It's a normal day for me, get called out of class, go to the nurse's office, take my medication and vitamins. this cycle has gone on for a few weeks, up to the point where i have to sit out at times, it sucks, just a year ago I was doing just fine and now I'm nothing, my dreams of becoming a champion were thrown out the window. Today I passed out during a battle, of course it had to flare up now of all times. coldness of being out, it's like jumping into a pool, or sinking into quicksand, it's not pleasant ether way for me, I'm always taken to a bathroom with nothing except a mirror and a very dim light. When I came to, my 'good friend' Kieran was sitting next to me. I quickly look around, panicked. Why is he here? Of all fucking people.
"Oh your awake." He scoffed and hands me my pills, I reluctantly take them, drinking the water provided afterwards.
"The Headmaster knew we had some kind of history and thought it would be good for me to watch you." The last time that I had saw him, he didn't have his hair up, he didn't look so stupid the last time. I just want nothing to do with him right now.
"sounds like bullshit but fine!" I said, really annoyed with him being there.
"So, Callum, the champion I have been training to beat...is now a fucking weakling? He taunted, grinning at me. God, I hate that face of his now, and just 8 months ago I was friends with him, we trained together, we hung out...and now, we are enemy's only because I was forced to lie to him.
"Shut your fucking mouth! You don't know what I've been through!" I snapped at him, his eyes widened a bit, but I didn't care, he was the one who decided to make fun of me.
"Wow, Sassy much. was all the training I did for nothing?! I spent 8 months training nonstop for nothing!?" oh god he's yelling...he sounds too much like...fuck! my breathing picks up its pace, my eyes start to tear up and my thoughts are running wild. I guess he noticed and quickly shut up, he stared for a few seconds before quickly grabbing my hand, trying to calm me down. could I trust him? it seems like he still cares about me, maybe I'll give him a second chance.
I slowly come down my emotional rollercoster, lying down and staring at the wall while Kieran is petting my head and telling me it's alright, his voice is so calming and soft when he's not being mean. my head slowly turns to him, and I smile at him, our once broken friendship, being reforged.
