to just lie back down. I could still sense discomfort, for something felt unnatural. I tried sniffing the air, but the agony overcame my curiousness. Skimming my nose with my hand, I felt as though my nose was on fire, and touching it just increased the content of the flames.
I looked at my arms only to find patches of purplish bruises covering my rough skin.
"What the hell happened?" I murmured to myself.
Someone who had been watching quietly from the doorway entered inaudibly and stood next to me.
"Hello Marvel. I'm Nurse Hazel. How are you feeling?" She asked in a moderate tone.
"Uh, a bit sore. Why? What exactly happened to me?"
"Your friend Cato became concerned about something, so you and he had a fight. You are currently recovering from short-term memory loss." Really? "What was the last thing you remember?"
"Um," I said, trying to rack my brain. "I was talking to my friend Gloss in Gym class," I replied.
"Well, then you remember nothing of this fight?"
"No. Sorry ma'am."
"Okay then. You are going to stay in here until tomorrow morning if that's okay with you? We just need to make sure you have no major injuries before you go off on your own," she stated.
"Yeah, that should be fine. If you don't mind me asking, where am I?"
"You're currently stationed in the school infirmary Sweetheart," She kindly told me. "I'll just let your teachers know that you won't be attending classes today."
Only when she left the room was I able to detect someone else sharing the space with me.
Across the room was Cato.
Finnick's POV
I was wondering down the halls, heading to math class, when I heard a group of girls talking amongst themselves.
"I wonder if Cato is doing okay."
"Marvel sure gave his leg a good kick there."
Slightly confused, I walked up to the girls and tapped one on the shoulder.
She turned around and squealed. "H-hi F-Finnick."
"Hi," I said. "Would you mind telling me what happened with Marvel and Cato?"
Her face fell at my question, obviously not expecting it.
"Well, something happened between Marvel and Katniss Everdeen, and Cato felt protective of her. So Marvel and Cato got in to a big fight in the gymnasium, and now they're both in the infirmary," She concluded arrogantly.
"Thanks," I said and walked down the hall to the infirmary.
I reached the infirmary and pushed open the door.
I walked in on a sight I never thought I would see.
Marvel and Cato were sitting in beds opposite to one another, viciously glaring at each other with an intensity that radiated off of them.
"Whoa there guys. Calm down," I said as I walked into the room.
They both looked at me.
"It's his fault! He started this whole thing!" Cato shouted.
"My fault? You're the one who started this whole fight! I don't even remember what happened!"
"Well none of this would have happened if it wasn't for you!"
"I didn't do anything wrong!" Marvel retorted.
"That's it!" Cato started to take the comforter off, but I got to him first.
I pushed him back down saying, "Whoa, buddy, calm it. Okay? Do you want me to get the nurse?"
He scowled, but obediently lay back down.
"Now, I'm going to go ask the nurse for Marvel to be put in a separate room." I gave each of them a look. "In the mean time, please try not to kill each other."
I walked out the door and made my way to the main office, heading straight up to Mrs. Trinket's desk.
"How may I help you m'dear?" She asked a little too chirpily.
"May I see Nurse Hazel?"
"One minute sweetie," She replied then got up and left.
I took a seat in a pink plush chair next to a mahogany table filled with pictures of cats. I swear she's going to be one of those ladies who die with like thirty seven cats by her side.
She came back about five minutes later with the nurse trailing behind her.
"What is it?" She quickly questioned, checking my forehead for a fever.
I gently moved her hand off my face and said, "I'm fine, but I was wondering if Marvel Stokes and Cato Riley could be in separate rooms? I just went to see them and Cato almost gave Marvel another injury."
"Of course, let me go take care of that now." With that she hurried out of the room.
"Now, young man, please continue with your afternoon classes." Effie looked at me sternly.
"Yes Miss. Trinket," I politely replied, nodding to her as I left the room. I took a look at the clock down the hall and noticed that my last class would be ending in five minutes so I decided to just go to the cafeteria, where we would all meet up.
Marvel's POV
After Finnick left Cato and me alone again, we continued to glare in a barbarous way.
About ten more minutes of silence and glares later, Nurse Hazel re-entered.
"You two are being separated into two rooms for both of your safeties. Cato, you'll stay here. Marvel will be coming with me."
She rolled my bed into the room across the hall and shut the door.
"Finally," I whispered to myself, relieved to have wrenched my stare from those vile eyes.
I picked up my phone for entertainment, but decided to call Katniss instead.
The phone rang two times before she chose to pick it up.
"Hello?" The melodic voice chimed through the phone.
"Hey Katniss, it's Marvel."
A moment of silence. "Oh... hi."
"I wanted to apologize for earlier, I don't know what came over me and I'm sorry," I stated, slightly hopeful.
"I'm sorry Marvel, I'm just going to need some time, okay?"
I nodded in understanding, even though she couldn't see me. "Yeah, sure. I get it."
"Thanks. Bye."
"Bye."
The line went dead signaling that she had hung up.
I put my phone down in defeat. She just needed some time; Everything will be okay.
Feeling tired, I decided to let my sleep get the best of me.
