look cute together...

"This... you are hurt. "

Jamie winch as she felt her bruise burning and heating up. She glares at Ryan for that. Ryan chuckles and holds her wrist dragging her along with him as he makes his way towards the exit. As he reaches the lobby, he sees the librarian looking at them.

"She got hurt, I am taking her to the nurse room. " He says walking away from the librarian's sight. He nods his head but the other two left already, unable to see him nodding his head. Lauren was starstruck by his unusual behavior.

[How come he is being nice?] She thinks to herself admiring his side profile as she keeps walking behind him.

Lauren keeps observing his movements as she couldn't take him being nice as a good sign. She was anticipating his betrayal at any moment. She had her brows frowned and her eyes trying to figure his motive but she was shocked to see that he hadn't even replied or sassed at her. This totally amused her to the core.

"What are y-you doing?" She speaks out her mind.

"What are you doing?" He slowly repeats what she said, and his eyes narrowed in a meaningful manner. "Of course taking you to the nurse room. " He continues as he receives no reply from her. His expression could be considered friendly, but there was also a distinct coolness in his eyes. As if they were made from amethyst- beautiful with somewhat mysterious glow radiation off of him.

She glanced over at the man dragging her and couldn't help but notice how virile he was in appearance. He may have taken her away all of a sudden, but he was walking at her pace. She was totally admiring him as this opportunity to think good of him rarely comes. And this was the very moment and a small smile crossed her face. It amused her how she felt that having a gentleman side in him as part of his nature. She shook her head feeling overwhelmed by her unusual outburst of feeling and emotions.

[What even am I thinking for this Satan?] She says trying to look away from him but her eyes found their intertwined hands.

[When did it happen? He was holding my wrist!] She thinks to herself as she ponders inside her memory to see when that happened but she couldn't extract any memory for it. She felt blood rushing to her cheeks, she felt the heat rising up in her body. And Ryan was completely unaware of her situation but he himself was going through the same outburst.

He felt his heart picking its speed and throat felt dry due to nervousness but he shadowed his overbearing feeling stirring up his strong facade he had been keeping up. He remained perfectly calm as if he was accustomed to such behavior or he cared less how they were. And he took a few glances of Lauren time and again. He could see how uncomfortable she was and how flustered she got. The walk to the nurse room was long for them. Lauren remembers the talk she had with the girl earlier.

"...He must have feelings for you or you are special."

"He had changed since you appeared..."

"He never eyed anyone before you..."

She felt her cheeks burning even more. The more she remembered the conversation and her words the more flustered she got.

[WHAT IS HAPPENING?!] She yells within her as she seems to be at a loss of words.

Soon, they approach the ED and they walk inside. The doctor who was inside stood up at the sudden indication of someone coming inside. The lady observes the two who just made their way inside. Ryan nudge Lauren further into the room and placed her on the bed. He stepped aside and made a way for the lady to check up on her.

"What happened?" she questions as she brings her hand to Lauren's chin, grabbing them and turning her head left and right observing her bruise.

"Umm..." Lauren feels flustered to talk about the incident as she was still not over the walk they had to the ED.

"Actually, she fell from the library ladder while working on the books and got his with the edge of the books. " He says and the lady nodded her head. She then grabs a first aid kit from the drawer and places it beside Lauren on the bed. She starts cleaning the bruise with antiseptic then bandaged it.

"Okay done." She says smiling as she fills the kit with the material back and closed it placing it at the drawer. "Thank you. " Lauren replies. The lady nods her head and smiles glancing between them.

"You two look cute together. " She says making the other two flush in red crimson. "No!!! We aren't! "

"No! We don't! "

Lauren and Ryan yell at the same time making the lady eye them awkwardly as she eyes their hands. "Sorry, I guessed wrong. " She says pointing towards their intertwined hands. They both follow the direction where she had pointed and they see their intertwined hands. They both had their eyes widen as they both jerk their hand away from hold and look away feeling embarrassed. The lady chuckles watching them being all fluster and shy.

"Are you sure there is nothing?" She teases them as they both shake their head no. "Who would like her? Hah! My standard is not that low. " He says making his way out of the room as Lauren had her eyes wide open and mouth gaped open closing and opening to say something but nothing came out. She clenched her fist and banged it on the bed with her eyes growing red in anger. The lady was surprised by the sudden change in the atmosphere.

[Should I have not said that?] She thinks to herself.

"I am sorry. "She apologizes. Lauren shakes her head no and smiles at her. "You don't need to be. That boy is a jerk. " She says standing up on her feet.

"Then have a nice day. " Lauren says smiling at the lady bidding goodbye and she makes her way out. She makes her way to the library as she had her stuff there. She moreover had no idea how long has it been since she was thrown out of the class. And she still had another class, she was deteriorating her study. She felt bad and angry at herself for getting affected by him.

Once she reaches the library, she grabs her bag and makes her way towards the librarian who was busy with some students burrowing the books.

"Excuse me, sir?" She calls out for him. "Oh! Lauren. I am sorry and thank you. You can go now. I will do the rest and I will hand you your pay tomorrow, come and meet me here. " He says dismissing her and getting involved with the other students in the queue. Lauren shrugs off and makes her way out of the library. As she was checking her bag, she felt her phone vibrating inside.

She takes it out and checks the caller Id to see Zoey calling her. She picks up the call.

"Yah!! Lau, Where the hell are you? We have been calling you for the past half an hour." Lauren distance herself from the call as she heard Zoey yelling through the call.

"I am i-in the library. I am walking out. Where are you two?" She says ignoring the fuming girl on the other side. Lauren could hear Noah making her say something but groans as Zoey paid no attention.

"We are in the cafeteria. Come soon. The break is coming to an end as well. " She heard Zoey sigh at the end. Lauren then replies with a hmm and ends the call. She then makes her way towards the cafeteria.
