Locked Inside
Okay...My heart is racing in the speed of light. I have no idea what to do and how this happened! Worst part is...I forgot my phone back at class!
Jin came over and sat at the edge of my bed. He hid his face with his palms.
"Wh-what are we going to do?" I asked trying to get a glance of his face. He seemed flustered.
"We'll have to wait. Moreover, who would lock the infirmary?"
"It's possible that the nurse did it."
"Anyone would've seen us inside. Besides, when they came to the door, they could've seen me infront of the cupboard."
"What about your phone?"
"The battery died."
"Right..." That was the end of our conversation.
For thirty minutes there was a distant silence between us. Even though I was sitting next to him, I felt as if I'm the furthest away from him. While my side was full of wormholes leading me to different fantasies where he and I are alone, on his side, there were only a bunch of flowers blooming. Pink lilies, purple and blue lavenders, red roses and daisies, etc... Never once did he remove his face from his palms and I was slowly getting conscious of it and forgetting my stomach ache.
We waited for another three hours and no one came to get us. Seriously? Wouldn't anyone find it weird that we're late one hour?!
*Knock Knock*
Some knocked on the door. No way its the nurse. Perhaps a teacher or a student. They might be able to help!
I jump from the bed and rush to the door. Ah... my stomach hurts again! *Knock knock* I knock back.
"Whoever is outside, help us out. Someone locked us inside!" I yell.
"Oh, do you where the nurse went?" A small frail voice replied.
"She had left a note saying that she'll be back in one hour to come, but it has already been over one hour!" I answered.
"Is that so?" It sounded as if she had paused. "S-sorry, but I don't know how to help you otherwise!" She yelled. I heard loud and fast footsteps fading away in the distance.
"Wait! Don't just leave! At least help me call my friends!" I shouted as I knocked on the door. She had already left.
The stunned Jin came and stood next to me.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"No, my stomach ache worsened." I said as I tightly held my stomach.
"Then don't just run and jump." He said and pushed me back to the bed to rest.
We waited for another fifteen minutes. The reason why neither Jin or I tried knocking on the door and calling for help was because the infirmary was at the end of the leftmost corner of the first floor. Nobody except for sick students or injured students come. Thus, it is deserted for the most part. Not much of our school students come here to skip classes due to the lack of escape routes. If you try to turn left, you meet the wall. To the right and there is the staircase and the hallway, but most teacher and thee principle come from there.
The clock in the infirmary rang twelve o'clock. Another fifteen minutes had passed and now it os twelve o'clock!
*Chichick* I hear the padlock opening.
"Yun-Yun!" I hear Haruhi calling my name. Footsteps of two- no, three people walking in.
"Goodness, where is our patient?" A posh, high voice spoke. That's our nurse!
Ayano peeked from the white translucent curtain, "Who did what to whom?" Her first question appeared. Haruhi also peeked her head from behind, then peeked the nurse in her pink breast-showing-square necked blouse, blue tight skirt and white coat on top. Not to mention the load of makeup on her face.
"The lonesome woman was out trying to get the attention of some lonesome men." Haruhi added when she saw me staring at our school nurse.
"Oh my! Like I ever would! I was out getting medicine for the school." The nurse tried to cancel Haruhu's statement. "At least our patient wasn't alone." She pretended to sound reassured while glancing at Jin who was sitting on a stool and laying his head on the bed I was in. He fell fast asleep then minutes ago.
"Aww...did you two not do anything? We left you here for that purpose~" Haruhi smirked at me harmonizing her words.
"So it was you two who did this?" I asked.
"Nope. My guess is Ayumi. Take your eyes off of her for a minute and she must've locked you two inside." Ayano said as she angrily pushed the nurse towards the cupboard of medicine.
"Alright, alright! What is her illness?" The nurse said as she abruptly left.
"Stomach ache." I answered. "Why would she though?" I asked, focusing my attention on Ayano again.
"Jealousy, support, needed sometime alone with Kimura, excetra..." Haruhi's grin turned into a wide smile, however, her eyes weren't focused on me, but Jin. I also took a small glance at him. His face was red.
"Ji-" I was about to call Jin when the nurse brought me the medicine for my stomach ache.
She lent me the medicine and smiled, "This is what I call youth...Sadly I am not the one to bloom your love and this is not the place for it either. Drink your medicine and fly far away from here you little dandelions..." She said, her fingers were moving up and down one after the other. It was definitely not a gesture telling us to leave. It sort of looked like a bird flapping its wings. Guess that's what she must've tried to signal.
While I drank the medicine Ayano woke Jin and with Haruhi, they left. I was told to stay for ten more minutes and then leave.
. . .
I missed one and half hours of my studies inside that infirmary. Even though I was excused, I still had a lot of work to do. Back at home I barely managed to complete copying the notes from school and the homework. I stayed up till five the next morning. I have school and I didn't get much sleep. Sleeping during class meant missing studies again which meant I'd have no rest the next day, despite a holiday and I can't afford that! Hopefully we won't get much work today...
