"I-I'm sorry for troubling you today. And I also want to thank you for helping me." Cassandra thanked him.
The man was about to speak but he wasn't able to do so when the doctor came back with a tray of painkiller tablet and a glass of water... "Here, drink this painkiller tablet so that it can help ease the pain." the doctor advised. "Yes, doctor. Thank you very much." Cassandra thanked the doctor as well. She quickly popped the medicine into her mouth, and she drank some water. After a few minutes, the pain was suddenly gone, and she feels so much better compared to few minutes ago... She thanked the doctor once again. She alsoLater that evening. Cassandra threw herself on her bed, while feeling dead tired. Her original plan was to prepare her dinner, take a shower, and review her notes. She's so exhausted, and it feels like her eyes are going to close any minute now... She finally decided to cancel her plan. Since she's not really that hungry, she decided to take a shower and go to bed right away. She'll just wake up early tomorrow, cook herself some breakfast, and review her notes while eating... Cassandra forces herself to get up from her bed, and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower... =========================== A month has already passed since Cassandra became a College student.. KRINGGG! Cassandra groaned as she lazily reached for her mobile phone to hit the stop button. Her phone has been making sound non-stop, and it's already giving her a headache.
"Oh. Maybe I'm just exaggerating." Cassandra said to herself, while looking embarrassed. “So, are you going to lie down or not?” Tyler asked again.Cassandra sulkily lay down on the ground and then she waited for Tyler's next instructions. "Alright, next, raise your right leg." Tyler commanded. Cassandra raised her leg. Her whole body suddenly froze when she felt his hand on her leg. He's not touching her inappropriately, but she can feel a sudden electric shock all over her body..."Don't be too stiff, Cassandra. Just relax. Just relax your muscles and it will help you run faster later on." explained Tyler. Cassandra closed her eyes, as she was trying to concentrate.“This is just a warm-up, Cassandra. Don't get too much affected. This is just a simple exercise. Nothing more, nothing less." she keeps on convincing herself.
"We were so worried about her, but I'm glad she's alright now. By the way, what are we going to do now, guys? Do we have a game plan or something?" she also heard Kyla's voice.“Yes. I'm already thinking of a training plan than can help us improve. And for that guys, I need your help.We have to practice everyday. ” Tyler informed them."But what about Cassandra? She needs to rest her legs!" Sarah's responded.Cassandra could no longer control herself. She quickly got up and pulled the curtain open."I can do it. When are we going to start?" she immediately asked, taking up the challenge."Cassandra! You shouldn't think about the relay first! You should be resting!" Sarah reminded her"I'm fine. I'll just let it rest for a day or two and after that I'll be okay. So, Tyler Bancroft-- when are we going to start our training?" Cassandra asked, while looking at Tyler straight in the eye.Tyl
"We're a team, Cassandra. The reason why we're training now is because Tyler believes that we can still improve and hopefully, be successful in the end. He believes in us, you know, and that's why he's doing his best to help us. Kyla and I heard that he decided to cancel some his television and magazine interviews. He cleared out all of his appointments so that he can be with us today." Sarah gave out a lengthy explanation. Cassandra bit her lip, while feeling a bit guilty. Sarah definitely has a point. Tyler Bancroft has got more important things to do, but he still chose to be with them instead... She shouldn't have acted that way. She such a selfish person for getting all angry with Tyler. It's totally uncalled for. Cassandra was about to say something but she wasn't able to do so when they suddenly heard Tyler's voice behind them.
After a few minutes. "Okay, guys, get into your positions!" their PE instructor quickly announces, as soon as he made sure that all of the students have gathered around. Cassandra shared glances with her other classmates, as they give each other encouraging looks. There are also other students who are giving their doubtful stares... "Okay, just pretend that there is no one around watching you, Cassandra. You have to concentrate. And don't worry, we can all do this." Toru suddenly whispered at her, while giving her a pat on her shoulder. “Okay. No one else is around. No one is watching you, Cassandra... Only you and your teammates are around." she said to herself, as if she's chanting.
The next day. Cassandra woke up from her sleep when she felt a blanket covering her. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed Tyler covering her with a thick blanket... "I'm sorry if I woke you up." Tyler immediately apologized. Cassandra finally woke up when she noticed that Tyler and her face were close to each other. She averted her face to avoid Tyler's intense gaze. “S-So... You’re leaving already?" Cassandra asked, when she noticed that Tyler is packing his things inside his bag. "Actually, Sarah and Kyla left earlier. I'm just waiting for you to wake up so that I can say goodbye to you." informed Tyler. "Oh, I see." that's all Cassandra can say. "By the way, thank
Meanwhile...Tyler is now running with all his might towards the building where the explosion happened. The other students were standing at their own places, unable to move because of shock.He is worried scared and sick about Cassandra. Coincidentally, he bumped into their friends, Sarah and Kyla. "Let's go and look for Cassandra!" Sarah suggested, and she looks dead worried for Cassandra as well.Tyler nodded in approval. "I hope she's not seriously hurt!" he said, as the three of them started running their way towards the Arts and Science Building.After few more minutes of running, they finally reached the building.The scared students who were inside the building are being evacuated one by one.Tyler, Sarah and Kyla roamed their eyes around to look for Cassandra. They three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they finally saw Cassandra, who is walking with her female classmate. T
"We're all hoping for the same thing, Cassandra. But for now, you should really go home and take a good, long rest." Kyla suggested as well.At the very same time, Tyler's car stopped in front of them. He opened the passenger's seat door for Cassandra, and the backseat door for Sarah and Kyla.After a few minutes, Tyler is now driving their way back to Cassandra's apartment...================================One week after the accident, all of the classes at Waldorf University resumes, and almost everything went back to normal.Tyler and Cassandra are at the University's Botanical Garden. They are waiting for Sarah and Kyla who are still at the library. The four of them planned to eat lunch together at a newly-opened pizza house near their campus."I have to tell you something, Cassie. I hope you can listen to me with an open mind and open heart." Tyler suddenly spoke, while looking so serious.Cassandra nervously
