1026 Words
Moira woke up early in the morning. She pulled open her bedroom's curtains and she smiled when she saw the bright light from the morning sun, illuminating her whole room.
The view of the beautiful, clear blue sky made her feel so much better...
"It's going to be a good day..." Moira whispered to herself
After having a cup of coffee and toasted bread with strawberry jam, she quickly went inside the bathroom for a quick shower. After ten minutes, she steps out from the bathroom, and went straight to her closet to pick some clothes to wear.
She checked herself infront of the mirror, and she smiled in satisfaction when she saw her reflection. Everything looks good...
She then picked up some books, notes and pen. She put it all inside ber backpack, and once she made sure that she didn't forget anything, she locks her apartment door, and rode unto her bicycle.
Moira's hoping that she'll have a great day at the first day of her classes at Alta Tierra University...
====================
After biking for fifteen minutes, Moira finally reached the campus grounds of Waldorf University.
She can't help herself but to feel more excited when she saw her new campus.Waldorf University is so huge and impressive, and it feels like she's going to get lost...
She also saw some students who are studying at the nearby benches. They all look so serious.
Alta Tierra University is known for its high-quality education, and the school curriculum is based on the European syllabus.
Moira stopped at the bicycle parking rack and locked her bike there. Afterwards, she's now making her way to Audio-Visual Room A, where she will have her very first class.
She passed by the soccer field, and she saw a group of varsity players who are doing warm-up exercises...
She didn't notice a soccer ball flying towards her direction. She wasn't able to avoid it, and it landed straight to her face!
She then felt an excruciating pain in her nose, and there was something warm flowing from her nostrils.
And she was in so much pain.
======================
Tyler parked his Bentley at Waldorf's University's parking lot. He glanced at his wristwatch to check the time, and he smiled when he realized that he arrived 15 minutes early before his first class begins.
Well, he could grab a quick bite at the University's Cafeteria. He wasn't able to have breakfast at home because he doesn't want to see his father early in the morning...
He quickly made his way towards the Cafeteria to have a cup of coffee and bread toast...
He suddenly stopped on his tracks when she saw a woman kneeling at the middle of the road. The woman was holding her nose, and his eyes widened in shock when he saw blood on her hands!
Tyler quickly went to her to check up on her.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the clinic!" he quickly offered his help...
====================
At the same time.
Moira heard a man's voice. This man is trying to help her, and she really appreciates his help.
"Y-Yes, please. My nose was hit by a ball and I need to be treated..." she stammered.
"Alright, come with me. I'll take you to the clinic." the man suggested.
“T-Thank you ...” she thanked the man.
Moira secretly surveyed the stranger. He got a pair of big, warm brown eyes. He has long, wavy black hair. He also has thin, kissable lips...
She tightly closed her eyes, as she was trying to calm herself. This is not the perfect time for her to feel attracted towards a stranger...
"Get a hold of yourself, Moira!" she secretly reprimanded herself.
They suddenly heard some footsteps coming their way.
Tyler snapped up his head to see who it was. The members of Alta Tierra's Varsity Team are now surrounding them...
"We're very sorry about what happened! We lost control of the soccer ball and this happened..." the Captain apologized for the whole team.
"I going to take her to the clinic now. Just be careful next time, okay?" Nick spoke. It was obvious that the guys are worried about the girl, and they looked sincere...
"Let me carry you to the clinic."
Before Moira could protest, the man carried her in his arms, in a bridal style. She didn't have the energy to resist because of the pain. As of now, she needs to be treated, and she badly needs to drink some painkillers...
While she was enduring the pain, Moira can clearly see the students staring at them. She wanted to just magically disappear because she's not used to getting all these attention from other people...
"Just be patient. We're almost there..." the stranger tries to calm her. She can also see the worried look on his face...
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the clinic. Their resident doctor was surprised to see them.
"What happened?" the doctor suddenly asked.
Tyler laid the woman on the clinic's bed, then he started explaining everything to the doctor.
"My friend's nose was hit by a soccer ball, and it won't stop bleeding..."
"Alright, don't worry, we'll make your friend feel better." the doctor gave them an assurance.
Moira bit her lip when the doctor started checking her nose. She knows that the doctor is only doing his job but the pain is so unbearable, that she grips the stranger's hand for support.
"Just relax. It'll be alright." the man tried her best to nake her feel relaxed.
A few minutes later, the doctor finally finished treating her nose.
"Everything is fine ... You are still lucky because nothing bad happened to your nose. You will have little bruises, and you will still feel a little bit of pain, so that's why I'll give you painkillers to reduce the pain and swelling. Your nose will finally heal after a week." the doctor explained.
Moira took a relieved breath after hearing the doctor. She then realized that she's still holding the stranger's hand.
She quickly pulled her hand away, as she started blushing furiously like a steamed crab...
