DENALI

What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

Everyone paused and looked around. Their faces showed that someone was coming, so they ran. Must've been someone important in order for them to have run off like that. Either way, I'm glad they're gone it gives me time to let my friends do their thing. Ow ow ow, sitting up feels like a pain in the ass, but I guess that's what happens when you're weak.

"Are you alright? Hello? Excuse me? I said are you alright?"

"Huh? *I looked up and felt tears running down my cheeks* Oh I'm fine." I answer, wiping the tears away. "Just give me about 5 minutes or so, then I'll get up." I finish, trying my best to force a smile.

The person, who I've come to realize is the dude from before, asks "Who were those kids?"

"What kids?" I ask.

He sighs before asking again, this time in a more 'I'm losing my patience' type voice, "The kids that just ran away. Who are they?" 

"O-oh those kids. They're not s-someone you need to worry y-y-yourself about. Besides I'm sure you'll be buddy buddy within the week." I whispered the last part to myself but I'm almost sure he heard. 

"Excuse me?"

"What?"

"Nevermind, do you need help?"

"Help? Sorry but I'm fine." I wince, trying to stand but I guess the major injuries needed more than 5 minutes to heal up. Gosh dang, I hope this doesn't interfere with the whole day. 

"Looks like you do need help." He reaches for me, but I flinch back. He must have noticed because he pulled his hands back and looked away. Huh? What's up with that face? He looked... hurt. He looks back at me and signals that we should head to the nurses office. I start when my legs give out. Dang, dang, dang. I prepare for the fall, but it never came. I took a peek and noticed that the handsome dude was carrying me bridal style. I kept looking around, hoping no one was watching, goddess knows what they'd do to me later.

"Um, what are you looking for?"

"Huh? *I stop looking and focus on him for a second before I resume* No one." what the, there's a faint feeling of sparks.

"Doesn't seem like no one. What, got a jealous boyfriend or something?" he let out a forced chuckle. I assume he doesn't notice considering he hasn't said anything about the sparks.

"Or something." I stop looking, figuring if someone saw us they'd have done something. I look at him again, taking my time to analyze his features, mood, and decipher his status. I got nothing. No hint on his status, or why the goddess had to bless this dude with such good looks. One thing I can guess though, is that he's upset. Why? I have no idea.
