" BREATH , JUST KEEP BREATHING; I KNOW IT'S HARD BUT IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY ; YOUR GOING TO BE OKAY" I repeat this mantra again and again hoping my breathing will get back to normal. But after that horrible scene at the campus I just can't seem to get the blooded image out of my mind. He was bleeding and whimpering, maybe too tired to even cry out for aid. Isn't it awful that people were cheering as if the sheddy fight were for their entertainment, instead of reaching to help a bloody Drake out. I recognized him soon after the guards came to rescue the innocent and captive the devil. I knew Drake from previous year he was the first guy to ask me for prom which I obviously rejected. He stood handsomely in front of me that day but today his face looked busted, almost unlively. Indeed that guy was a devil. But whatever, happened it bought back some flashback for me. Past haunts. Ultimately, I am still looming on my sail and haven't yet lost my mind and had a full blown anxiety attact. But if I continue to recall the bloody absurd image, I certainly will.

Just like all other people I choose to run away from the scene, but somewhere deep down I think I should go visit Drake at the medic office, and see if he's doing fine or not. Drake was a nice dude, when others were trying their best to make me feel like an outsider, Drake was as polite and pleasantly with his behaviour for less do so. I am no good with words, unlike his attempt to be his best I more or less ignored him. But that is fine, I'm boring and enjoy living in my own skin other than being noisy. As sure as I am he was unbothered.

I recall my thoughts and determine to visit Drake after departure. But for now I need to focus on school other than some fights that doesn't revolve around me. Blocking away all the absurd thoughts from surfing any more in my head; I should attend the rest of the classes and get finish with school for today. At least after that i'd be able to catch up with some sleep. It's Thursday that means one more day I have to put up with then I'll be rewarded with two auxiliary days to live a little and spare some unburdened hours to myself.

I have already missed sociology class bunking in the restroom. Ms Esthr is always strict and uptight with her rules. So I decided to better not show my face in front of her today. She may sure retain me with some of her extra warming tone to welcome me and that'd would be excruciating. With all my due respect for this semester I make sure to complete my day in haste.

Urgency settled in me as soon as I close my backpack and get done with all the graces of classes for today. Now all I have to do is to show some genuine concern as if it doesn't disturb me and get back home in one piece. Alright ,that wouldn't be so tough.

It's wasn't long till the classes ended, now all I have to do Is visit the medic and ask how Drake is doing. I know I won't be seeing him there but may be Maya can give me some words regarding this condition. I wondered if the school authorities has taken any medical step or not because to me he's injuries looked major. Sprained neck, busted lips, swollen eyes and many other marks impaleded his cheeks. I guess I'll find out once I reach there .

As I walk past the almost empty campus to the emergency I can still feel the fire of paired eyes borin holes in my back it's better if I keep my skull down and rush.

I can see the lights of the emergency room and that indicates the present of human beings in side. Maybe, Maya is left with some pending works. Maya is a black lady and the most kindest person. She is a high maintenance and doesn't look her age. She may look like a forty year lady but she has lived her mid fifties. We have a very friendly bond, I as a clumsy fella, end up in there almost most of the days. She is a genuine person and certainly the only person in school that I talk to other than the students, those call for aid for their own benefit.

Turning the knob and putting in a slight effort I open the door and walk straight in. And indeed Maya is working, more like cleaning the mess she may have made.

"Hey" I try to keep my voice as steady as possible, cause, I might end up concerning her due to my behaviour. " Hi dear" she is genuine anybody can say that. " Hi, I was hoping for some answers, regarding a certain topic " need a straight face to mask my nervousness. " Can you brief up the questions, and I will answer your curiosity, hon?" dang it. She can see sweat droplets on my forehead. " Do you know Drake Andew he was bought to you in the morning hours " I quickly rub my forehead to get ret of the salty beads." Yeah " now I know she's confused. " I was hoping you can tell me about his whereabouts after the accident" I out of a hundred students shouldn't be here  " Yeah sure, he's fine, lots of bruises though and he was taken to the city hospital and that's all I know ". 

I thanked Maya for the information and walked out of the room and started walking my way home. It's good that Drake's going fine,, it felt good to ask about the whereabouts of the only being that was been compassionately polite to me. I walked through the route to my place securely. Ensure to the fact this time opting for the lanes is the best possible way to get back home.

Sleep-deprived, exhausted, and for storming sickness; I need a good vibe of sleep, cause after that I have ton lot of work to finish.  Hit bed and rest, that's all for me today to get over it and maybe start a fresh weekend and catch up on some unfinished business.
