Chapter - 10 Relationship

"Um.. Hannah?!" Autumn said in a happy yet hesitant tone.

"Yeah!?" Hannah asked.

"Well.. The thing is.. Christy is here... And she is asking me to go with her." Autumn said.

"Well, you should go and come back fast, we are done and ready to go." Hannah said.

"Oh, well what I meant was that she wants to go trekking with me." Autumn explained.

"..." Hannah stood silently.

"Okay.. She is your friend after all and I can see that you want to go with her.. Why would I stop you.." Hannah said with a smile.

"Go on.." Hannah said.

Autumn smiled brightly and nodded her head.

"See you later Hannah.." Autumn said and left.

"Be careful..." Hannah mumbled.

"Let's go, Christy." Autumn rushed over to her and grabbed her hand.

"Umm." Christy nodded her head.

"Is everyone here? Please check that you all are carrying your own water bottle.." Miss.Gu said.

"Yes teacher." Everyone replied together.

"Now get in a pair of two, everyone." The sports teacher said.

Other than Miss.Gu, the sports teacher was the only teacher who came in this trip. Mr.Choi was a really nice teacher and was very friendly.

"Hey should we pair together?"

"Yeah, we should.. If I fall down you will carry me on your back.."

"What? I would rather pair with someone else then."

"Oh, Isn't that Christy? It seems they are back together now.."

"Well, it seems that she can't survive without the 'luck' after all..* snickers *"

"Oh well, she seemed desperate last time.."

"Hey, what if she is with Autumn because of Harron?"

"Well, that's a possibility too...."

From choosing partner to gossiping, it didn't take much time for everyone to turn their attention once again towards Autumn.

Christy hated the fact that everyone only ever saw Autumn. Be it for a good reason or not Christy wanted Autumn to be forgotten.

"Christy, the teachers are starting to move now.." Autumn said.

"Uhm.. We should also be on our way then.." Christy said as they started marching forward.

The weather was nice and cool breeze were make it more admirable.

Everyone was busy appreciating the beautiful view. They were busy taking pictures.

Autumn took a picture of her and Christy as well.

Autumn and Christy were in the last.

'If I have to do something it has to be now.. No one is paying attention.. Autumn is also distracted.' Christy thought.

Christy walked and she twisted her ankle and tripped backwards. Autumn was busy admiring the view.

"Ah!" Christy shouted.

Before Autumn could react Christy fell over her which made Autumn to fall down hard.

"Oh my god!" Christy shouted.

"I'm sorry Autumn, because of me you are hurt.." Christy started crying trying to look innocent.

"Oh no.. I'm alright.. Don't cry.. Are you hurt?" Autumn asked her in a worried tone.

Miss.Gu and Mr. Choi rushed to Christy and Autumn.

"Oh my god.... What happened to both of you?" Miss. Gu asked.

"Miss. It's all my fault... I wasn't paying attention and tripped and Autumn was right behind me so she got hurt instead of me..." Christy said acting all pitiful.

"Oh.. I'm fine really.." Autumn said with a smile.

"Oh my god.. Your hand is bleeding Autumn... Come on stand up.." Miss.Gu said in a worried tone.

As Autumn was getting up, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle and knee.

"Are you hurt somewhere else as well?" Miss. Gu asked.

"I think I hurt my knee and ankle as well." Autumn said.

"Christy might be hurt too.. Please check on her as well." Autumn said.

"Mr. Choi, please take out the medical kit and check if Christy has any wounds too." Miss. Gu said.

"Ah, yes!" Mr. Choi said.

They checked Christy. Apart from her dirty clothes she didn't even had any scratches.

Whereas, Autumn was very badly injured.

Her left knee was all scratched and bleeding. Her right elbo and both palms of her hand were also scratches up and bleeding. She had a sprain on her ankle as well.

She acquired quite some injuries. Miss. Gu treated her injuries and suggested to take her back to resort.

'If Miss. Gu took me to the resort then she will have to cancel her trekking as well.. I don't want to drag her down with me.' Autumn thought.

"I'm alright Miss.Gu... I will just go back alone and I want to draw some sceneries as well so don't worry about me and go on." Autumn said.

"You are so badly injured, how can I leave you here alone?" Miss. Gu was worried about Autumn.

"Don't worry, Miss. Gu. I can just call my friend to come and pick me up. He is also here on a school trip." Autumn said.

Miss.Gu was persistent about taking Autumn back to the resort herself but Autumn managed to convince her and asked her to go ahead.

'This is just a small punishment Autumn. The next time you try to outshine me and take my place.. I'll make you suffer.' Christy thought and left.

Autumn called Harron and asked him to come and get her if he had enough time.

15 minutes later Harron came to fetch Autumn.

"Oh my god, just how did this happened?" Harron asked with a shocked expression.

"Oh, well..." Autumn explained him everything.

"You should have dodged it.." Harron said.

"If it wasn't me, it would have been Christy... I don't want her to get hurt." Autumn said.

Harron looked at Autumn and sighed.

He carried her on his back and took her to her room.

"Should I call a doctor for you? What if your bone in broken?" Harron said.

"Oh no, it's fine really.. I'll go visit the doctor myself when we get back." Autumn said.

"...." Harron looked at her and took out his phone and called someone.

Within 15 minutes a man came to her room.

"Check her and see if she is broken somewhere.." Harron said.

Autumn was bewildered. No one ever paid attention to her no matter how much she was wounded. She was not used to this feeling.

She quietly looked at Harron and smiled.

She was welling up.

After the doctor check her and treated her wounds, he prescribed some ointments.

"Use this two times a day, it's for pain relief and this one.. Use this before going to bed, it's for scars." The doctor said and left.

Harron followed him outside and later came back.

Autumn was so moved with his kind gestures that she started to smile happily.

" What is it? You just got hurt and now you are smiling..." Harron said.

"..... Yes" Autumn said in a low voice.

"Sorry?" Harron said.

"My answer is 'Yes'...." Autumn said.

"Your answer?" Harron said.

He stood silent trying to understand what she said.

"Really? You mean it right? You can't go back on your words..." Harron said excitedly.

Autumn smiled.

'He seems genuinely happy... I never thought someone would ever treat me with kindness but he changed my mind just like that.' Autumn thought.

Harron was so happy and excited that he threw his arms around Autumn and hugged her tight.

Autumn was shocked. This was the first time someone hugged her.

' Roy never hugged me.. He only ever held my hand saying he wants to experience every moment with me slowly so that it can last long. I never said anything nor did I ever understood.' Autumn thought.

Harron realised and jumped aside.

"Oh... So.. Um... I'm sorry... I was just happy to hear your answer.." Harron said.

Autumn smiled.

"It's fine... We are in a relationship after all." Autumn said and blushed.

Harron smiled and sat beside her.

"Yeah.. We are a couple now." He said as he smiled.

He sat with Autumn till she fell asleep.

"Hey, Autumn.. Wake up..." Someone said and shook Autumn.

"Umm.." Autumn opened her eyes and saw.

It was Hannah.

"When did you came back?" Autumn asked.

"When you were deep asleep.." Hannah replied.

"What about Harron? Was he here when you came?" Autumn asked.

"Oh my god! Does that mean he was here with you?" Hannah asked excitedly.

Autumn blushed.

"Um.. No... What I meant was.... Um.. Did you happen to meet him on your way here? It didn't have any special meaning behind it... Really..." Autumn said as she turned red.

Hannah was smiling and was teasing Autumn.

"So does that mean you said 'yes' to him?" Hannah asked amid all the teasing.

"Umm... Yes!?" Autumn replied and blushed.

Autumn was being shy and blushing so hard that even her ears were red.

'He seem like a nice and caring type of person and today I even witnessed something to support my assumptions. He came running to me as soon as I told him what happened. He was worried for me... For the first time ever, I saw that expression on someone's face for me.... I don't want that expression, that person and that feeling to turn away from me.. I don't want him to show that expression to someone else.... Is it alright of me to be a little vicious?' Autumn thought.

"Can you walk? It's almost dinner time.. Should I bring your food here for you?" Hannah said.

"Oh.. You don't have to.. Harron said he will bring my dinner for me." Autumn said.

"Oh my my.. Is your 'boyfriend' going to bring your dinner filled with love~ Oh my... What to do...." Hannah said as she was teasing Autumn.

Autumn blushed.

"Oh come on... Stop it~" Autumn said..

"Hahaha.." Hannah laughed.

* knock knock *

"I'll get it.." Hannah said.

"Oh, it's Rachel and Reena." Hannah said.

"Hey, you alright Autumn?" Rachel asked.

"Ah, yes... I'm alright now.. The doctor prescribed some painkillers so it's fine now." Autumn said.

"A doctor? Did you went to see the doctor in that state?" Reena asked.

"Oh, no.. Harron called the doctor here for me.." Autumn said.

"Harron? The one from Anima high?" Rachel asked.

"Yes.. He came to pick me and then he called for a doctor." Autumn replied.

"Oh.. That's... News to us.." Reena said.

"Well, it's great that he is a nice person.." Rachel said.

Autumn smiled.

"Did you guys went straight for dinner?" Autumn asked.

"Yeah.. I was starving like hell.." Rachel said.

"Oh by the way, we saw Harron on our way here.. He was talking to Miss.Gu." Reena said.

"Ah yes, he was holding something.. I don't know what it was." Rachel said.

"Ah, he might be on his way here." Hannah said.

"Here? Why?" Reena asked.

"Oh well, a certain someone is now in a relationship.. So, her boyfriend is bringing her dinner filled with his love~" Hannah said.

"Oh my goodness, Hannah cut it out already~ stop teasing me.." Autumn said as she giggled.

"Oh my god, when did that happen.. So, Harron and You are a couple now?" Rachel said.

"Well... It tuned out that way.." Autumn replied.

"Oh my god.. You-" As Reena was saying something there was a knock on the door.

"Oh, looks like your Boyfriend is here, Autumn." Hannah said and giggled.

Rachel opened the door and it was Harron.

"Umm.. I'm here to deliver Autumn's dinner." Harron said.

Hannah, Rachel and Reena giggled.

"Yeah sure, go ahead.. We were about to leave for dinner as well." Hannah said as the three of them stepped out.

"Hey girlfriend~" Harron said.

Autumn blushed.

"Hey.." Autumn said.

"Were you waiting for me" Harron said in his deep voice.

"Well, no... I was just waiting for my dinner." Autumn said as she grabbed the food.

Harron giggled. He was caught off guard by Autumn. He never thought Autumn could become a complete different person when in relationship. She was always calm and composed but now she was acting like a spoiled child, she was smiling brightly and was looking confident. Unknowingly, her this side was making him feel guilty. He wanted to shake of that uneasy feeling but couldn't.
