I sighed, "Well since neither of them are technically my birth name, either is fine." I often forgot that both were names me and my sister had picked, and I used them so often that I forgot my real names. "I even registered at this school with that name. Anyways." I looked at him, and couldn't think what race he could possibly be, What sucks blood.... Leeches, mosquitoes, ticks. I shivered, I'd never seen any of those animals, but I saw them on T.V and they gave me the creeps. "I... Uh, ok," I imagined his Youkai form to be a giant leech, or tick, or mosquito, and it really just messed my nerves up more.
"I definitely know your race then." I lied, I feigned calmness, but my imagination was creeping me out, "Yea, uh... I think I'm going to pass out again, from dehydration." Not too far from the truth. "Elise, I think we should leave, it's pretty dark."
Elise was left alone a few minutes ago, and she sat with her head resting on the desk, playing with a pencil. "Where are we going?"
"We should call our parents, right?" I emphasized the word right, "Got a lot to talk to them about ok!" I really needed to get outside, I felt a bit sick.
"Shouldn't we--" I grabbed her arm and we ran out of the classroom, "Welp! Bye guys, nice to meet you I guess." She said out the door.
I stopped in a spot between buildings, where there were no students. "What was that about?" She asked.
"Nothing, just..." I felt the usuall dizziness, "A bit dizzy is all." It was then I figured running while dehydrated was a bad idea. Though I pretty much passed out on the thought.
Elise
Elise sighed, "You are a complete idiot." She tried to think about what to do next, she didn't know the school well enough to leave him, get water, and remember how to get back. And as far as she could tell, there were no students near by. "I guess I have to carry you back." She said dismayed.
She tried picking him up from the torso, though she could only drag him this way. Then she tried picking him up like a fireman, but he was pretty heavy and it was hard to lift him above her shoulders. Finally she just lifted one arm over her neck, and allowed his feet to drag. "For somebody who forgets to eat, you're really heavy." She dragged him to the nurse's office.
"What happened?" The nurse said.
"The idiot hasn't had anything to drink or eat in two days, but he's been training and causing all sorts of trouble." Elise was pretty annoyed at this point.
"Well its a good thing you came here." The nurse said brightly. Elise noticed other students, all of whom where in her class. "A lot of students today, though not one due to dehydration." Elise with the nurse's help lifted him into a bed, then the nurse got a look at him. "Well, well, this is the boy that got in a fight on his second day of school." She in a way that felt insulting, "I'm going to have to see more of you aren't I?" She said to a person who couldn't answer.
"Is it ok?" Elise asked.
"Yea just leave him here for the rest of the day, tonight, and tomorrow morning. Could you tell me why he hasn't eaten or drank anything?"
Elise shrugged, she honestly didn't know, "I guess he is just an idiot." Both her and the nurse laughed. The nurse walked over, got 2 paper cups filled with cold water then splashed one in his face.
I woke again with water in my face. I snapped up and saw the nurse standing there with an empty cup, and a full one. "Is that how you're supposed to wake passed out people?!" I snapped.
"Probably not,"
"What do you mean probably."
"Drink this, before I dump it in your face." She handed me the filled cup. "Thank that girl too, she carried you here from wherever you passed out." Elise was sitting in a chair, and waved at me.
I took the water and drank it. I hadn't realized how dry my mouth was, and the water tasted sweat. "Thank you." The nurse shook her head and went to do other things. I think I drank at least twelve of those little cups full of water. Though I still felt thirsty.
Elise asked the nurse if I still had to stay, "No, as long as someone makes sure he eats and drinks." But the tone was dismissive, and the nurse seemed a bit preoccupied.
I sat down in one of the chairs, and looked at the kids here. I recognized a few from our class. Elise sat down next to me, "Want me to get you a water bottle from the cafeteria?"
"Please?" I handed her a 5$ bill, and she went off. I felt too tired to leave the comfort of this otherwise uncomfortable chair.
