3 How I Met You

I had been stuck in this wretched prison for over five months now. I was sick and tired of having to sit there in a stupid bed in a stupid room in a stupid hospital. I went to the gym to do some exercises but I was too tired and only stayed for thirty minutes.

I went back to my room and returned a book to the shelf and got a new one. I grabbed pieces of paper and color pencils. I like to draw. I don't like my drawings but I like to draw. A weird combination. I went back to my room a while dragging my oxygen tank and IV.

I open up my social media and post new pictures of my artwork. I then read and go to book club and we discuss the book. I joined hospital clubs since I was bored to death just sitting in my room. After book club I went back to my room to have lunch.

I ordered a sandwich and strawberries. While I was waiting for my food to come I drew. I drew an eye with a clock as it's iris and pupil. It looked realistic almost. I took a picture of it and posted it. I then read some more and only got to the next chapter when my food came.

I only ate a couple bites. I wasn't really hungry so I hadn't ate it all. The nurse came in and took my vitals. I then had to go to the restroom. I looked in the mirror and wondered what everyone else saw of me.

I went to my next activity, its a little away so I'll tell you why I'm staying here.I have breathing problems. And since I have a hard time breathing they make me stay here to give me constant oxygen. Plus they want to make me their guinea pig since they other people died that had the same thing. So they are constantly watching me.

I arrive at my activity and it's an art club. The instructor, Nurse Wilda, made an announcement. "Today we have a new club member. Please welcome him warmly. Everyone, here is Luca." I looked at Luka. He had brown eyes that were almost red with flecks of blue, like the blue was trying to calm down the fire but failed. He was wearing a blue knit sweater and black sweatpants . His hair was brown and longer than the usual but it didn't go past the bottoms of his ears. His skin was a olive color and his full lips completed the irresistible look. I looked back at his eyes after I took in everything and he was wearing at me with a smirk like he knew what I was thinking. I felt heat rising up my neck to my face. Whatever. I looked away.

He was still looking at me. He finally spoke. "Hey I'm Luka, nice to meet you." Nurse Wilda looked between me and Luka and smiled like she saw her little girl finally in love. I was not ! And neither was he! I'm sure he has some girlfriend perfect or something like that. He would never want an imperfection like me anyways. Nurse Wilda cleared her throat and spoke. "Everyone, we will all take turns telling our names and a little about us. Lyra, let's start off with you." Me? Why me! I got one was already nervous since Luka was here and I was never really good with public speaking.

I cleared my throat and looked at Luka. He was smiling like a little kid on Christmas. It's okay Lyra, you can do this it's just a few words. I took a deep breath and spoke. "Hi I'm Lyra. I like to draw, clearly since I'm here, and I like to read. I also like to act and write. I love roller coasters. I like dogs and cars and animals. I also like swimming and climbing trees or just exploring. That's it." I looked at Nurse Wilda and she seemed surprised and get so proud. I realized I spoke and told a lot about myself for some reason. I realize it was because of Luka. I had wanted to tell him everything about me and I wanted to know everything about him.

So humiliating. He chuckled a little bit and it was someone else turn. We did that and I didn't really pay attention until we got to Luka. Nurse Wilda looked at him. "Would you like to tell us about yourself Luka?" He looked at me and grinned. " Sure Nurse Wilda, but I don't think I could match Lyra's ,but I'll try. I like exploring, singing, drawing, reading, acting, and I love animals especially fish and cats. I still love dogs don't worry Lyra. I think that's all Nurse Wilda. "

He liked a lot of my stuff. Weird. I looked at him baffled and he looked at me. Nurse Wilda cleared her throat and told us that the session was over and that we went over. We all packed up and left I was one of the last ones and so was Luka, which I doubt was on accident.

He walked up to me and smiled. He was pulling along and IV with him also which had another liquid in it which was slightly tinted a brown. Some kind of medicine. He was about five inches than I am and was surprising since in was about five nine. He stated into my boring brown eyes with a little of green flecks in them. My hair was plain brown with natural blond highlights. The back of my hair was dark brown. I had a pale complexion and my lips were full. My nose was not small but not large and I had a heart shaped face.

He held out his hand and said, "Want to walk with me?"
