A/N-I've decided that yesterday I spoiled you guys. I mean really, two
updations in ONE day. Do you think that you deserve that? Well, do you?
Alright, alright maybe I owe it to you, having not updated for over a
month. But it won't happen again so don't expect it to. Today you will
see an updation, and then depending on the amount of reviews I got I'll
decide if I'm gonna update again tomorrow or wait a little. Hehehe.
Alrighty then, let's get to the story!
Chapter Four: Lunch
The beginning of the day went too slowly for everybody's liking. Finally, much too the relief of the students, lunchtime rolled around. Ellie and Beth steered their way through the crowd in the cafeteria to their normal table. The table was pretty much in the middle of the cafeteria, cause like it or not, they were a popular group. They weren't exclusive, they were tight-knit, but even if you weren't one of the group they were always fun to be around. Jack, Blink, Dutchy, Snitch, Devvy, and Dru were already sitting at the table, some eating and the others just conversing.
"Hello all!" greeted Beth in a chipper manner as she pulled out a chair and sat down. "How is everyone's day going so far?"
"Shut up" growled Dru looking up from her sandwich.
"Gosh Dru. A little bitchy are we?" Ellie teased as she put her backpack on the floor and then sat down.
"No more than usual" replied Snitch who was one of Dru's closer friends.
"Thanks Snitch, I appreciate the support" Dru snapped in a joking way.
"Oh, I missed this" Dutchy said with a sigh. "The constant bickering and put downs. I don't know how I survived the summer without it."
"You know we love each other" Devvy said with a smile. "We tease because we love."
"And some more than others" Blink gave Devvy a smile and she smiled back before scooting her chair closer to his.
"I don't need this" Ellie looked away from the couple. "Really, I don't."
"She had another fight with Spot today" Classic informed as she sat down at the table next to Ellie.
"Please, I don't want to get into it" Ellie spit out in disgust. "He is such an asshole"
"But you like him anyway" Beth gave her friend a look that caused Ellie to smack her on the shoulder.
"Yeah Ellie, I don't get it" Devvy said, looking away from Blink. "If you think he's such an asshole why do you even bother with him?"
"Every girl is entitled to liking at least one guy that's totally wrong for her" Ellie retorted.
"Right, so maybe you should try liking other guys that are totally wrong for you" suggested Classic with a grin. Ellie opened her mouth to protest but a scream broke through the cafeteria. All attention was torn away from the argument as everyone looked over to a table where a freshman girl was standing on a chair, a look of shock on her face as she pointed to something on the ground.
"Somebody! Get a nurse! Quick!" People throughout the cafeteria started to mutter to each other as another freshman dashed out of the room to get a nurse.
"What do you think it is?" asked Snitch turning to his friends.
"Someone probably threw up or something like that" Jack replied with a slight laugh. "You know how over reactive freshman are."
"You were once on yourself" Classic said with a grin.
"Look!" Devvy exclaimed as a nurse rushed into the cafeteria which was now mostly quiet in anticipation.
"Get her to the clinic" the nurse hissed to two football players who had the misfortune of standing nearby. The guys bent down and lifted up a small girl, which caused Ellie to shriek.
"What?" asked Jack.
"That's my sister!" Ellie said in shock. She picked up her backpack and got up. "I gotta go find out what happened."
"Do you want me to come too?" asked Beth starting to get up also.
"No. . .no. I gotta do this myself" Ellie pushed Beth back into her seat. At the exact time that Ellie rushed away from the table Byrne placed her tray down and gave Ellie, who was now on her way out of the cafeteria, a strange look.
"Was it me?" she asked immaturely looking at everyone else sitting at the table, who in turn laughed and Byrne sat down unsurely.
Ellie exited the cafeteria and turned right, in the direction of the clinic. Much to her dismay, as she rounded the corner she bumped into Spot.
"What?" he asked in surprise, grabbing her by the waist to stop her. "What is it?"
"Joy" she muttered pulling his hand off her waist and continuing to head towards the clinic.
"Wait" Spot said, jogging to catch up with her. "What happened?"
"Not now, Spot" she said firmly and pushed past Spot, leaving him standing in the middle of the hallway looking perplexed. Ellie burst into the clinic, surprising the aids.
"Can I help you?" one asked.
"Where is she?" Ellie gasped out, trying to catch her breath.
"Miss, this doesn't concern you."
"Of course it concerns me! That's my sister!"
"Oh" the aid said in shock. "Right. She's back here, in the sick room. The ambulance is on it's way."
"Ambulance?" Ellie asked as she was led to the sick room where her sister was lying unconscious on the bed.
"Yes" the aid replied unsurely. "The girl she was sitting with said she started to act really peculiar, and then she twitched, like she was having a spasm" Ellie turned her gaze away from her sister to look at the aid who continued. "The girl said she calmed down for a few seconds and then said that she was going to faint."
"She said she was gonna faint?"
"Yes, and then apparently she fainted."
"Oh" Ellie looked back down at her little sister, who as looking a little on the pale side, paler than usual that is. In the distance she could hear sirens and could only assume that it was the ambulance, coming to get her sister.
"Ellie?" Ellie looked up, surprised to see Spot standing behind her.
"Spot? What are you doing here?"
"Well, I though you might need a little help."
"Help?" Ellie replied with a curt laugh. "There's nothing that you can do to help Joy."
"What about you?"
"I'm fine" Ellie looked away from Joy and looked Spot in the eyes. "Don't try and make up for what you said earlier cause it won't work."
"Sorry that I'm concerned about you. . ."
"Yeah, well what about Joy?" Ellie spit out coldly. "You're not concerned about her, are you?"
"Well. . ." Spot struggled, looking away.
"Forget it Spot. There's really nothing you can do or say to make things better."
"Fine then" Spot glared at Ellie, something she wasn't used to having him do to her. "I'm trying to help. And I'm trying to make things a little better and you just make them worse. I see how it is. Forget I ever asked."
"Already done" Ellie replied bitterly and looked back down at her sister. Spot sighed and walked out, past the paramedics who were rushing into the clinic. He sank down on to the floor outside the clinic and placed his head in his hands with a sigh.
The paramedics rushed into the sick room, a bit surprised to see Ellie there.
"Excuse me miss" one said as two others rushed over with a stretcher. Ellie backed away and looked over at the one who seemed to be in charge.
"Is it alright if I come in the ambulance with her?"
"That's not allowed miss."
"But I'm her sister."
"And how old are you?"
"I'm 17" Ellie lied. "Please, if she wakes up she's gonna need someone there and I know our mother won't be able to make it for at least another hour."
"Well. . ." the paramedic let out a sigh of defeat. "It's against protocol but I suppose I can let you come. Just don't tell anyone about it."
"Thank you" Ellie said gratefully and accompanied the paramedics, with Joy, who was strapped to the stretcher and in a neck brace, out of the clinic. As she exited she was surprised to see Spot sitting on the ground. He looked up at her, almost looking pitiful.
"Sorry" was all she could think of to say.
"I'm coming too" Spot stood up and stared her in theface, almost daring her to object.
"Don't."
"How are you gonna get back from the ER? I'll follow in my car. Don't. . ." he grabbed her hands and looked right into her eyes. "Don't try and tell my not to come cause I'm coming anyway."
"Damn it Spot" she said as she pulled her hands out of his grasp and looked away. "Now is not the right time to try and get what you want."
"I'm only trying to help" he said softly, cupping his hand under her chin and turning her head to face him.
"Yeah. . . well. . ." Ellie blinked and let out a huge sigh which caused Spot to grin slightly, knowing he had won. "Fine. You can come" she said in a strong tone. "I gotta go, I'm going in the ambulance" she turned to catch up with the paramedics but then turned back around, gave Spot a small kiss on the cheek and then hurried off.
