Getting along (p)

Cecelia's right cheek was swollen red, but Damian was worth getting punched in the face for. Her and Kevin rushed him to the hospital and surely he was going to be okay. No, he was going to be okay. He was in the hands of Claire. She wouldn't let anything bad happen to him on her watch, right? But, then again she wasn't a miracle worker. She was just doing the best she could to get Damian healed as soon as possible. He needed to get better soon. Cecelia was already starting to miss him when he went with Claire into a patient's room. Face it, Damian and Cecelia are meant to be best friends forever. The redhead looked over to see Angelica sitting on a tire swing. Hopefully she would be in a good mood to talk to her. Cecelia needed some cheering up, and someone smiling at her would make her feel like they would really like to have her company. Of course, Cecelia didn't want to see just anyone's smile. She wanted to see Damian's. "H-Hey, Angelica!" Cecelia called to Angelica and waved at her before she walked over to her. "So, what are you up to now, huh?" she said in a teasing way and giggled.

Cecelia blinked and lifted her hand up to touch her red cheek. It's like she forgot it was there. She shook her head and acted like it was no big deal. "Nah, I'm fine. It just hurts when I talk or try to eat. It's just a little swore I guess." Her cheek must've hurt a lot. Cecelia talks... A LOT! It was okay. Cecelia wasn't worried about it like Damian. It's like he wanted her to be checked out first by Claire before him. He had a sprained left shoulder, a broken wing, and a black eye! Most of all, he was dying at least that's what it looked like. "I... uh... it's nothing. I tripped and fell down and I hit my cheek on something. Clumsy me~" Cecelia didn't want Angelica to find out that Adam punched her. It was so unlike him to do that to her or any girl for that matter. She wanted to figure out what was going on with him first before she told Angelica about what happened with Damian, Kevin, and Adam.

"But, I don't like it. It feels weird on my cheek." She also didn't want to be carrying it around with her all day long. She wanted to go back to being herself. She wanted to walk around and talk to people without them asking about her ice pack for her cheek. It was none of their business anyway. It was between her, Kevin, Damian, and Adam. All that happened that day was between them. The beating Damian got... Cecelia refused to speak of it since it was now in the past. She didn't want to dwell on it and walk around all gloomy. She wanted to be happy, and she hoped to see Damian again soon. Hopefully he was feeling better. "I want it to heal and go away, but I don't want to carry an ice pack wherever I go. I just want to go back to being myself, and I want... I want to see Damian smile again." Obviously, she wanted to talk about what happened, but she still wasn't sure if she should tell her friends about it. Maybe it was something the guys wanted to be private and it was in the past anyway.

Cecelia shuffled her feet nervously, and she avoided making any eye contact with Angelica. "L-Love! I don't even think I know what love is to be honest. He's my best friend. I wish I could worry about him without people thinking that I like him in that way." Maybe she did, and she just didn't know it. Hm... Or, it could be that she didn't want to believe it. The embarrassed girl glanced at Angelica, who was smiling about it. She blushed harder and wondered if she really did like Damian in that way. She hoped she didn't. It would be so awkward between the two. They were best friends. "Well, they are... figuring things out I guess." That was one way to put it, right? Cecelia looked up at Angelica and shrugged the love thing away. Angelica had to be joking about that. "I think that everyone is just having a hard time settling into this school. It's not right to use violence, but maybe they feel like that will help them settle in easier. I don't know. It was just a guess."
