Hit Me Hard
*Chapter Two*
My mom walked in about 15
minutes later, and apparently she's been here for a while,
she was just getting food in the cafeteria. "Oh, hunny! I
brought you some food from the cafeteria, are you hungry?"
I shook my head. My mother sighed. The doctor began going
through my list of injuries. "Well, she has a large bump
on her head, and a concussion. I dont think she should be back
in school tomorrow, so you can leave her here for the
night," Said the doctor. I sighed. "Do you know why I
fainted? It was pretty random," asked Arianna. "Oh,
that could be anything, but it was most likely from lack of
hydration." I licked my lips, and realized how thirsty I
was.
"Mom, could you get me a water
bottle?" My mother shot up and walked towards the door
immediately. So, it was just me and Arianna. "So
Ari," I began. "What happend after I passed
out?" Ari smirked. "Well, everyone was already paying
you attention before, and now you're probably the star of
the school," she started. "So, Zander was standing in
front of you when you fainted and hit the floor, and you banged
your head up pretty bad. Zander and I called the nurse, and she
came with a wheelchair and wheeled you into the office. When
she saw how unconscious you were, she called the cops, and an
ambulance took you away. I ditched and drove over, and Zander
told me..." she paused, long enough to put a wide grin on
her face. "He told me he'd be here when school's
over!" She shrieked. I just smiled and waited.

My mom had to leave around 1 in the
afternoon, because she was late for work as it is, and she had
to get my sister, Katie, off the bus. Ari stayed with me,
though. At around 3:30, someone knocked on the door.
Arianna's face lit up, and she winked at me. In came
Zander, casually. He smiled a warm smile at me, and it made my
heart melt. "Hi, Casey," He said. "Hey," I
croaked. "You okay?" He asked. "um, I'm a
bit better I guess," I said with a smile. We made casual
small talk for a bit, until Ari had to go. "I'll be
back later..." She said slowly. "Bye babe!" She
flashed me a smile and then walked towards the door. Me and
Zander were alone.
