The medical bay was a big room in the halls of the school, multiple beds spread out along both sides of the walls, all with clean white sheets and fresh pillows. It was quiet when I walked in, only one other student in here, he was laying in bed with a multiple bandages wrapped around his arm with a slight tinge of red bleeding through, he must of gotten hurt badly at training? I thought that wasn't allowed but it disregard it and try to find Anita.

I look around, taking in everything. There was heaps of trolleys filled with all sorts of medical things, bandages, scissors, medication and lots more. The sun was beaming through the big glass window down the other end of the med bay, which was covered by massive white slightly see through curtains.

In the corner of my eye a lady walked out of the back room, carrying more bandages. I'm going to guess that's Anita. She looked to be around the mid 40's with brown hair which was tied up and wearing black pants and a black top with a white apron type thing to cover her clothes from anything she might have to deal with in here.

She walks over to the boy laying down on the bed, I take a few steps forward but not enough to interrupt them. "Right Cole, I've got some bandages to fix up that arm" she says walking over to his bed, the boy sits up and rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed that he's currently injured. "I am very surprised that it hasn't stop bleeding since it happened yesterday during training" she said shaking her head whilst unravelling his old bandages off his arm.

"That dickhead in Marnock house, he just doesn't know when to stop" the boy spoke, anger trailing in his voice, "I know, I'll speak to Mr Whitlock today about the situation. You don't know his name?" She spoke softly in attempt to calm him down.

"No, all I know is he's Flynn Barlow's brother-" he pauses and takes a breath, "when I see him next I'll kil-" he spoke before Anita interrupted him from saying something probably alarming. "There's no need for that, I'll speak to Mr Whitlock and he'll sort him out" Anita spoke as the old bandage was now completely off his arm,

So that brown haired boy did this? Cole's arm was cut raw, red slashes all down his arm, deep and still bleeding. Cole winced at the fresh air hitting his cuts. As I was looking or staring at his arm I should say, I spot Cole's eyes catch mine, he looked me up down quickly before he winced with pain again as Anita started putting the new bandage on.

"You'll need to rest here for one more night, tomorrow the bleeding should eventually stop and you can go back to your dorm" Anita cleans up the old bloody bandages and puts them in the bin and spots me.

"Oh darling, sorry I didn't see you there. What can I do for you?" She spoke softly towards me, "I don't really know, a friend told me to come here after I passed out by the lake" I say, trying not to make a big deal about it, especially since the other boy nearly had arm torn off by the brown haired boy, I felt as though I didn't really need to bother her.

"Come sit down and tell me what happened"

——

Ten minutes go by with me and her chatting about it, I told her everything. Well not including the flashbacks I had, she didn't need to know and I don't want her to know. She obviously found it confusing but she told me I would be okay to head back to my dorm and to eat some good food, take two tablets she gave me and get to sleep.

I walk outside and the sun was down and the stars were in full beam in the sky, "oh my gosh Octavia, are you okay?" I spot Tilly and Adira waiting outside for me, Tilly gives me a hug, tighter than usual. I thought it was a bit dramatic, I mean I'm fine, I've been put through more then this before but Tilly doesn't know that and so I made sure to appreciate the gesture and her caring for me.

"We thought we'd wait for you and take you back to the common room" Adira spoke with a warm smile and we all started walking that way.

"Thank you guys for getting me, you didn't have to do that" I say looking at both of them, knowing I need someone else's fingerprints to get into the marnock common room, the girls pretty much saved me from being stranded outside for the night.

"Of course girl, we got your back, as well as what happened at the lake-" Tilly paused speaking for a second, I was confused by what she meant, "-like what is up his ass at the moment, and why you?" Tilly questioned me but it was more for herself to figure out, I mean I've got no clue why this man hates me,

"That boy is always grumpy but with you he just seems to flat out hate you-" Adira said as well trying to figure out why. "-I mean he hates everyone but you know what I mean"

I shrug my shoulders, I'm not even giving him my time. "It's not worth even trying to figure it out guys, I've got zero clue as to why he wants to make my life hell and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon" I laugh as we reach the door of the common room,

"He's a mysterious man that's for sure, but don't worry about it, you got us" Tilly puts her finger on the scanner, the green line scans her finger going up and down twice before the door unlocks, "and that's all that matters" Adira finished Tilly sentence as we walk into the common room.

We spot the group in the kitchen and walk in, Flynn had his back to us as he was stirring something on the stove, Frankie, Henry, axel, and the brown haired boy were just standing around the island bench, talking and cutting up some vegetables. Once the group noticed we had walked in I received a lot of smiles from the group,

"You feeling a bit better now?" Henry asks me as he puts down the knife he was using, Flynn quickly turned around as soon as he realised I had gotten back from the medical bay, I nod my head in response,

"Yeah, Anita was lovely, just said for me to rest up, eat some food and head to bed" I say letting out a loud sigh as Frankie and Adira start putting out plates and cutlery out on the table.

"Lucky for you because dinner is just about ready" Flynn spoke as he brought over the sauce pan and started preparing dinner.

One thing I do know, is that I am not resting tonight.

Since the incident that happened at the lake, I want to train.

I'm going to train tonight, alone.
