CHAPTER TEN

Emery Austin's POV

"Calm down, Emery. I think they are just doing it for the sake of each student, including you. Those tests will not harm you after all. Do you even think of it? It can determine whether you have underlying health problems or whether you are healthy. "

Somewhat he had a point.

I paused for a while and stood up.

Alright then, I will take these gross medical exams!

I asked Cliff to come with me to the school's clinic. That is the place where students will take the med exam. The pathetic girls were still waiting outside the administration office. Good thing the security guards were still there.

We have come peacefully to the clinic without any fanatics following us. Thanks to the reliable security guards.

I went to the first station where I needed to take the first test- a urine test. The nurse gave me a small bottle and I asked why. Little did I find out that it was for me to have a full bladder of urine. Just bare with me, okay? It is my first time doing this.

Cliff was on my side, and I really made sure that I didn't look funny to him. He was making an innocent and angelic face at me, so maybe he wasn't thinking anything bad about me, right?

I went to the restroom, obviously to take some urine. I asked Cliff if he could come with me inside, but he strongly said NO. Care to explain yourself, Emery? Well, I just want him to come with me because I don't want to hold this pathetic bottle as I pee. I want him to hold it for me and help me to fill it up with my urine. I don't mind him seeing me in a state like that, after all he is not someone else I personally know. And honestly, I really do not know how to do it, and I also think it is a yucky thing to do. Oh look, I am talking to myself again.

I have been staying in the rest room for almost half an hour. Look, I can't really do it. Can I just get some water and fill this instead? But urine must be colored yellow. Should I buy a coloring agent first? Aish! This is frustrating! And at the same time, it is so irritating!

Someone knocked on the door. I shouted "Wait" Well, it's Cliff asking what took me so long.

If he just came here with me, maybe I would already be finished with it.

I first sprayed alcohol on the toilet bowl, then I slowly sat in it. I closed my eyes as I put the bottle near to my sensitive part down there. At the back of my mind, I am cursing a million times. After several minutes, I successfully peed, but I only gathered almost one-eighth of the bottle. I remembered the nurse saying I had to fill it out. Sorry not sorry. I did everything just to take this first exam on the list.

When I finally went out, Cliff looked so worried. I rolled my eyes. No one knows how I battled with different emotions when I am inside the restroom.

I went to the nurse who assisted me earlier. I handed out the bottle with the urine.

"Miss Austin, I told you to fill it right? You have been away for so long, yet you have not been able to fill it. "

I bit my lower lip to calm down. Calm down, Emery. Calm down, don't scream at the nurse. She deserves a slap for humiliating you, but calm down. They might add another series of medical examinations if they find out you hated it so much.

Then I got the bottle again and proceeded to the rest room.

I slammed the door upon closing it. I went to the faucet and filled the bottle. I checked the color. Looks can be deceiving. An evil laugh suits you right, Miss nurse.

"That quick?" Cliff said when I went out of the room. I just nodded.

I handed out the bottle to the nurse. She gave me a mean look. It seems like she can not believe I returned it filled with urine and in just a short period of time compared to earlier.

We proceed to the next test. It's fucked! Examination of the blood.

Alright then! I admit it! One of my weaknesses is the needle! I hate it every time I need to take a test with the presence of a needle.

I paused for a while. I showed him the next step.

"I am afraid of needles," I said. I do not know why I let him know one of my weaknesses, but somehow I felt like I had to tell him.

To my surprise, Cliff held my hand. I immediately withdrew my hands from him, but he held them again.

"I will just be here." He walked first towards the next station. There is a male nurse waiting for us. I don't know, but I see him as a butcher. I sat in front of the nurse. He was preparing the syringe that he would be using. I looked in the other direction, trying to avoid him. I felt Cliff tighten his grip on my hand. Somehow, I felt a bit safe knowing that he was beside me.

The nurse carefully held my arm. This is it!

I let a deep sigh.

"Relax, Miss Austin. I will be gentle." I closed my eyes as I felt the needle slowly injected on my arm. Again, at the back of my mind, I have been cursing a million times.

"It is done. You can now proceed to your next exam," the nurse said.

Finally!

The next series of medical examinations were just easy. As I have said, easy! But there are so many enumerated on the list. Once I have finished, I will surely badmouth the rotten system of this school on social media. Of course, I will not do it. My parents might find out about it.

After several hours, the long wait is over! I finally graduated from this pathetic series of medical examinations.

When I entered the car, I immediately leaned my head on the head rest. I closed my eyes. What an irritating, long and tiring day!

"Shall we go home now? Or you still wanted to go to a nearby restaurant and eat?" Cliff asked me.

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Let us eat first then go home after." I answered. At least I have to treat him some dinner. He stayed with me all day long, never left me, and bared his time to me. He shared a boring day with me. A dinner is just a token of appreciation, but still, I don't like him.

After we ate, we went straight to the condominium. We separate ways of course upon reaching our designated rooms.

But before he could finally disappear from my sight, I told him the phrases I rarely say,

"Thank you."

A "thank you" with my utmost sincerity.
