[center][h2][color=orchid] Mikayla Iovine [/color][/h2][/center] Mikayla could not understand why Alice would help her. She would not believe that anyone would be nice just to be nice. The singer must have some kind of ulterior motive, but none was obvious to Mikayla. If it was the other way around, she might have even left Alice behind and let her be somebody else's problem. Perhaps she wanted Mikayla to "owe" her, but what would a girl who had everything want from her anyway? Or maybe she was just looking down on Mikayla from her stupid, golden pedestal. Either way, Mikayla did not trust her. But none of that mattered because her ankle was hurting her so much that she couldn't bear it. She didn't have any choice but to let Alice help her to the clinic. [color=orchid]"...Thank you,"[/color] she said, begrudgingly as she hopped towards the clinic on one foot while using Alice as her support. A minute in, Mikayla felt the need to stop. [color=orchid]"W-wait!,"[/color] she cried out. [color=orchid]"Can I take off the other boot first? I don't want the same thing to happen again."[/color] She hobbled back down and removed her other shoe. She sighed with relief before struggling to get back up to Alice. [color=orchid]"Ok, we're good."[/color] When they finally reached the clinic, they were quick to explain what happened to the nurse there and she let Mikayla take a seat on the cot. She also reassured them that it was a minor sprain and that Mikayla simply needed to ice it and take it easy for a few days. Mikayla thanked the nurse politely and then applied the ice she was given onto her swollen ankle. [color=orchid]"Oh!"[/color] she winced at first, the coldness of the ice somewhat burned. She pursed her lips and tried to focus her attention on something else to forget the pain. [color=orchid]"Thank you again for helping me,"[/color] she said to Alice and this time she meant it. She had been more than kind as they made their way to the clinic and Mikayla could not help but feel grateful that she was there. While she was still cautious and not open to the idea of friendship, maybe Alice wasn't so bad after all. As soon as the pain had been numbed by the ice, Mikayla realized that they had left her stuff back in the hall. [color=orchid]"I need to go back for my luggage!"[/color] she said, then attempted to hop off the cot. Fortunately, the nurse made her stay down before she hurt herself more than she already has. [color=orchid]"But my stuff..."[/color] [@TheHangedMan]
