James was on his way to school when he sees Ayesha walking in front of him. He then quickly fasten his walk and reach out to her.
"Yo, good morning!" he said to her. But she didnt even reply to him, insted she just looked at him and continue walking. "Not even a goodmorning or hi? Ouch!" he said and act like his heart ache.
Its not like Ayesha doesnt want to respond to him, but its more likely because her voice is kinda gone. Her father came home early yesterday, and because of that she was beaten up like always.
James continued to follow Ayesha until they both reach the school. "Looks like were here. Should we go in now?" he ask her. Ayesha then again, just ignore him. They walk into class, sit in their sits, until the class start.
the 2nd period is starting, its one of the subject that Ayesha dislikes. Its not like shes not good at it, shes just not interested in it, and its PE. Ayesha and her friends went to the changing room and change their clother, after that the students start to gather at the field.
One of the reasons she dislike PE is because of the teacher, the teacher make them run a 400m and need to do 2 lap, 2 LAP?! Shes to lazy for all of this, she rather stay in the class and learn.
James was on his last lap, and then he spot Ayesha in front of him. He then jog to her to catch up. "Hey there m'lady, are you tired allready?" He start a conversation with her. "Im sorry to dissapoint but im not tired yet, mister. What can i help you with?" She then replied. ''Talking formally, WOW how i LOVE it." He then said. Ayesha really dont know why this guy james, even started talking to her. She just want to stay number 1 and quickly leave the house, thats been her target all this time, so now she doesnt even know what her target is.
"What do you want james?" she asked him informally. "Informally now? i thought were talking formally?" he asked her then pout. "Dont you have anything to do? were literally doing a 400m lap right now, and you still want to talk?" She asked clearly frustrated, doesnt he have any others things to do?
"Okay okay, im sorry m'lady i will not bother your jog, its just fun talking to you." he said. Ayesha then loudly sighed, "Yeah yeah whatever you say." She said not giving a sh1t. Then suddenly a guy classmate run past them, and accidently stumbles upon Ayesha that was infront of him. Because of that, it makes her fell down.
"Oops, sorry Ayesha...!" the guy classmate said and continued his running. "Aish, he should at least help you get up." he said to her, and took her hand and help her get up. "Are you okay Ayesha? that looks like it will be bruised if you dont get it treated." he said clearly sound worried.
The next thing she knew, James was helping her walk to the medical room.
Ayesha then sit at one of the beds while James calling the nurse. "James can you please wash the wound and puts some medicine/ointment on the wound? I have something urgent coming up." the nurse ask him. "Yes sure, why not? You should go now, it seems like an emergency." James then said. "Thank you so much James, please take care of Ayesha, and Ayesha be more careful okay?" She said to both of them.
After the nurse walk out the medical room, James quickly went to find the ointment to use for the wound. "I will wash the wound first, it will hurt a little bit. So hold my shoulders to release the pain okay?" James said to her. Ayesha then just nodded.
James then start to disinfect the wound first, he wash the wound with the things needed. Ayesha after feel the liquid touch her wound, she quickly hold James shoulder to release the pain from it.
"Does it hurts that bad? Should i be more gentle?" he asks his voice calm. Its not like Ayesha never experience something worse, because she have experience something more 2x more bad. But even so it still hurts her, because its a wound after all. She just nod, while James try to disinfect the wound more gently.
The way he hold her, it was so gentle and careful like shes a piece of glass. Its like hes scared of hurting her more. "Can i ask you a question?" Ayesha then start the talk. "Yes, what is it?" he ask her. He then faced her as they look into each others eyes.
"Why are you being so nice to me? I dont really understand you know? Do you act nice for wanting to be nice, or just be honest with me, do you like me?"
