Snippet #2153292

Melody checked her designer watch, a gift from her father; more like a bribe, it was ten to four in the afternoon. Time to move, today its the second floors turn. She thought to herself as she climbed off the toilet. After washing her hands and tying her hair back, she exited the girls washroom, the door slammed shut behind her making Melody jump. She looked around, seeing nothing she turned and stared at the door. Jesus I know the door is heavy but I didn't think it was heavy enough to slam like that. To make herself feel safer she backed away slowly, never taking her eyes off the washroom door and headed towards the stairwell.

Standing in the stairwell, Melody. from what she guessed was above her, an echo of a thudding sound. Holding onto the railing she had one foot on the first step, when she heard more thudding, It sounds like someone running... and they were getting closer.

Melody ducked down, covered her mouth with her free hand and held her breath, staring at the top of the stairs. The sound of footsteps slowed down, and Melody hearing them coming down the stairs, quickly hid in an alcove underneath the stairs. Pressing herself against the wall, she held her bag in front of her so tightly her knuckles were turning white. Damn it, why am I hiding? It could be what I'm looking for! Melody angrily thought.

Taking and deep breath, and a quick nod to no one but herself, she jumped out of the alcove and looked around, her bag still clutched to her chest. Nothing... Then she heard a whispering voice, and her head snapped to the staircase. Slowly and quietly she went halfway up the first set of stairs, not lessening the grip on her bag and using the wall for support, she peered over the top step.

Who the hell is that? Melody frowned, while staring at the male sitting against the wall across from her. She watched as he opened his shirt and blushed when she realized she had a good view of his chest, until she saw the blood.

Melody's eyes widened and her mouth fell open, just like a cartoon character. "Oooh my god..."

She flew up the remaining stairs and dropped herself and her bag beside the boy. "What? Who? Why? Where? When? How?" She said rapidly, instinctively her hands went to reach for the wound but she stopped and held them between her and the male.

"I-I have a first-aid kit, it's not much but... I'm sure I have enough to bandage the cuts." Her eyes darting to his chest, and Melody blushed again. I am ridiculous, it's just a boy.
