 Wowza!
Willow had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life.
Well, maybe except for that time. . . Never mind. Thinking about the most embarrassing moments of her existance was definitely not a very good idea right now, all things considered. One thing was for certain, though--if this was not THE most embarrassing moment ever, it was most likely in the top five, then.
Cringe.
But then, why was she cringing? It wasn't like she had been hurt. More like she had hurt someone, which reminded her. . . "Er, are you still there?" And just to check, the girl looked over her shoulder for a split of second before shifting her gaze back to the floor. Truth was, when Professor Ashby commanded her to take Dominic to the hospital wing, Willow had only muttered a quick 'come on' as she grabbed her messenger bag, without even checking the boy had actually followed.
For all she knew, Dominic might have walked away or something. But he hadn't, for when she checked the boy was behind her.
Well, he certainly walked quietly. That, or maybe she was just too into her own little world. Willow knew herself only two well to know that it was most likely a bit of both.
As soon as she stepped inside the waiting area of the Hospital Wing, Willow started to feel a bit nervous. Hospitals were places that she did not particularly enjoy, and to be honest, if it weren't because she had been the one to cause the damage, she would have left as soon as she was sure the boy was inside the place.
But, accidentally or not, she had caused the damage. Besides, what would Dominic would think if she left? Wait--who cared what he thought, eh? She didn't care what he thought. Or anyone else, for that matter. Yes, that's right.
"Here we are," muttered the girl as she placed her messenger bag on one of the plastic seats. And then she just stood there looking a bit awkward, trying not to stare at him. "You, er--nevermind." Yes. Nevermind seemed like a pretty smart thing to say right now, because who knew what kind of stupidity she would have said because of how awkward she was feeling?
