Unicorns and Blake

Chapter 18

I rub my nose as I slowly walk into school. Fuck my life getting a cold sucks ass. 

The one thing I specialise is catching a cold. I use to always get colds when I was little. I was never allowed out when I was sick. It sucked because all the kids were playing outside and I was inside shoving tissues up my nose.

Beautiful I know.

I reach to my locker and pant as I wipe a sweat from my forehead. 

But my colds were never this bad before...

Yesterday night was a nightmare. I couldn't breathe because my nose was so blocked and I would only unblock if I jumped. I spent 2 hours jumping up and down to breath. Right now my whole fucking body is sore because of the jumping and sleeping on a chair upright.

I lean against the locker against me and slap myself as my vision becomes foggy. Come on Alexa you can't faint here.

"You okay?" I hear someone ask as they put their warm hand on my back.

I can't even turn around.

I'll probably throw up.

"Yeah I'm fine I just feel naeseous thats all." I sigh.

"Morning sickness?"

"Yeah morning sickness..."

"I hope your pregnancy goes well I'll pray for you." I hear.

"Yeah.. wait hang on I'm not pregnant." I say as I force myself to turn around.

Blake.

"Fuck are you okay?" He asks his eyes widening/

"You look...horrible." He frowns.

"Thanks." I cough.

"Maybe you should go home Lex..."

"So it's okay. I'm fine I'm always sick remember?"

He gives me an unconvinced frown as he sighs and takes my bag from my shoulders. "You have Chemistry next right? I'll walk you there." He says as he wraps a hand around my waist holding me up as he walks me to the class.

"If your so keen on not going home I'll wait for you after class okay? I'll walk you to all your classes today. I don't want you to faint especially on that dirty floor..."

I can't go home. I have a perfect student attendance record I cannot ruin.

"It's okay..."

"I'm serious Lex."

That name again. I mean my name.

Lex.

I don't know why but my heart seems to flutter everytime I hear that name.

I sigh and give him a nod as I head into class and sit in the closest seat trying not to stumble. I don't have a temperature I don't think but it's fucking cold in here. I rub my arms as I try to pay attention to Mr Mckevit.

I don't remember what exactly happened in class because I couldn't pay attention but I managed to get Hanna's notes. I'm probably going to study when I get home. I don't think school is exactly necessary right now.

But I can't go home.

I can't...

I can't ruin this record.

I worked so hard for it. I came into school when no one was here. I came into school when it was snowing and it was so deep it came to my waist.

I walk out of the classroom slowly as I put my palm to my forehead. It dosen't feel hot but it surely isn't my normal temperature. I see Blake running towards me, in his gym clothes and his messy hair as he runs to me and takes my bag panting.
