At lunch...
Mackenzie

I went up to our usual table. Bluey, Winnie, Chloe, Judo, Rusty, Indy, Lucky, and Max were already there.
"Hi guys. Where's Honey and Jack?" I asked as I sat down next to Lucky.
"Honey's getting her lunch, and Jack stopped hanging out with us." Bluey said, and took a small bite out of her sandwich.
"Why did Jack stop hanging out with us?" I asked, and opened up my lunch box.
"Ask Rusty." She said, and nudged Rusty.
Rusty shrugged. "He got mad at me for hanging out with Indy." He said, and got up to throw away his chip bag.
I looked around the lunchroom. "I wonder if he's in the library." I mumbled.
We ate our lunch pretty much talking the whole time.
I finished my lunch, and got up to go outside.
"I'm going outside." I said, and headed outside.
I sat down against a tree, and put my crutches down near me.
I pulled out a book from my backpack and started to read.
"Heh. Look at him." A voice said nearby. My ears perked up.
I looked up from my book and saw nobody.
I shrugged and continued reading my book. Probably just voices in my head.
"I never noticed how stupid he looked with the flopped down ear." The same voice said again.
I looked up once again. But I saw nothing.
This time I stood up carefully, and looked around.
Nothing.
I sat back down, and Bluey and Max walked up to me.
I waved. "Hi-llo." I said.
"Hi, Mackenzie!" Bluey said, and waved back.
"Hi." Max said blankly.
Hm. Weird. Anyways, I got up to get a drink of water.
And I heard the voices again.
They laughed. "He looks sooo stupid with those crutches." One of them said.
"Let's do something funny." Another said.
Suddenly, the crutches under my arms slipped, and I fell on my back.
"Ow!" I yelped, and looked around. Nobody was there!
I'm so confused.
I sat up and grabbed my crutches. I stood back up and went back to Max and Bluey, asking with the rest of the group.
Bluey and Max were laughing.
Indy and Rusty were showing each other things on their phones.
Judo and Lucky were also laughing.
Winnie, Chloe and Honey were whispering to each other.
"I'm back." I said, and sat near Bluey.
"Why are you two laughing?" I asked Max and Bluey, as I pulled my phone out of my backpack.
"Oh, nothing.." Bluey said and giggled. Max chuckled.
"Okay..." I said.

Ding, ding! Ding!

There's the bell. Next class is history.
Bluey and Max bolted inside as l lagged behind, still struggling with my crutches.
Once I got there, Max and Bluey were sitting next to each other at the front of the room. Which was weird, because Bluey sits with me at the very back of the room.
Oh. Wait. They're working on the project together. That's right.
I walked to the back of the room and sat down.

Ding, ding! Ding!

The last bell rang, and Ms. Poodle walked in.
"Hello class! Today you guys are going to continue your project with your partner." She said and sat down at her desk. "And it looks like Mackenzie and Rylee are back."
I don't really know who Rylee is, but she's in this class, so...
"Mackenzie and Rylee, you can be partners." Ms. Poodle said.
Rylee walked over to me and sat down.
"Hi." She said, and waved. She was an Australian Shepherd, with white and black fluffy fur around her neck, legs and muzzle. The rest is orange. She had bright blue eyes with a small shimmer in it.
"Hey," I said, and waved back.
The only country that was available was, well, I don't know how to pronounce it.
Anyways, we planned out what to do, and said that we would meet up at my house on Friday. Which was fine by me and my parents.
After about 20 minutes, I went to use the bathroom.
As I headed down the hall, I heard the voices again.
"Look how bad he is using his crutches, I could use them in a heartbeat." One of them said.
"You know what we gotta do, right?" Another said and laughed.
And once again, my crutches slipped from my arms and fell down almost on my face, but caught myself with my paws.
Then it felt like someone scratched me on the back of my head. Hard.
I grabbed my crutches and stood up quickly.
I looked around and saw nobody. I was so confused.
I quickly used the restroom and headed back to class fast.
As I walked back in and sat down next to Rylee, I felt a burning sensation at the back of my head.
I rubbed it, but it was hot.
"Ow!" I quietly said, and pulled away immediately.
"What's wrong?" Rylee asked, there was concern in her tone and eyes.
"Uh nothing." I said, "Anyways..." my voice trailed off, as we continued on working for the last ten minutes of class.

The next day...

I walked up to the bus stop, the first one there, I pulled out my phone, looking on Pawstagram. I got on Bluey's page and looked at her photos. The newest one was yesterday. It was of her and Max.
I sighed heavily, and turned off my phone.
"What's wrong Kenzie?" Bluey asked as she walked up to me with Max.
"Nothing." I said, and looked up at Max.
Max rolled his eyes.
"What wrong Max? Why are you rolling your eyes?" I asked him, and frowned slightly.
"I didn't roll my eyes." He said quickly.
"Uh-huh, sureeee." I said.
We were all silent, and it made it awkward.
"Hello!" Judo said, and waved as her and Lucky walked up.
The bus pulled up and we got on.
Bluey sat with Max. Sigh.
Lucky and Judo.
Me? With Chloe.
"Hey Mackenzie." Chloe said.
"Sup." I said and sat down.
Chloe looked at me up and down and raised her eyebrow.
"What?!" I said, and threw my arms in the air.
"Nothing." Chloe said, and rolled her eyes.
"What's up with everyone rolling their eyes at me?" I said, annoyed.
"Because you are you? I don't know." Chloe said, and shrugged.
The bus arrives at the school a few minutes later, and our group meets up again. We talked about meeting in the park after school.
"What time?" Bluey asked, and played with her hair on her head.
"I don't know, 6:00?" One of them said, but I spaced out.
I started getting dizzy.
Images around spinned and got blurry.
My head started hurting really bad.
The scratch on the back of my head started to burn.
My arms slipped, and I dropped my crutches.
I fell down onto my back hard, my vision slowly started to fade into internal darkness.
"There he goes..." a voice said.
"Mackenzie?" Another said.
Eventually, I couldn't hear or feel anything anymore.
I couldn't open my eyes, couldn't sit up, couldn't do anything.
I just laid there until I passed out.
