Replacement Lantern

Chapter 02. Replacement Lantern

The swimming athletes' meeting will be held at nine in the morning, it is expected that all members attend on time. Please give permission to the maple teacher. For further information, I will present it at a meeting later.

The time had already shown at seven in the morning, when Lantern was about to cross the road to get to the last bus he had to ride, before he was late to come to school. There's no way he's late on his first day at a new school, right? Not to mention, he also had to attend meetings with swimming athletes at his new school.

The mini-sized phone has already entered into the pocket. Still vividly remembered in the minds of the lanterns. Exactly three weeks ago, a swimming coach offered himself to move to Galaxy High School. Given, the facilities in the old school can not support the talent of swimming lanterns. Therefore, he was asked to move to a new school with the best facilities to improve his abilities.

Lanterns are also still unexpected, the road to achieve his goals will be so facilitated. As a person with below-average finances, scholarship is the main factor for Lanterns to approve this school transfer. He was even willing to leave the village where he was born and Bibi who had been taking care of him after the departure of the two people.

And today, in the middle of the city with a population density of over fifteen thousand. Lanterns set foot on their own, with new hopes to reach their goals that were almost closed due to the lack of facilities in the old school.

The lantern raised its hand to the level of half its body. Instructs the riders to give a moment of leisure for himself to pass. He had to board a bus that would stop at a stop, not far across the street. Although he had only first set foot in the city, it turned out that he had not been so difficult to adapt.

Occasionally the gaze of the lanterns circled in any direction, on the right road there were still many vehicles crossing each other. Without Lanterns realizing it, a sports car speeding above the middle average is moving towards it. The lantern was still walking slowly, as several people who were watching started shouting at the girl.

"AWAAASS'S GOT A CAR!"

"WHAT A WEIRD GIRL!"

"HEY BOY, MOVE THE CAR!"

The lantern frowned, confused to see how many people were shouting at him. Then he realized when he turned his head, a car was speeding towards him. Unfortunately, the distance of the car was already close. With the rest of the distance available, the Lantern tried to dodge quickly.

The car went uncontrollably. Almost hit several vehicles that crossed in opposite directions. There was a loud impact when the car grazed the road divider, and meandered in no direction. Until finally the car stopped poor across the middle of the road.

The lantern fell, one of his legs was already stuck in the front of the car earlier. He grimaced with pain in several parts of his body, especially his legs and shoulders, which hit the side of the road. Some people came closer to help the girl. However, everyone's attention was now only on the car that had hit the lantern earlier.

"Are you okay, Lantern?"

The question of a woman managed to distract the lantern. Instantly the atmosphere of the road became much more crowded than before. Many vehicles have stopped as a result of this incident. The lantern circulated his gaze with a confused face.

Did all this happen because of her?

Many people began to arrive and swarm the car that had hit the lantern earlier. The girl increasingly did not understand, when it was clear the screams of some people. The group of people were still blocking the view, Lanterns could not see what was really happening to the car or even the owner.

"You know my name?" The lantern asked, holding her painful shoulder.

"Woman Princess Lantern, that's your name, isn't it?" The woman smiled, asking as she pointed to the name on the Lantern school uniform. "Your leg is hurt, let me take you to the hospital!"

"What about them?" ask Lantern.

Without waiting for approval, the woman directly pulled the Lantern out of the crowd. The view of the lantern is still fixed on the car that hit it earlier. At first glance he could see, a man was holding a girl in a state of blood.

Whatwasthat? The blood? The lantern's heart beat even faster when it saw the two people. The woman was still clutching her hand which began to tremble in fear. Lantern footsteps are now stopped in front of a hospital. Whether it was luck or a coincidence, he had an accident right in front of the hospital.

The woman pulled the lantern back in, then called the hospital attendant. His hands and feet hurt, but the lantern only complied when the woman took him into a room in a wheelchair.

"Sit down, let me check!" On the table, the woman took some medical equipment and some medicines.

"Are you a doctor?" The lantern stood on top of the gurney, staring at the woman who was now wearing a pure white robe. Without an answer can be concluded, it is true that the woman is a doctor.

"I can not linger, because soon there is a schedule of operations. Hold it, the wound on your leg is quite wide." The woman deftly cleaned some of the wounds on the Lantern's body.

"Doctor Findrilia?" The lantern held the hand of the doctor who was treating the wound, while reading the name embedded in the doctor's shirt. "Did you see what happened to the owner of that car?"

Doctor Findrilia shook her head, then thought a little. "Eitherway! They must have been hurt, too. But next time, don't think about other people. You are also hurt, at least think of yourself!"

"As long as they're nobody, why do you bother thinking about them!" murmured Doctor Findri.

The lantern nodded then grimaced in pain, one of its legs being treated by Doctor Findrilia. "Is the wound bad?"

"The external injuries aren't very, but your left leg is a little sprained. If you don't move much, maybe in a few days it will heal."

"No need Doc, I'm fine." As soon as Lantern refused, considering the cost of this hospital may have drained the rest of the money. As he remembered the remaining money yesterday was only five hundred thousand. If you follow what the doctor says, maybe he will not have a deposit of money anymore.

"You sure?" Lanterns nodded.

Finished treating his patient's leg, Doctor Findrilia sat herself in a chair and wrote something on paper. "There are some medications to take, you can take them at the pharmacy after this."

"Thank you doctor!"

In front of the doctor's room, Lantern sighed in looking at the prescription paper of the medicine he had to buy. The money in his wallet was only five hundred thousand. If you force to buy the drug, just imagine the remaining three hundred thousand. On the other hand, there is no work that can be done to guarantee his finances later.

Should I redeem the medicine?

Thinking about how to manage finances does make most people dizzy. Instantly a row of mathematical formulas appeared in the lantern brain. In addition to loving swimming, lanterns also include smart students in school. Therefore, he could easily get a scholarship at the famous school.

"Okay, next time I buy it. Just spraining won't make me die, will it?"

The lantern asked itself, then casually put his foot away. The hospital corridor was quite quiet, the lanterns were limped by occasionally clinging to the wall. When passing through a fork in the corridor, a loud clash sounded making the lantern step stop before passing.

"GO! FROM NOW ON, NEVER GO NEAR MY DAUGHTER AGAIN!"

The lanterns eyes were perfectly rounded when they saw the intense quarrel of the two adult men. One of the men fell in front of the lantern, after getting a punch. The chaotic-looking man in clothes full of blood red marks. No one dared to approach, not even the hospital officials chose to leave. Likewise with the old man who had hit him earlier.

"Are you okay?" The lantern approached slowly, reaching out, trying to help the slightly troubled man to stand up.

"How can you help me, while your legs are limping like that!" The man said scathingly, unwilling to stare towards the Lantern.

"All right, it's up to you!" The lantern was quite upset by the man's words, so he chose to leave without arguing with him.

"Wait on! Vanes?"

The man pecked on the spot, realizing something was strange. The sound made him wake up from the slump. His steps were quite fast approaching and holding the lantern's hand. Until the views of the two are mutually agreeable, with questions that are opposite to each other.

"Mr Kenzo!"

The assistant's call could not distract him, Kenzo still looked at the girl in front of him questioningly.

"Are you okay?" Without further ado, Kenzo swiftly pulled the lantern to the chest. His embrace was so tight, as if reluctant to let go for good. "Thank God!"

"Om who?" As forcefully as the lantern pushed the foreign man until his embrace was released. His eyes closed for a moment, feeling a slight pain in his shoulder. Then quickly, Lantern glanced sharply at the man. "Why did Om suddenly hug me?" Asked in an angry tone.

"You ... Vanessa?" Kenzo's voice choked, this girl before him was very similar to his lover. From his voice, posture and look in his eyes. However, the structure of their faces is not so similar. Kenzo is still researching, looking for other similarities to the girl before him with the lover. "Did I see wrong?"

"What is it that is seeing?" The lantern brushed off Kenzo's two hands that suddenly held both of her shoulders. "I'm not Vanes like Om was talking about!"

Kenzo rubbed his face roughly, then grabbed his hair. So crazy is he now, to think that the girl looks like Vanessa. Though it was very clear, he saw for himself Vanessa was lying weakly in the ER room earlier.

The lantern simply shook his head inexhaustibly, then sauntered away leaving the unknown man behind. Really, what kind of bad day is this? On the first day of school, he had to experience all of these things.

"God! I have to go to school!"
