'Sabo's POV'

Finally finished Arts with one of Professor Crocodile's assistants who calls herself 'Miss Goldenweek', I don't know why she calls herself 'miss' even tho she looks too young to teach, but she does a good job at it tho so a win-win I might say? Still tho, I haven't got a clear answer from Luffy yet, it makes me wonder that does he really know who Fire Fist is? Then the fourth period bell rang, I quickly shut my locker door which I carelessly slammed my hand as a shut it. "Yeow!" I yelp in pain a bit, like holy mama that hurts.

I tried to ease the pain in my hand as much as I can, then sprinted towards the staircase. I know I'm breaking a rule right now, I just can't be late to fourth period. But then I ran into someone, bumped into them on the stairs as we both fell down. I felt arms wrapping around my head right after we hit the wall, the person who I ran into still hasn't let go of me yet, so I wriggled myself out of their grasp. They eventually loosen their grasp on me and I carefully got out, I looked over the person who I ran into only to see Ace beside me, oh crap! "Ace?... Ace!" My voice soon rose with panic as I tried to wake Ace.

'Oh God...' I thought to myself as I continued to wake him up, then I saw the spot where he took the impact, the corner of the window frame had a speck of a red liquid, looking at it more closely, it looks more like... blood. "Oh shit...", I cursed under my breath as I kept examining Ace's head for any leakage, then I found the wound where it was located in the side of his head. I grabbed my handkerchief and placed it on his head giving it pressure to not let the rest of his blood expose, is it me or am I getting light-headed, well why wouldn't I when I'm the one who is breathing rapidly instead of him! Okay calm down Sabo, all you need to do is to just to take him to the infirmary, talk to Doctorine about this, and you'll apologize him about this later on, yeah a solid plan.

I checked his pulse, which was stable right now 'Thank God...', I then took his left arm and hooked it around my neck, and got on my feet along with him. But why is he so heavy, what is he made of, literal BRICKS?! Or am I just too weak? I mustered up all of my strength in my body and walked towards the infirmary with him in my side, since the infirmary is at the ground floor and we're at the 4th floor, it might take sometime for the both of us to reach there, but I'll manage... somehow.

I then feel my pocket vibrating, which was my phone, I adjusted Ace on my shoulders more easily for me to grab my phone in my pocket, I looked at the caller to see it was Koala. I accepted the call and answered with a "hello".

"Sabo, where are you right now?", she replied a bit quietly and sounded angry.

"Ehehehe, sorry about that Koala, I'm kinda having a predicament right now...", I replied as I adjusted him again since he keeps slipping.

"Huh? What kind of predicament?", she spoke at the end of the phone.

"I just need to deliver a student to the infirmary, and maybe I should also go to there just in case...", I trailed off while I, again, adjusted Ace on my shoulders, how does he keep slipping on me, am I really that slippery? "...just, tell the teacher that I won't make it to class, alright?".

I heard a sigh from the other end and she eventually replied, "you're lucky that this is a one time thing... alright, I'll tell the teacher".

I didn't realize that I was holding my breath for her answer, I exhaled a bit to release the breath that I was holding in, "Thank you so much Koala, I owe you one...", I respond to her, she eventually hang up first then I tucked my phone back in my pocket and continued to walk with Ace to the infirmary.
