Part 1: Extinguished Flames

I would've never expected for my day to end up like this, carrying someone all the way to the nurse's office.

"Hey, careful taking steps, that bruise looks bad." I said, really concerned.

"It-It-It's fine I can walk… " she replies in a very quiet suppressed voice, it's almost impossible to hear, even if you're paying attention.

"Be careful please, I'm responsible for taking you safely to the nurse's office."

Why did this even happen?

Oh, right.

Today was just another boring day, sitting at the same old desk, hearing the lessons that take forever to end and occasionally writing down if asked to. Actually they have been the majority of days, ever since I was transferred to this school earlier this year.

These days leave me no choice but to think of my previous school. How I was best at running on the track and field. I was so fast that my old friends nicknamed me "Red Cheetah Seiko".

But all changed when I moved out to somewhere very far from my previous school.

Now here I am at the new school, no one knows me and I even lose motivation to continue running some days.

At days like this I would turn to my only friend always beside me, the windows of the classroom, looking outside to cleanse some of those thoughts. But it seems even they were gloomy today, the usually shiny sunny rays are now filtered by dark clouds, consuming the once bright blue sky.

The sudden ring of the school bell takes me out of the trance-like state, reminding me that there's still some classes I have to attend before going home.

Next class was PE. A class I used to love, but now it has turned into my dread. It's not that I hate sports, I enjoy them a lot. The track and field is the one thing I don't look forward to.
