"Oh my God! Ren!" screamed Ruby kneeling down and trying to revive Ren. She turned to Larry. "This is all your fault!"

Larry was on his knees too. "Hey, don't you go blaming me, it was just a question."

"Yeah, uh-huh," said Nelson examining Ren to see if she wasn't breathing. "Right, just a question. Okay, someone has to give her mouth to mouth."

"Ew!" said Ruby and Larry at the same time.

"Who's going to do it?" asked Ruby.

Just then Tawny turned a corner and started walking down the hall where Larry, Ruby, and Nelson were crowding around unconscious Ren. She stopped when she saw Ren was on the floor.

"Oh.my.God," she said slowly.

"Tawny," cried Ruby. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in class?"

Tawny looked around the hall to see no one else but the five of them. "Oh.well, I-" started Tawny.

"No," said Nelson. "You didn't cut class did you?"

Right before Tawny could answer, Louis and Twitty came out of the boys bathroom and stopped chatting when they saw everyone- especially Ren.

"What the heck happened here?" cried Louis.

"Well," said Ruby angrily staring at Larry. "Mr. Larry Beale here just asked Ren on a date!"

Louis stared at them in disbelief. After a short couple seconds, Louis started snickering. "Ha ha! A date? That's a good one, Ruby!"

Ruby, Larry, Nelson, Tawny, and Twitty stared at Louis.

"Um, dude," said Twitty to Louis. "I think they're serious."

That swept the smile off Louis's face.

"No! That's like.what's the word." started Louis.

"Ridiculous?" asked Tawny.

"Yeah! Ridiculous! That's it!" Louis pressed his finger against his temple. "Ow, brain cramp."

They all crowded around Ren.

"What are we going to do?" asked Tawny.

"Well, we take her to the nurse," said Larry.

"How?" Ruby asked.

"We carry her," said Nelson.

They carried her to the school nurse's office, knocking into walls as they walked, and told her what happened. She didn't seem to believe them, but she put her on a small bed in the room while everyone left but Louis because he was family. The nurse called Steve and Eileen to have them come to the school also.
