Chapter 4

Under repairs

This. Gymnasium. Was. HORRIBLE! It looked like someone came in here with a bulldozer! The walls were smashed with big holes in them; the nets for Basketball were starting to come off; the benches were almost cut in half; and the emergency doors were almost torn off. The rest of the school was perfect; it was just the Gym that was the wreck! I headed for the girls' changing room and got dressed. The rest of the girls came after I was changed. I went to try out the balls to see if they weren't also under repairs. Luckily, they weren't. They bounced perfectly and weren't deflated at all. Well, at least there was something good about this Gym...

I bounced a few times the ball and tried my luck to get a free throw but without any luck, Mr. Wood, our Gym teacher, blew his whistle to warn the other students that class had started.

I was first to arrive ten feet away from where the teacher was standing but the others came running moments later. Mr. Wood was surprised that a student that had never been in his class before was there before anyone else.

"Well, at least someone in this class is early!" Oh no... Please don't put me on the spot. Please! "What's your name, Miss?"

"Jules..." I had to say it. I didn't want to get in trouble. I just wanted this class over with so that I could do my homework. I didn't have much Math homework, only a couple of numbers to do but English and a little bit of Physics. I wanted to get it over so that I could relax on my bed.

"Well, I see that Jules could be an example to all of you! Welcome to Olympia, by the way."

"Thanks."

"Alright, I know the Gym's a disaster right now, BUT, someone vandalized this and now, we've got to pay the price... literally. So, the school's getting the money to repair this place right now so, we'll have to deal with the downgrades for now." Mr. Wood grabbed a ball and started turning it in his hands while speaking to us. "So, let's continue with those game plays you guys worked on Friday. Dan, why don't you give a heads up for Jules?"

"Sure." Dan was quite buff but was shorter than I was, and I was 5' 9". But he had his charm, just like Gus or Austin. His hair went to the bottom of his ears.

Mr. Wood whistled and the others started grabbing balls on the racket. Dan explained me that they were trying a Three on Three play and that I would be on his team. They needed an extra player anyways. I didn't mind. I loved Basketball and I wanted to play... badly! They were trying to do a fake pass to mislead the other team and he was done in five minutes. Well, that didn't take long. We started playing after the other team had perfected their game play. I was sort of afraid of the nets. They were a hair away from falling on the ground.

The ball was handed to me first. I had to pretend to pass it to Jennie but I passed it to Dan instead. Right after, I had to hurry up right under the net in case the ball didn't go in the net. Oh dang it! What luck! Dan shot the ball towards the net and it swished.

"Yeah!" I guess it was something special for Dan.

I was happy for him. Dan didn't seem like the sports kind. Sure, he might press a few weights a day but that's about it. Mr. Wood whistled us to go get some water. Class was already half way done. Wow, time flies when you're having fun. I wasn't thirsty so I just stayed where I was. I put my hands in my hair and tried to close my eyes. I was trying to relax. Crac! What the...? I opened my eyes and heard the noise again. The sound didn't come from around me... it came from right above me! Oh dang! The net was falling! The other students were still on their water break and I couldn't move.

Why can't I move? If I don't, I'll get squished like a fly on a wall! Come on! Move! The net was coming off even more. What was I going to do? NO! CRAC! The net started falling towards my head. The only thing I could do was put my hands up on my head to protect it. The glass net was falling and I felt my body going down. Something cold pushed my stomach down. I fell to the ground and my head hit the hardwood floor sharply. Someone or something was on top of me... My head felt like it was swollen. I heard a crash right beside me. It must have been the glass net, falling right on me. Oh god... I'm going to die. And I'm going to die on my first day! Great! Just great!

I felt a sharp pain in my head and in my left leg. The impact of the net on the ground must have made the glass fall... I tried opening my eyes to see if I was truly dead but it was hard. I must have hit my head badly because I could smell something familiar. My blood must have fallen on the floor from my head. I fluttered my eyes slightly to see a beautiful pale face in front of me with beautiful dark topaz eyes. My god! It's the mystery man at Lunch today!

"Are you alright?" That angelic voice asked me.

"Yeah... thanks..." I couldn't stand all of this pressure on my head. He was still on me but had the net on his back! What?! That's not possible! If the net fell on him, he'd be dead by now! The net covered his whole body and he was taller than me.

I tried to get up but it hurt so much. My head was killing me!

"Jules; don't try to move so much." That angelic voice relaxed me. I still had my eyes open slightly and tried to lie back down.

"Thanks... um..."

"Edward Cullen." Cullen... He might be related to Emmett.

"Edward..." It hurt so much that the darkness was overpowering me. I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. My eyes started to fall and I was now in the darkness.

"Jules. Jules, can you hear me? Jules!" I could hear him but I couldn't move at all. Not only because he was standing right on top of me, but because the darkness was dragging me closer and closer into nothing.

"Someone get her out of there!" I heard Mr. Wood say from beside me.

I could feel people dragging me from under the net. But what about Edward? I couldn't feel him on me anymore.

"She's lost some blood! Stacy, get the phone from my office and call an ambulance." I could hear the sound of footsteps disappear and reappear seconds later. Some dialing was going on as well. Probably the girl named Stacy was calling for an ambulance as Mr. Wood said.

"They'll be here soon." Stacy had a pretty low voice. Probably shy or something.

"Is she going to be alright?" Dan was worrying too much about this.

"It seems she only has a concussion. She should be alright." Oh. Wow... So beautiful. It must have been Edward.

"Mr. Cullen, I didn't see you there." Mr. Wood. I could tell from his deep voice.

The doors of the Gym opened and I could hear wheels coming along the floor.

"Clear the way, paramedics coming through! What have we got here?" An unfamiliar voice said. I couldn't quite make it out but someone was poking around my eyes and other parts of my face.

"The net fell and this man here stepped in to save Mrs. Shrike but we think she has a concussion. And some scrapes." Mr. Wood's deep voice rang through the Gym like a stereo.

"Also a large cut across the leg. She'll be fine, if we get her to the hospital in time. Let's get her strapped in." I could feel people putting something around my neck. Please don't say it's a neck brace! I HATE those things! I was lifted up and put down in a mere second on a comfy cushion. It felt nice to be off of the hardwood floor and onto the stretcher.

"You might think of getting this place fixed up. I wouldn't want to come here all the time because of stuff like this." It didn't sound like the first man talking. I don't know how many people were treating me but I wasn't that badly hurt... was I?

Something cold touched my pained face and it felt nice.

"Be safe." That angelic voice whispered in my ear. I recognized it. Edward Cullen. I still couldn't believe he saved me. I was grateful for that. They swept me away from the Gym and onto the hallway and away from Edward. NO! Take me back there! I didn't care if I was beat up! I wanted that cold hand on my warm face.

I felt the wind in my face as I was being brought out of the school on the stretcher. People were gasping at me. I didn't blame them. I probably looked atrocious! I was outside in no time. It was so cold! We were close to winter anyways so it was normal for the temperature to drop. The paramedics were putting me in the ambulance truck soon after. They put a warm blanket on my body so that I wouldn't get cold. It was nice of them.

"It won't be long, Mrs. Shrike. We'll take care of you." Sure I wanted to hear that but not from that guy. I tried to remember what Edward had said to me in the Gym before they took me away. Be safe. That ran through my mind and it relaxed all of my nerves. I let the darkness take me and I couldn't hear anything anymore. My heart was still beating at a normal pace but I couldn't hear or feel anymore. My body was too relaxed to feel anything.

It felt like an eternity when I fluttered my eyes open. How long had I been out? I realized after taking a good look around that I was in a hospital room. It felt nice to be in a bed but I would have liked to be in my own bed right now. Henry wasn't even here. Wow... It didn't matter right now. At least I was out of that horrifying place they call a Gym. So much for my first day... My leg was bandaged up but not in a cast. So I could still get up because my bum was getting numb. I tried to get up but I felt a sharp pain in my head. I had to lie back in the bed but it was worth a shot. I tried to take off the gauze around my head but a cold hand stopped me in my tracks.

"It wouldn't be wise to take that off right now." It was Edward.

Oh!!! This is getting good:) What will happen next? Please review!!! I at least want to get 4 or 5 reviews. Please :)
