The story Twilight and its characters belongs to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
I'm sorry it has taken so long to update. I had already typed most of this chapter like three weeks ago but the computer it was saved on won't come back on like I hoped it would so I had to re type this whole chapter.
Chapter 7: Feeling Defeated
Today I had decided to sit in the Art room with . I didn't feel like listening Jessica gossip and I only got around twenty minutes of sleep last night, so I was pretty much out of mind as it was, thankfully I could walk straight. The reason why I was ding Art right know was to keep me focus enough for the rest of the day. It wasn't working as well as it usually does considering that lines were swerving together.
Jessica's gossiping has been the only thing that really bothers me lately. Edward thankfully doesn't stare at me... much. You would think someone who is trying to stay off of people's radar wouldn't stare so at someone so openly. Though he only does it sometimes I can't help but feel nervous when he does it. I try to keep my face expressionless if I accidentally look at him even when Jessica tells me how she can't believe he's staring me.
I stumbled up from my table and started putting things away when I heard the bell ring. I let out a jittery sigh because it meant another day of trying to ignore the unavoidable. I said bye to Mr. D before leaving the room.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." He said not looking up from his laptop. I closed the door and went into hall. I walked fairly slowly to class my breaths were coming out hard. And although it's been awhile since I came to this people still stare. I still haven't gotten used to it exactly but it doesn't bother me as much.
As I entered Biology I noticed that was busy trying to get kids to set up some microscopes. I looked at the board and saw in big red letters "Blood typing!". So we're doing blood typing today. I instantly looked to where Edward and I sat, yup he wasn't there. Well today was just a little easier for me. I went over to my table and sat closer to the center comfortably.
"Alright everyone place! Please take your seats! Today we're doing blood typing. So anybody who doesn't know their blood type is gonna find out today. So everybody grab your partner! All you have to do is-" said as he fated out to me. I just dropped my head on my arms and blacked out.
"Jessica. Jessica! Can you me?!" I woke up sluggishly to hear Mr. Banner shaking and calling and awake.
"Uh...Yes Mr. Banner..." I said. I feel like someone sucked the life out of me. Mr. Banner and some other students including Mike and Eric are gathered around my table looking really concerned. I guess I would concerned if a peer in my class looked like they were gonna drop dead at any minute.
"Are you okay? It took a little more then a minute to wake you up. Is it the blood typing?" He asked worriedly, seeing him upset made me feel bad so I built up strength to answer him. "No, I have sleep paralysis." I said blinking my eyes trying to moisten them.
"But some students said that they saw you faint." He said. I started ton sit up but I felt a wave of weakening dizziness and my head lolled to the side on Mike's shoulder as he caught me from falling out of my seat. I felt like I needed to vomit.
"Yeah, i'm not feeling so good." I said mumbled as Mike held me to his side.
"Mike could you take to the nurses office please." He said hurriedly looking at Mike who didn't look like he minded at all.
"Yes ." Mike said as he put my arm around his shoulders to pull me up all the way and level me with him. I didn't like that to much I wanted to hold my stomach. I could feel the whole class's eyes on Mike and I as we left and could he Mr. Banner trying to get back their attention. It seemed like gravity was pulling my brain and my heart down to the ground as we tried to get out of the halls of the school. I really need to start getting sleep at night!
As we went through the doubled doors leading outside I was hit with a wave of icy air on my warm sleep deprived face. The cool air made me head feel lighter. I started to shiver. I wish that I had my hair dryer.
"Was it the typing that did this to you?" Mike asked worriedly. I feel like crap and most likely look like it and he wants to ask me questions.
"No, I didn't sleep much at all last night. The exhaustion catches up to my body." I said with my eyes closed and my head down as dragged my feet to walk. I opened my eyes slightly and closed them right back. I felt dizzy. I saw that we still have a ways to the nurses office at because of our slow paste. But I couldn't make it I needed to lay down now or else I might stay asleep for a very very long time, hospital time. Sleep doesn't seem like that big of a deal until you're not getting it. My head felt like it had spun in a circle. Oh god.
"Uh...Please Mike put me down for a moment." I said my head falling over the rest of my body.
"But we got to make it to the nurses office. You'll feel a lot better when we get there." He said trying to keep me going.
"Mike please, I feel like i'm gonna die I need to lay down now." I said looking at his worried eyes through my half lidded hazy ones. His resolve crumbled.
"Okay, but only for a moment." He said setting me down on the concrete. I turned over and put my whole body on it. The cold solid concrete seemed to ground me. i left my legs semi apart. I felt more settled. My eyes closed as I tried to induce a deep sleep. The feeling of laying down on the cold concrete occupied most of my mind so much. I didn't notice when someone came up to us and rolled my cheek over to feel the pavement for a while. I was falling asleep until I heard Edward...Oh god. I opened my upper eye into a slit to look at them.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked Mike.
"She fainted in Biology." He stated with a look that said "get away you're not needed." Edward kneeled by my side and looked at my face he stared at me for a moment that made me take another extra breath as if I needed hyperventilation at my current state. He pulled my upper body slightly up holding the back of my head.
"You don't look so good." He stated looking at my face.
"Leave me." I manged to breath out while I looked at him through half lidded eyes. I have to still stay away from him. Get away Edward. I said in my head hoping it become a reality.
"You look like you're in need of help." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He even had a frown on his face.
" sent me with her to help her." Mike said defensively. Edward looked at him.
"Then can you tell me why is she on the ground." Edward asked trying to make Mike realize that he doesn't have a handle of the situation. My eyes we nearing to be completely closed again. Edward put his hand on my head and rubbed my hair back.
"Mmm." I moaned. His cool hand felt good on my head. I really need to keep my defenses up. Then he took his hand off my head and did something I completely didn't expect, one of the factors being because I was a few short minutes from going into unconscious. He picked me up. My eyes opened wide even though they felt like a rusty open fence now. Why would he do this after everything I said and done. Its not fair. What he does to me. Right now i'm sure if my eyes were moist enough I would cry, thankfully their not.
"What are you doing!?" Mike asked clearly angry.
"Taking her to the nurses office." Edward said like it wasn't a big deal. After he said that my head rolled onto his chest because I passed out again for several seconds. When I regained some consciousness back I opened my eyes a little and saw the side of Edwards handsome chin. That is one beautiful chin. How can someone have such beautiful a chin. I shook my head which kind of caused an earthquake in my head.
After I recovered I said in a old woman's voice "Put me down." I might not have the strength to try to elude his grasp but my mouth still kind of works.
"You're going in and out of consciousness and still you're trying to get rid me." He said with a little laugh in his voice. I couldn't really tell if he was angry or amused.
"Yes." A breathless yes was all that I could mange. I raised my head and looked at him and he looked right back at me. I don't know why but I started to search his eyes, maybe because the logical part of my was out getting sleep. I realized what I was doing and looked away. Yup my more logical side finally awakes.
"Let me go." I mumbled. I could feel him still staring at me as he walked.
"What kind of guy and son of a doctor would I be if I left a sick young women outside on the cold cement ground?" He said with a small smirk on his face as he stared down at me. I almost couldn't respond because I got hit with another wave of dizziness. My head patted against his chest. I looked up at him. This is insane.
"Let me go." I said again. He pulled me slightly closer and I looked up at him tentatively he walked a little faster.
"No." He responded and I heard doors open and close around us then saw the ceiling of the main building with the nurses office in it.
"Ehh..." I said feeling defeated. If only I went to sleep like I was supposed to. I wined in my head.
