I shrugged and tired collecting the drink from her but she withdrew it and sipped from it again.
“Don’t be selfish, Alyssa. Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you. Help me check over that shelf for the book I’m looking for. It’s the prime master book.”
I took in a hard breath and walked over to the shelf. I checked and checked for some time and finally found it.
“Found it! I said with relieve and returned to where she was with the book.
“Oh, th…” she tried talking but was interrupted by a slight cough.
“Thanks” she completed and coughed again.
“Hey, are you alright?” I asked, a little surprised.
“I…I. ..think so” she replied and resumed coughing again and this time around, it was repeatedly.
“Sandy?” I called.
The books and drink fell from her hands and suddenly she was coughing out blood.
My eyes widened in shock.
“Sandy? Wh…What’s going on?” I asked with fear.
She couldn’t speak but just went on coughing and next, she fell on the floor.
Blood started coming out of her nostrils.
Holy Christ!
“Sandy!” I shrieked and knelt on the floor beside her.
She started convulsing and trepidation gripped me.
Few of the students in the bookstore started drawing near.
“Sandy!” I cried.
“What’s happening? Look at me. Sandy! Somebody help! Please! Help!”
