chapter 3

Chloe walked down the hall with Raymond close by for support, he gave her some tissue he got from his locker on their way to the nurse's office.

Chloe didn't need help to walk but she liked the fact Ray held her shoulders in case she stumbles and fall.

Her checks were burning red form all the joy and excitement she was going through at that very moment and she would give anything in the world to not want it to end.

Ray didn't look so happy and Chloe wondered why. She also wondered if he hated her or maybe even the slightest bit liked her.

She can never confess her feelings for him, she didn't want her heart to be crushed by what his reply may be.

Wanting to start a conversion with him Chloe kept giving him glances and she hoped he didn't notice.

She opened her mouth wanting to say something but closed it afterwards when nothing came out, how was she going to thank him for helping her and defending her in front of so many people.

"What?" Raymond asked beside her, because of the vibration from his deep voice goosebumps instantly took over her body.

"Ehm.. I.. Thank you for helping me" Chloe whispered but it was enough for him to hear her. Her face burnt with embarrassment that she was so close to him at the same time talking to him.

It was a dream come true for her, only if she could tell him how she felt about him.

Ray looked down at her and the next thing he said broke her heart into a million pieces.

" I don't want my girlfriend to get into trouble that's the only reason I helped you, next time you're on you own" He confessed.

Chloe face went from happy to pale instantly and she felt so stupid to think he was just trying to help her when he was just caring for his girlfriend.

"Oh" She responded.

So why was he holding her like he even cared about her? Chloe couldn't feel anything but sadness, what was she expecting, flowers and chocolate?

She attempted to more away from his touch but his grip was firm.

Chloe attempted some more but he didn't let go or loosen his grip in fact it became much more stronger.

This lead Chloe into confusion, why is he still holding her when he just cares about his girlfriend so much. If Emma saw them she would definitely murder her.

She gave up straggling and just settled into his hold, she should enjoy it while it lasted even if it won't be long like she wanted it to.

The nurse's office came into view. Raymond opened the door and allowed her to enter before he did.

The nurses office was one of the nicest place in the school ground. Right outside they was a vending machine of different kind of lollipop and fruit drink.

Anytime someone comes in with an injury the nurse on duty always give the students a lollipop, who doesn't like free sweet?

The office was also equipped with nice Air conditioning, the office didn't smell a lot like medicine but Carmel.

It also had a very soft bed and pillow. Chloe knew all this because she always end up here one way or the order due to some accidents just like the way she fell today.

Raymond also likes the nurses office, when ever he wants to skip classes he always ends up here, with his charms of sweet talking the nurse's just let him be.

Today way Friday and the nurse on duty was Mrs Stella. She was the nicest nurse and most active, she was placed on a Friday because it was a sports day and the school needs a nurse that's always available when needed especially on a sport day.

When they walked in Mrs Stella was arranging her special first aid kit before she came to notice them.

She was shocked when she saw Chloe nose bleeding and the tissue was covered with blood.

"Oh my, how did this happens. Its so early in the morning and you already have a bleeding nose." She exclaimed as she rushed towards the direction of Chloe.

She settled her down on the bed and helped her clean up properly.

She turned toward the direction of Raymond and gave him a hard glare, "Raymond did you hit Chloe!?" She almost shouted

She new how all the students was afraid of Raymond and some came into the office complaining and some injures was because of him and his friends.

Raymond smiled a little but he shock his head no.

"Mrs Stella I feel offended, I could never hit a girl" He confessed which was actually true. Raymond had a good reputation when it comes to girls.

"So tell me what happened? I can't let this slide. This is not the first time Chloe is having injures and I don't think I would be the last" She looked between the both of them demanding answers.

"Mrs Stella its nothing I promise I just slipped and fell" Chloe tried to convince her but she wasn't buying it. She new something was up and she wanted to know what.

"Tell me now, Raymond?" she directed her questions to Raymond this time because she knew Chloe won't spit it out no matter how hard she tried to force answers out from her.

At that very moment Chloe and Raymond exchanged looks.
