Even though I know my exams are coming, I still can't help but to write a new chapter. Tehehe.
Please enjoy reading~
Chapter 6
Fine's Pov
As I started to walk home, I decided to go on a longer route for a different scenery since I always see the same view whenever I take the shortcut every time we're dismiss from school. And I'm tired of it.
It's a good thing there is another way to our apartment~
On my way, I saw a guy lying on the ground and in a dark part of the path. I run to him.
"Hey mister, are you alright?" I said poking his shoulder but he didn't budge to move.
I was surprised when I turn him over. It- IT'S SHADE!
"Hmp. Why would I help someone like you?" I said as I stand up and walk away.
"Argh! But I can't let you die here!" I said walking back. Why is he lying here unconscious in the first place?
I crouched down and look at him. He can't be beaten since he doesn't have any wounds. I put my hands in his forehead giving me a shocked.
"Oh my gosh! You're burning hot!"
"Oh, that's why I feel dizzy."
"Gaaah! You're awake?!" I said crawling backward. That surprised me!
"Yeah. And heard all you said." He said standing up, wearing his famous smirk.
"And so? *sigh* Go home and take your medicine."
"I know that. Argh, my head hurts."
"That's why I told you—Hey!" I was about to tell him to go home when he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, I caught him before that happens.
Waaah! I don't have a phone to call an ambulance. The payphone is far from here.
I don't have a choice.
"Agh, you're so lucky that I saw you." I said as I carry him in my back. Heavy!
When I got home-
"Mother! Help me! Help me!" I cried outside as she dashed to open the door for me.
She gaped at me as I walked inside and put Shade down on the sofa.
"W-who's he?"
"He's my classmate. I saw him lying on the ground with a fever and got no choice but to bring him here."
"You really are a kind daughter. I'll go get a basin with water and a towel. And oh, I made chicken soup so give him some to eat. It's still warm."
"Okay! And I'll go find some medicine."
After some minutes, mother put the basin and the towel on a table beside the sofa.
"Shade, wake up and eat this."
He open his eyes and look at me.
"Agh, where am I?"
"You're at my house." I answered as I help him to get up.
I gave him the medicine after he ate the soup.
"Now, go to sleep and have some good rest. Tomorrow, you'll get better, I assure you." I told him.
He just nodded and went back to sleep. My mother put a wet towel on his forehead before she went to her room.
I, on the other hand, stay on his side.
The next day~
Shade's POV
I woke up feeling better.
Right. I'm at the red-head's house. I sit up straight and look at the surroundings.
When I was about to stand, I look down and was stunned to see someone sleeping on the floor.
I crouched down and watched her sleeping.
Really, she never picks a place where to sleep. How can she manage sleeping on a hard floor with only a thin blanket as a cover?
"…you really are interesting." I said, unconsciously smiling at the sight of her.
I carried her and gently put her on the sofa.
"I'll repay you sometime." I said and turn away.
I walk towards the door and went outside.
-2 hours later-
Fine's POV
"Gaaah! H-how? Why am I here?! W-where is he?"
"Oh, you finally woke up."
"M-mother!"
"If you're looking for him, he already left early this morning."
"Oh…"
"Aren't you going to ask me how did you get there?" She asked with a mischievous smile.
"D-did I c-climb up the sofa half-asleep?"
"No."
"Then, did I push him out of here while I'm half-asleep? A-and the reason why he left early?!"
"*sigh* He carried you like a princess and puts you there. Isn't he a nice guy?"
"Oh… did what!?"
"He carried you. Want me to repeat it?"
"No! No. That's enough. How did you know? Did you… make him do that?" I said looking at her suspiciously.
"Why would I? He didn't even know I was watching him earlier."
I looked down, too shocked from what my mother said.
"Oh, you're blushing~"
"Stop teasing me, mom! *sigh* I'll go take a bath." I said, going to the bathroom. I heard her giggle. Sometimes, she's so childlike.
After an hour-
*Riiiing* *Riiiing*
"Mother, will you answer the phone for me? I'll just finish this one." I said focusing on stitching the head of a bear I'm making.
"Okay."
A minutes after—
"Fine, it's a phone call from a friend of yours~"
"Got it!" I said putting my things down and walk towards the telephone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Fine! Are you free this lunch?"
"Y-yes!"
"Please meet me at the park at 11. I'll wait for you, okay?"
"Sure! See you there!"
