I woke up. Something’s going down my throat. Kate, Hannah and Sara looked really worried Ben was on his phone and Nathan  and James were standing over me. Nathan  seemed so relieved to see me awake.

“Are you trying to give us all a heart attack? If you are, you just came pretty close!” he asks as James helps me up.

“I was so worried!” said Hannah, “Ben was just going to phone for an ambulance. James’s a life saver!”

“How?” I ask.

“He knew how sometimes your blood sugar goes a bit weird, so he got you to drink a fizzy drink.”

“O’h Frond!” I scream as I get up.

“Heal,”  I hear James say for a moment I feel nothing but bliss as he heals my ankle but I know what it means.

My chances are gone! The cross country semi-final and the ball room exam are this week!

James knows I feel miserable, so he walks me home. I can walk fine, but after a few minutes I grab him for support. He doesn’t mind, he even offered to carry me home. I told him no thanks.

“You’re too independent,” he says. He’s being polite- he means too proud!

I walk in and my mum’s all over me. I tell her what happened, she hugs me and says

“OK, I’m sorry but I’m going to have to see to the pixie-goblin incident. O’h Dans, I can’t believe this who would hurt an innocent child?”

I feel horrible. My mum came first when she ran,I won’t even have a chance! That’s why I cried. James has healed my ankle before. He knew that’s why I was crying….then why did he offer to carry me?

When my dad comes home he says the same things as mum. I write down what I can remember of lasts night’s dream (Foaly’s recommendation) and sit and wonder about James. Why did he offer to carry me? My ankle’s fine but it won’t be really strong for a good few days….too late.
