That morning I woke up late and rushed to school without eating anything. I got there, as it turns out, in plenty of time to meet my boyfriend Chris. He greeted me with a loving smile and a indulgent kiss. As we kissed, I knew how lucky I was. He was cute, sweet, smart , caring not to mention had every girl at school had massive crushes on him but I wasn’t happy and I had no idea why. I mean I liked him. We had been friends for years before we started dating and we where super close but it still felt kinda wrong going out. I pushed my douts to the back of my head while I pushed him away and laughed at the disappointment that was displayed clearly on his delicate features. He quickly cracked a smile and we linked arm in arm on our way to 1st period.
I was on my way to the bathroom to check my blood sugar( I am a diabetic) when I started to shake and collapsed. I could see little black dots in my vision and all I wanted to do was sleep.I had ignored the signs in class, my hands had been shaking and I was fatigued but I didn’t do anything about it . I knew I should walk back to class where Chris could see me and he would know what to do. It was between classes and there was nobody around to help me. . All I wanted to do was sleep. I curled up in a ball and closed my eyes but suddenly felt a cool hand on my wrist and my eyes fluttered open.
“who?” I whispered
“where is your testing kit?” answered a concerned voice.
I just looked towards the little black kit without realizing what was going on. I just closed my eyes again falling into the comfortable darkness.
“Stay awake!” was yelled in my ear
I ignored the statement more distracted by what he was doing with his hands. He smoothly opened the kit and slid out the tester and a test strip. The way he handeled the equipment it was obvious he had done this before. I was looking at his hands distracted by his long fingers and the black marks that stained his knuckles.
As he lifted my hand I saw his face. It was the skater/regect boy form 3 and 6 periods. His crowd didn’t mix with my more upper middle class group so I never thought about him. Now that I had a chance to see his face I was stunned. Under his long hair he had amazing eyes. Eyes like burning sappires, but something clouded them, was it...........concern? Why was he concerned? Then I realized what was going on but still couldn’t resist the urge to sleep.
“Oh crap, your really low, ok just hold on I have some suger packets left over from coffee this morning” he said urgently
I felt my mouth automatically opening in response to the packet being pressed against my lips. I felt as the suger hit my tounge , swallowd and repeated that prosess 3 times before he picked me up.
“Ok sleeping beauty, you need to get down to the office” he said in a snarky voice, making it abundantly clear that he was not nearly a concerned now that I had sugar in my system.
I just snuggled closer and as he lifted me up and I closed my eyes. I heard him telling me to stay awake and I did even though I was really tired. I could feel as we reached to elevator and we went down finally reaching the office. The entire thing had lasted about 3 minutes from the time he found me to the time he layed me down in the sick room while briefing the nurse on my condition.
“So I found her in the hall, tested her, gave her some sugar and she should be more awake soon” he said in a calm voice to the nurse.
“Good job Theo, but how did you know what to do?” she asked curiously
“My little sister was diagnosed a little while ago so I have learned the basics” he replied in a matter-of-fact voice
So I had been right he had done it before. This thought was quickly chased away by the fact that an almost complete stranger had just carried me around school.
I was furious.
“You, why did you carry around?!” I said suddenly earning myself a bought of vertigo as I sat up quickly, ”I’m sure I could have walked!”
He turned to me with a smirk on his face and said in one of the most cocky tones I’ve ever heard,
“Whatever you say sleeping beauty”
I wanted to be angry and part of me was but this anger was over taken by a warm feeling that was spread over my body. I wanted to know him, for him to look at me with that playful look on his face and the thing that made me decide I was going to make that happen was that last look.

Ok so that was the first story I posted and I would love opinions on it. If I get a decent amount of likes then I’ll make a part 1.2
