[Bitter-sweet Lives]

Chapter two, Genesis's crush

Genesis was always a quiet girl, she was also tall like the rest of her family. She also, like her brother, was not popular at all. She was teased, but only sometimes. She has friends that do not go to her school, but their also her relatives. She never had any friends at school, except for Raivis. He was always so nice to her and he always listened to her when she talked. Her heart beats faster with just the thought of him, and her face went a light pink when he complemented her. The only problem with this is that she's thirteen and he's fifteen. Anyways, So when she went school that day things went crazy.

She walked into homeroom, keeping her books close to her. Someone stuck their leg out, tripping her. She fell onto the ground, her books scattering and her glasses cracking on her face. A familiar red and warm liquid slowly ran down her face, the glass had cut her. She held her face, trying to hide it as she picked up her books. When she stood up she quickly went to her seat. When she sat down she removed her hand from her face, the blood getting on her desk. It wasn't until after homeroom was over that the teacher noticed. "Genesis, are you okay?" she asked, staring at her along with the class. "Yes Ma'am, it's just a cut" Genesis answered, looking up at the teacher. The teacher shook her head in disbelief "No, Genesis you need to go to the nurse's right now!" she ordered, a sense of worry in her voice. "If you wish" Genesis said, getting her stuff and walking out the room.

When she got to the nurse's room the blood had not stopped coming. The nurse's face went pale and her eyes went wide "How did this happen? she asked, sitting her on the little bed in the room. "Someone tripped me and when I hit the ground my glasses broke and the glass cut me" she said as the nurse removed the broken glasses from her face. "Yes, and how long ago was this?" she asked, Genesis shrugged "Earlier this morning, when I was walking into the classroom" she recalled, the thin nurse frowned "Well Genesis, I'm afraid I don't have the tools to help you. Not to mention you've lost a lot of blood and there is glass in your cut. You need to go to the hospital now" she said, calling an ambulance for her. "Why are you calling an ambulance?" Genesis asked, after the nurse was done with the call she looked at her "Because if I don't you might bleed out" she explained, calling her parents.

Genesis was taken to the hospital, her parents were in the waiting room. Caitlin and Ivan sat there for a couple hours before they were aloud to see her. By then school was over and More and Raivis were rushing to go see her. Only two people were aloud to be in there at a time so her mother and father went in first. "Genesis! Do you feel okay? I"m so sorry this happened!" Caitlin started, rushing to the bed side. Genesis nodded "I'm okay, it was just a deep cut. They said it might leave a small scar though" Ivan rubbed her face without the back of his hand "I'm so glad you're okay. I don't know what I would do without my little sunflower" Genesis smiled "I love you mama and daddy" she said, sitting up a bit.

After her mom and dad were gone More and Raivis went in. "Hey, man you look terrible" More joked, Genesis giggled "I love you too, More" Raivis sighed "I'm sorry this happened, that person deserves to be punished" he said, making Genesis's face a light pink. "Wait, More didn't you have to meet that girl at the park?" she asked, More nodded "Yeah, I told her that you were in the hospital and she's going to come over tomorrow" he said, Raivis stood there in silence. Genesis looked over at him "Are you okay?" she asked, he nodded "Yeah, I'm just thinking" "Oh"

More half smiled, leaving them alone. He knew about Genesis's liking towards Raivis, he also knew that Raivis liked her to. Genesis sighed, closing her eyes. "Raivis?" she asked, breaking the silence with her high voice. "Yes?" he asked, sitting in the chair next to the bed. There was a slight hesitation in her voice "More told me that you l-liked me" she said, her face putting a tomato to shame. The exact moment she finished the sentence his face went red. "W-well, uh-I… umm" he couldn't deny it, he really did like her. He just was afraid to admit it. One, because he's a little shy and two, because her dad was really scary and probably didn't want his daughter dating him. So, he just nodded looking down, his face even more red than hers.

Genesis smiled to herself "I like you to" she said quietly, she wasn't comfortable with he "L" word. Raivis looked up, a surprised look on his face "Y-You do?" he asked, making sure he heard correctly. She nodded, causing him to give her a hug. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that" he said quietly, she blushed but it soon disappeared at the thought of what her father, Ivan would think. "What about my dad?" she asked, knowing he wouldn't approve. "We could just not tell him, I know it's risky but it could work" she thought for a moment "Okay then, that sound like a plan. Just… we need to tell them sooner or later" he nodded, kissing her cheek. He smiled a small smile "Your cheek is warm" he said, making Genesis smile. She rubbed his cheek, giggling "So is yours"

Genesis was checked out within the half-hour. They drove home in silence, Genesis smiling anyway. When they got home Ivan pulled her aside "Why was Raivis there?" he asked, she kept a pokerface "He's my friend" she said, shrugging. He nodded, she sighed as she went to her room quickly. That was close call, one hesitation in her voice and he would've been suspicious. She decided to take a quick shower before going to bed. She smiled, falling asleep to the thought of Raivis's smile.
