"I don't plan on doing something like that. I have no interest- never mind. Just tell me where she is,"

"Hahaha!" the other three girls broke out laughing, "Talyor doesn't like guys like you, don't waste your time behind her," they told me but I was better off ignoring them

"She walked away a few minutes ago. Run to the hallway maybe if you are fast enough you will find her in the way,"

"Hm. thanks a lot, Cheryl" I ran off thanking her.

Why was I looking for her? Cause I wanted to ask what was with her. What was with the kiss, what's with the photos. I ran out of the cafeteria.

I ran through a few students, didn't stop running, I soon came out of the old building, came out to the first year's campus, passed it, went to the next school building where our classes, our boarding rooms were.

"Oi Ryan! Where the fuck are you going?!" I hear a familiar voice, "Stop running the fuck around right now!"

I stopped, it was Naomi and others standing behind me. I was confused. Should I chase Taylor down or shall I go back to the infirmary?

I was stuck between making those choices, "The infirmary is this way, where are you going? And that too so fast?" Gwen asked coming towards me.

'Fuck. I will focus on what's important right now, they are my mates after all. I will get Taylor next time'

"Ah, nothing.. Let's go the infirmary,"

*****

"Where were you, Ryan?" Doc asked me in an angry tone, "You are more than ten minutes late"

"I was..." I sighed, "I was forced to take a photograph"

"What do you mean someone forced you to take a photo with you?" was the doc's first question.

"Ah, it must have been that fucking girl.. what was her fucking name again..."

"Haha, Naomi curses everything she speaks it's hard to tell if she's cursing deliberately or it's her habit acting up,"

"Taylor right?"

"Yeah, it was her again," I confirmed.

"Who is this girl now, Ryan?" Doc asked. We went inside the infirmary.

"She's Cheryl's right hand they say. She's in top ten too"

"She actually took a selfie with Ryan despite the fact that Ryan turned her down when she asked for a photo,"

"Hm. when I came out of the washroom, I was going to follow you guys, but someone grabbed my hand, pulled me in the open garden, I almost knocked her out"

"I see, so she wanted a photo with you again?"

"Yeah. That's why I am late"

"But you were running somewhere in a hurry..." Pete, can't you shut up? You don't speak at all when you can; when you are not supposed to speak, you speak.

"I was.. uh I used my Trait to run faster but lost the track while running,"

"Oooh. so if we are done here should we go back to your story?" Devon asked.

"Oh yeah. So we left.. uh lemme remember where we left,"

"Devon. On the bed, it's time to heal your wounds,"

"Yeah right Doctor," he went to the bed laid down on the bed.

"Let's wait till they are done. I will start telling you from where we left. But are you guys sure about this? I mean it's going to nine soon,"

"I don't think I will sleep a wink leaving this story halfway"

"It's not like this story is going to end soon, this is just the start even if we pulled an all-nighter we barely finish half of the story"

"Eep, really?" That's a cute reaction coming from Gwen.

"All okay, you don't have any internal injuries, my Trait is still willing to flow through your body.. lemme use all of my energy on you,"

My left eye started throbbing. I ignore it once, it throbbed again, "Ow..." I moaned.

"What is it, Ryan?"

"Ah, nothing..." I put my hand on the left eye, "It-it's just that my left eye is..." It throbbed again, "It is-" It started throbbing continuously, it didn't stop, "Oh fuck! This hurts! My left eye hurts all of a sudden,"

"Ah, did you play with your eye? Tell your System to heal your eye," Doc sighed, she was healing Devon with her hand on his stomach.

"I.. did.. not- ouch it hurts"

"Ahhh, what did you do with your eye? Did Talyor touch it?"

"No, she didn't. I didn't either,"

"Wait a minute, let me heal Devon, I will save some energy for you," Doc told me to wait but damn it was impossible.

"Argh! Argh! Fuck this!" I groaned.

"Calm down, take some pain killers or take blood if you want,"

"But I haven't got any message from my System! It doesn't need blood!" I screamed, "I can't take this anymore!" I screamed louder.

"Shut the fuck up, Ryan! Calm the fuck down" Naomi put her hands on her ears.

"You are really hopeless, Ryan. wait a second I am done here,"

"Aah, Aaaaah! Aaah! D- doc! Doc! DOC!!! Blood! Blood! There's blood- from- from my-"

"Yikes! Ryan! Ryan? Oh shit, uh-oh, shit, shit!" Doc rushed, "Fuck, fuck, I gotta heal you!"

"Oh shit, what in the fucking world is going on?!"

"Doc. Help me! Doc!"

"W- wait a minute, Ryan!" Doc's pupils were dilated, "Go to bed"

Blood. Blood was flowing from my right eye. A flood of blood was flowing from my left eye without stopping. It continued coming and coming. The pain was gone. I was standing there with my blood in my hands, blood flowing from my left eye down through my cheek. The blood was overflowing.

Doc went, pulled a little bottle full of some pills. She took them in her palm, threw them into her mouth. She ran to me, touched my eye with her finger.

My clothes were drenched in blood. Blood everywhere. Everyone gaped at me. They closed the infirmary's door so that nobody could see me.

Despite Doc healing me the blood didn't stop. After a few more minutes, the blood finally stopped flowing.

< Blood level dropping >

< Blood level: 5/15 >

"D- doc.. blood, 10 ml of blood" she nodded, she quickly brought me a tube. Opened its cap and poured the blood inside my mouth.

I gulped it down quickly.

< Blood level restored >
