My Cheerleader

CHAPTER 20

I keep looking over my shoulder as I walk down the hallway, for any clue of who it could be. When I got home from Jennie's house all night I was laying in bed thinking about who it could be

From my lack of sleep I now look like a zombie, I guess makeup could've fixed it but I really couldn't be bothered and didn't care

Suddenly someone grabs my shoulder and turns me around when I saw who I signed with relief

It's just Somi, a very bouncy and excited Somi. Her curls are like springs ah she jumped up and down

"Hi! I have..." she exclaimed then whispered the next part like it was some big secret "Gossip" the last bit did slightly intrigue me. Before she could say another word the bell rung to go to class

"Tell me later, I'll see you at break?" I replied, she nodded in return and turned around to head to class

I got into my first lesson which is biology, normal Jennie sits next to me in this lesson but doesn't appear to be here yet

Sitting down in my seat I focused on the door the whole lesson wondering if Jennie hasn't arrived at school yet

Maybe she's just running late?

The next class passed by, still no Jennie. I'm trying to stay calm as I thought maybe she is skiing

Even though I knew she doesn't do that but I needed some sort of false hope

At break time I didn't care for Somi's gossip anyway although if I'd felt different today, I would've found it funny that Mr. Davis and Miss. Blackberry is supposedly dating

Miss Blackberry looks like she's nearly one hundred

When she didn't show up for art I started to get worried

We both enjoyed art a lot especially because we sit at the same table, in art we were doing drawings of different animals, looking at their factual structures and facts about their environmental issues and how we can help protect them

All the different artworks we looked at by a variety of artists was amazing and I know Jennie would've loved it

The moment I started to panic was lunch. Everyone was acting normal which is so unfair considering I'm sitting here practically shaking by myself

Somi is in running lines for a drama with a friend called Noah. I looked around the canteen, Jennie nor Tzuyu were here

But where were they?

The end of the day came painfully slow every bit of it laced with anxiety. Anxiety for Jennie and the photo, I didn't walk out of class

I ran, every muscle in my body working harder and harder to be faster, to find an answer

The crisp autumn turning on winter air hit me like ice, my hair is going crazy in the wind but I couldn't care

All I cared about was Jennie, I carried on running around the school grounds to see if there was any clue of Jennie being somewhere

Then I saw her. Laying on the floor covered in blood looking lifeless, I ran over to her

Her face had blood spread all over it, shaking I took my phone out of my pocket. Quickly dialing 999

"H-Hello?" I saw feeling sick to my stomach with dread

"Hello, 999 what's your emergency?" The phone asked

"Ambulance, I need an ambulance"

"Where are you?"

I just about managed to say my school name and about where we are on the grounds

"Okay, Miss can you explain to me what's happened" I clam voice replied

"M-my girlfriend Jennie she's covered in blood and I don't know if she's breathing"

"Can you check her pulse?"

"Okay, I'll try"

I reached down to her neck placing my index finger and my middle finger gently on her. Trying to find a sign of life

"I think so, but I'm not sure" my voice came out frail

"Okay try to stay calm an ambulance will be with you soon-"

Then my phone went dead. Of course, I have no charge
