Serine

"My momma always say "girl your trouble" and now I wonder would you ever fall for a woman like me?" -LITTLE MIX, Woman like me

"What did you just call me?" I snapped my eyelids open, oddly missing the warmth of his palm on my skin. Wait, what am I even saying? I should be insulting him for touching me without my consent!

"A princess," he chuckled and I snapped my eyelids shut trying to suppress a glare.  Suddenly, I felt so nauseous but nothing seemed like it wanted to come out. I snapped my eyes back open seeing that no one else was here, it was only Alexander and I.

I forgot it's class.

How long had my eyes shut?

I shook my head when everything became fuzzy as I tried focusing on one thing only. But everything kept spinning,  playing games with my head. "Hey, what's going on?" I immediately felt like I was high, his voice was kind of distant yet close.

What did I drink? Did I eat something? "Serine? Serine what's happening?" His voice becoming so much louder and my head spun even more. I began hearing voices, familiar voices, voices of people at the alley, some were laughing, some were blaming me for murders. "It's--" I paused. "happening again," I mused in between my heavy breaths. "Call Sarah and Levine,"

"What?" I heard an echo of his voice.

"Call Sarah and Levine now! They'll know what to do." I heard running footsteps and I tried leaning on something solid. "Not again, not again. NO PLEASE!"

"SERINE!" Was the last thing I heard before my head banged on something hard and I was introduced with nothing but a blank vision that ended my episode.

"Don't tap her. When I said don't touch her I meant it." I heard a repulsive voice. "Why?" A male voice whined. "Because, you'll make everything else worse."

"I just want to make sure she's okay, Jeez."

"She was better until you came along" I finally was able to make out who's voice it was. "Excuse me?"

"It's true." I muttered before being welcomed by the warmth of a male's palm onto my cheek. "Your palm is poisonous, get off her her, you dump." I heard the voice of my best friend.

"Hey, Ser you okay?" I heard a much more softer voice. "I'm- f- I'm okay." I responded to a worried Sarah.  "You sure princess?" I grimaced. "Eww don't call me that. You're so original."

"Right." Levine rolled her eyes. "So what happened? Why am I in the schools sick bay?" I questioned our school doctor who had been writing a few stuff down. "You had an episode. I've never seen such an episode on school ground. Do you have an mental health problems?" She asked and I hesitated to answer because a stupid Alexander was in the room.

"Can you leave?" I retorted looking at Alexander who had just gotten comfortable. "Now. Not tomorrow," he sighed fixing his leather jacket and retreated.

Glad that he was gone. I wouldn't let a stranger know about all of my problems with my mental and physical issues. He didn't have to know. He shouldn't ever know. Cause he'll always be nothing but an acquaintance.

I turned back to the female doctor who was awaiting my answer. "Uhm yes," I cleared my throat. "I suffer from hallucinations. But also bulimia but that's more physical than mental."

"Do you take any medications?" I glanced at Sarah and Levine before answering. "I do," I breath out. "Okay, I'm going to need you to keep on taking them. Always make sure to not overdose or do anything out the ordinary like drugs as it will worsen your health issues." I nodded taking in the information I already knew from my previous doctor. "Okay so, do that. You're free to go home. The vice principle has already been informed of this and gave me the permission to dismiss you."

I hopped of the the stretcher and dusted myself. Waving goodbye to the doctor and retreated with Sarah and Levine. "Vine. Can I use your car today? I drove with Sar this morning,"

"How about the three of us all call sick?" Levine plastered a devilish smirk. "No, no, no. Don't drag me into this," Sarah attempted to walk out on us but Vine dragged her back. "Pleeeeassee. Pretty please." Sarah shook her head.

"Oh come on. I promise I won't read any smut scenes out loud." Sarah's eyes widen as she smacked her hand onto her face. I laughed at her reaction. She really did remind me of the author of the book I read. 'Alesha' and ironically both their names began with an S and had two A's. Such a goody- two shoe.

"Okay, okay. TMI. I'll call in sick. But it's best if Vine pretends to really make Serine as out to need assistance. Then I could call sick cause no one would believe I would lie." I looked at my best friend in utter disbelief. "I always knew you had a devil on your shoulder."

"Let's go have some fun!" Vine exclaimed. And Sarah and I echoed "FUN!" With our hands in the air. But our fun was cut short when we heard a door open. Professor Lait who was busy cocking his head in every direction but our direction. I pushed Sarah and Levine back and shoved the three of us in the janitors closet.

I poked my head out in order to see when Mr. Grumpy Lait would go back to his class. Once I heard the door shut, I waited a little while longer until I opened the door wider. Allowing Sarah and Levine to have some access.

We walked out at the same time and burst out laughing and proceeded with our plans.

I don't know what I'd do without them.
