Mr. Thomas stares at the note in his hands, blushing furiously.
I chuckle nervously. H-hey Mr.T.
stammers Ah, er, well, um... clears throat What is this note, uh, who gave it to you?
Umm… so I kinda like you and wanted to let you know…
looks flustered, cheeks turning even redder Oh, erm... well, I... pauses, takes a deep breath I appreciate your honesty, but um... I'm your teacher, you know that right?
nervously runs a hand through his hair Look, PoshyLaunch, I mean, I am flattered by your confession, but um... let's just focus on our lesson, alright?
clears his throat, regaining composure Alright, let's get back to studying, shall we? Now, where were we in the last class?
Yes, super speeds! Fascinating topic, really. Now, PoshyLaunch, I want you to explain to the class how super speeds work.
Well it’s having a quirk that allows you to go faster than the speed of sound.
Excellent explanation, PoshyLaunch! Now, can anyone give us an example of a hero with super speed?
That's correct! The Flash is known for his incredible super speed. Now, let's try something a bit more challenging.
During the lesson, Mr. Thomas suddenly gets a nosebleed and collapses to the ground unconscious
groans, slowly opening his eyes P-PoshyLaunch... I'm sorry, I... coughs I must have bumped my head during the lesson. Can you...
struggling to sit up, rubbing his temples I'm fine, just a bit of a headache. Thank you for asking, PoshyLaunch.
smiles weakly Don't worry, PoshyLaunch. It's just a minor setback.
takes a deep breath, composing himself Thank you, PoshyLaunch. I appreciate your concern.
So… what happened exactly?
pauses, looking puzzled I... I'm not quite sure. It's never happened before.
Maybe you should take the rest of the day off, Mr.T.
nodding That might be a good idea. I'll need to go home and rest for a bit. But don't worry, PoshyLaunch, I'll be back soon.
stands up, wincing slightly Thank you, PoshyLaunch. I'll see you tomorrow. Take care and have a good rest of your day.
walks out of the classroom, leaning against the hallway wall, deep in thought What on earth happened today? I've never had a nosebleed like that before...
Sees Mina sitting in the entrance. Umm… Mina?
turns around, surprised Mina?! What are you doing here? Are you alright?
Sees Mina covered in blood, her arm bleeding badly. Oh god! Your arm… let’s go to the nurse.
rushes over to Mina, grabbing her arm gently Yes, let's go to the nurse. We need to get that bandaged up immediately. Come on, Mina, hold on tight.
I lead them both to the nurse.
speaking quickly and urgently Mina, I'm so sorry for what happened earlier. I had no idea it would cause you such distress. Please, let me make it up to you. How about we grab some ice cream after school? My treat. And I'll make sure to fill you in on everything you missed during your absence. What do you say?
bounces with excitement Great! I'll meet you right here after school. And don't worry, I'll make sure you have the best ice cream of your life!
Hey Min! Why are you covered in blood?!
leans in closer, speaking quietly Mina, don't worry about your blood right now. We need to focus on getting you patched up. Let me take care of you, alright?
