The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?

'Guys'

'Yes, Li?'

'Guys I'm nervous. What if I fail and your mate doesn't want you because of me? What'll we do? Will you hate me? Will you ever forgive me?' I questioned.

'No, you know we'll never hate you. No matter what happens, we know that not everything is your fault. Even if they do reject us then they are obviously blind and dumb' My dragon friend responded.

'But, but, but guys! All this time you've been with me you've had to watch and experience the same torture as me. An-an-and I will have failed you guys. I can't do that, but if that happens what will happen? Will you guys give me permission to do what I've always wanted?'

'No, absolutely not! Not a chance!' They all yelled.

'Fine, how about this, if your mate doesn't want us then I'll have at least 7 months to either find a second chance or someone that really loves us?' I proposed.

'No, no, no! Whether or not they accept us doesn't matter! Think about, if you do then what'll happen to us?'

'Don't worry guys, within the time period of 7 months if what I bet doesn't happen then I'm sure the Moon Goddess will be kind enough to allow you guys to have someone better than me. So I'm positive if what I ask comes true then you guys can live a new life but this time with someone better, so don't worry. Anyways its time for school.'

Man I'm so nervous I can hear my heart pounding. It feels like I'm gonna puke and everything looks like it's swaying side to side. 

I should be able to make to all my classes, right? If not then I'll have really failed them, so no matter what I'll last the entire day. No matter what. I will. I will, I will, I will. *gag noises* I ran to the bathroom and puked my guts out. No matter how many times I've done this it doesn't get any better.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ugh lunch. Honestly I'm not feeling lunch. Maybe I should just stay in the library and read. Try not to think about everything. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Trying to walk fast when everything is swaying is harder than it looks. I was walking when I thought closing my eyes while walking would maybe help when all of a sudden, wham! I bumped into someone. Ugh now my bootycheeks hurt! My eyes got watery from the fall and probably from the fresh bruises on my body. Trying to move quickly I helped pick up the person's stuff when the most amazing smell hit me. It was the most, most, most beautiful smell ever. It reminded me of the fresh rain and the smell of the woods.

I looked up and the most gorgeous guy was staring at me. Like right in the eyes! And because of my past history I found out the hard way it's rude to look someone in the eyes, I looked away. Although it was hard and I had to fight every instinct in my body just so I could look at him one more time, I stayed looking at the ground. At least until I heard his voice.
