Becoming the Luna

Chapter 6

"O-Oh n-no! It's V-Vi-Virgil." I whisper desperately, trying to hide inside Dale.

Hurried footsteps and a hand grabs Dale, effectively stopping us. He turns around, looking very unimpressed with Virgil's anger.

"What the fuck did you do?" Virgil demands his eyes dark, Shana looks very strained and worried beside him, placing a hand on his tightly clenched fist. The only reason Dale doesn't have a black eye yet is because he's still carrying me.

I intervene quickly before Virgil changes his mind and decides to land the punch. "V-Vi-Virgil." I stutter out desperately, reaching for him. "I-It wasn't D-Dale, h-he d-didn't d-do any-anything."

"What sort of boyfriend are you, letting your girlfriend get beat up by dudes in the boys bathroom?" Dale accuses, snatching me back and ending my efforts to reach for Virgil, his leaf green eyes nearly glowing.

Shana is momentarily stunned, "Girlfriend?"  She mouths to me, I close my eyes in embarrassment, this was one of those days I wanted to start over.

Virgil isn't even fazed by the obvious confusion. "Thanks." He bites out coldly, the appreciation has the same energy as 'go jump off a cliff. "Now give me back my girlfriend."

"No. Now get away from me, you're in my way." Dale deadpans, making a move to continue his journey.

"I won't ask you again." Virgil says in a deadly voice, stepping in front of us, electric blue eyes nearly jumping from his face with how hard he is glaring.

"Hayden sounds terrified of you so no, I'm not giving her back. Now get the fuck out of my way." He says, his quiet voice ringing volumes, the entire hallway is silent now, the entire school watching the school's heartthrob go against the hot new kid... and over me! - I wail mentally, wishing I was a bird, a pebble, anything but Hayden LeBaron right now.

"P-Please stop f-fi-fightin..." I start to say but a sound cut me off, are they--- are they growling at each other? The deep sound reverbrates around me, making terror echo painfully in my chest, I don't know why but the sound of it makes me want to cry.

My frozen state of panic eventually cracks when I start to choke and cough, hacking up blood. My vision goes hazy as Virgil start to panic, blood keeps spilling from my mouth and I hear their agitated voices like it's through a pool of water.

"She might have hit her head, don't let her black out." Dale says, his voice and face swimming in and out of my consciousness.

"Hayden! Hayden!" Virgil latches on to my hand. "Stay with me okay, you'll be fine. Give her to me." He demands again and I want to punch him for insisting on referring to me as a girl.

"Not a fucking chance, get out of my way." Dale refuses.

"Will you two block heads stop fucking fighting for one fucking minute." Shana interrupts, looking and sounding very furious. "Hayden is really hurt and all you care about are your bloated egos." She sassed and they both blink at her harsh words.

Dale shoulders Virgil out of the way and tears at a dead run towards the nurse's office, how he know where it is? Is still a mystery to me.

Virgil is directly beside him a heartbeat and they start to argue again but I can't keep up anymore because I'm suddenly so tired, I can't keep my eyes open anymore. Blinking becomes harder and harder to do each time, I think Virgil is talking to me but I can't hear him. I let my eyes close for the last time.
