Abigail's POV

Place: St. Irish Academy's Music Room 1 (Address: 22 Maple Leaf Street, Evergreen Village, Blooming Field City)

"You have got to be kidding me!" I said in my head.

One simple question, why is he hugging me?!

A few hours ago we met, and the next, you find yourself in a difficult situation where an annoying person is making an awkward scene for you.

I wonder if one of his brain cells broke down and made him like this. Whatever! The important thing to do is to get out of this mess before anyone sees us like this.

"Hey! Can you stop it?!" I shouted in his ear.

It didn't work. Even though I shouted, he didn't listen. His ear is like metal or something. I have to hurry up!

"Um, Carmelo. Can you stop doing this? I feel like your suffocating me." I said it gently.

This will work. No guy can say 'no' to someone with a gentle voice of mine.

But...

Why do I suddenly feel that something is burning? There's no smell but it's really hot.

"Hey," I said before I touch his neck "Are you..."

Oh god, just as I suspected. He has fever.

"What am I going to do with you?" I said to myself. The only thing I know is to bring him to the clinic. But how...

Then out of nowhere, an idea struck me. I have no choice but to use all of my strength in this.

Time: 10:55 am
Date: September 4
Place: St. Irish Academy's Stairway 4 (Address: 22 Maple Leaf Street, Evergreen Village, Blooming Field City)

This is killing me already!

Why does he have to be so heavy?! We're not halfway to the clinic and yet I'm sweating so much already!

What choice do I have? I'd rather leave this lunatic if I want to but NO! I couldn't leave someone in need.

"If your awake or not," I said, "You should definitely pay me back after this!"

I don't care if people see me carrying this person but that's good because it's after break and no one is around the hallways anyway.

Wait...what?!

I'm suppose to be in the classroom around this time rather than be with this guy...no, wait. I'm always sticking with this guy even though I don't want to be with him. Why does this day have to suck so much because of him?! Okay. Abigail Wellington, stop complaining and start doing it. You will not achieve anyway if you continue doing nonsense.

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*

I swear I'm gonna kill him after bringing him to the clinic. If he is doing this on purpose, even though he has fever, then I wasted my energy and time with this picky-packy idiot.

What does picky-packy mean anyway? Forget it! Let's shut up and continue.

*Pant* *Pant*

But...

I wonder how he got fever anyway. He was full of energy when he entered school. He even had the energy to piss me off during the tour. I wonder if he's okay?

*Pant* *Pant*

I'm getting tired of this. But good thing we're almost there! Finally, I could take a break!
