CHAPTER 2

We arrive at the nurse's office like ten minutes later. I knew that camera boy was struggling, that's why we were walking so slowly. We didn't talk much and in the silence I could hear his breathing and whimpering.

- It's here. - He says suddenly.

I knock on the door three times and we wait for an answer.

- Come on in, it's open. - Someone shouts from the inside.

I open the door and we start walking in. As we enter I can see a man behind a desk looking at some papers. The room wasn't too big and still it looked like everything that could be needed was there.

- Sam honey, I wasn't expecting you until after school. - He says before looking up. - And you are not Sam. - He adds.

- Nope, sorry to disappoint you. - I answer with a smile.

- Oh, it's okay honey. This is even better. - He laughs. - What can I do for you today?

- Well, we might have a situation here. - I say as I point to camera boy with my head.

- Oh, Mr. Parker. We just started school and you are already here? - He asks with concern. - Who did you stand up for this time?

- Oh, you know. Just other of Flash's victims. - He replies with a smile.

- And what about you sweetheart? What happened to your pretty face? - He turns to me.

- Well, as here Mr. Parker just said; he stood up for that guy but, as you can see, that didn't end really well so I had to do something. - I answer. - I just took a slap, but here Mr. Parker took a punch and a kick in the gut. - I add.

- I don't think I recognise your face. Are you new here honey?

I nod.

- So you're telling me that you just started here and you have already confronted Flash? - He questions, eyes wide open.

- That would be right. - Camera boy answers. - And you should have seen how she punched him in the face. She made him step back and everything! - He continues.

I look at him with a smile and he looks back at me.

- And that reminds me that I don't remember thanking you so... Thank you. Thank you for defending us when no one else did. - He says this with a serious face, looking me straight in the eyes.

It felt like the time froze while we were looking at each other. I don't think it was more than 10 seconds but it felt like forever and... I kind of liked it.

- Okay, that's enough. - the nurse laughs. - Let's take a better look at that lip and then I'll go with you Mr. Parker.

He comes closer to me and starts cleaning up all the blood. He then disinfects the wound and, for my surprise, he gives me a lollipop.

- I know you're not a kid but take this as a way of thanking you for what you did. - He tells me.

- I might not look like a kid anymore but believe me when I say that I'm screaming internally. - I laugh. - Thank you ...

- Mr. Collins. - He finishes.

- Well, thank you Mr. Collins.

He smiles and then starts walking towards camera boy.

- I'll need you to take off you shirt Mr. Parker. - Mr. Collins says and camera boy looks at me.

HE NEEDS HIM TO WHAT?! Shit, what do I do? I don't want him to feel uncomfortable. Should I leave? No, that would be pathetic. Okay so I'll stay but, should I close my eyes or something? I start asking myself all this questions and by the time I decide what to do he was already lifting up his shirt. Shit I think. I turn around quickly, tuning to the wall.
