Classmate

4

A couple of weeks had passed for me, nerve wracking as it was. I finally got a handle on school, and what was expected of me, and on the work that was handed out each day. This was a load off my mind, and I felt more relaxed than I had since I had arrived here, and even settled into the ebb and flow of school life.

Arisa and I have become fast friends, yet we had not duplicated that one night of passion over again. It was not a spoken choice, but one that I knew was necessary. Her friends had seen a change in her, being more quite a bit more confident about herself, yet they never expected that she had changed herself overnight. I never would take responsibility for it... because I did not think I had a hand in it.

We did exchange smiles together, mine was pride for her, hers was thanks towards me. I liked those looks, even though I had only did what she wanted to do in the first place. It was good to see that something took her out of her shell, even if it was sex.

I had joined the track team as a long distance runner, like I was for the high school back in Canada. I figured that if I was going to fit in better than I did, I better get involved in things around school, and sports was always a thing I did. Track was a passion of mine, so it just was a no brainer that I would join up in a heart beat.

Yumi also was a long runner too, along with three others. The other male on the team was Susumi, a very small stature yet very resilient boy. He was a quiet one, but his talent for great distanced made him a silent star.

The others two members of the squad were a set of twins named Sako and Makio, the two girls were long and lean and quite a powder keg of energy. They were not much in the way of beauties at this point of time, but their burgeoning curves were a window to some surprises that could be in the future.

One hot day, just after school was let out, The long distance team was out for a run in a park nearby the school. The track coach, Mr Takihashi, was way out in front with the twins and Susumi. Yumi was running not too far in front of me and I was picking up the rear.

I felt like a roasting turkey, as I ran. The sweat was pouring off of me like if I was in the shower. I had never ran in this type of heat before, but I knew I would have to work hard to get use to it for doing exercise. Gym in school would not let me out of it, just because I was hot. I watched the gentle strides of Yumi in front of me, to ignore the heat radiating on me.

I noticed that she was becoming more of a young woman. Her ass was becoming very enjoyable to follow. I liked the small smoothness of it motion, along with its apparent firmness that was easy to make out. I grinned to myself that she was blooming in all of the right ways. That was more than evident than ever.

I felt somewhat weird that I was ogling her so much. I just pushed those urges out, and just concentrated completely on running. I just counted my strides, and found that it helped my breathing and pace, along with disregarding my girl watching streak all at the same time. What ever works, I thought. Hard-ons could be painful if running, I mused with myself.

I was running along at a more comfortable clip to get use to this demanding heat, when I saw Yumi fall in to a heap on the trail. Rocks and dust went flying as she hit hard, sliding down the gentle slope of a mild hill in the trail. I gasped and quicken myself, as I saw her writhing in pain on the path in front of me

I raced up and found her sitting partially up, clutching her ankle, her face a contorted mask.
“ You alright??” I asked, kneeling down.
“ I turned my ankle on some rocks...” She said, tears welling up in her eyes, and rolled down her dust smudged face. “ OOH, It hurts really badly too.”
“ Let me take a look...” I offered.

She stretched the leg with the hurt ankle to me, but not without a wince or two of pain to cross her smooth face. I took it gently and layed it on my lap. I could see up the leg of her shorts, and saw the crotch of her panties. They were quite wet with sweat, and clung to reveal the outline of her vagina perfectly, right down to showing that her pubic hair was not quite grown in there yet.

I just stopped my voyeuristic thoughts, for this was not the time or the place to become a rutting pig, although it did give me a partial heart on nonetheless. I dismissed it out of my mind, and made sure to concentrate on her ankle, and to the pain this girl was obviously going through from her fall.

It was already swelling up and becoming purply and blotchy with each passing second, when I took off her shoe and sock, it became even more puffed up. I turned it a little to one side, to check for anything that was broken. It made the girl gasp in pain, as she tensed up.

My first aid training said it all to me.
“ Looks like a major sprain.” I said.
“ How will I get back to the school?” She asked. “ I can’t run or walk on this ankle.”
I thought for a moment, then said, knowing that the others were way ahead of us. I just thought of only one way this could be done.
“ I’ll just have to carry you back to the house, It’s closer.” I said, knowing that the slight girl would be not hard to get back to the house.
“ Won’t that be hard carrying me back so far?” She said, seemingly quite surprised at my plan of action I had came up with.
“ No....” I said, picking her small form up in my arms and beginning to head back home. “ You are very light.”

As I jogged for home, she snuggled in to me. Her eyes watched my face as we went. She said nothing, as we went on. We did not speak, because it was hard enough to hurry without carrying a person- even though that person was very light and small as she was.

I noticed just how light she was. She was maybe eighty nine to about ninety one pounds or so, and she was such a small slip of a thing. Her boyish figure was definitely becoming feminine, as I could see small mounds where her breasts would be. They seemed to be developing quite nicely, I thought to myself.

I just stopped myself again, and just put my mind to getting her back home to have someone attend to her injuries as soon as I could. I just picked up the pace and headed across a street while still having a walk light. She just closed her eyes, as I could tell the bouncing with every step I had to do, made a tiny bit of pain for her.

We came in to the boarding house. Mr Tanaka, head of the boarding house, saw us come in the front doors. He raced over to me, when he noticed I was carrying the diminutive girl in my arms.
“ What happened?” He asked, getting to my side in a timely fashion.

I puffed for a few seconds to breath in the air conditioned coolness of the entrance way, before I could answer him. Even thought she was light, all of the movement had really made me strain to make it back, I noticed.
“ Yumi took a spill out on the trail.” I said, adding. “ She has a badly sprained her left ankle.”
“ I’ll go get a doctor, you take her up to her room.” He said, as he bolted passed me and out the front doors, showing he had a bit of speed too... that was very remarkably for a heftier set person such as he was
“ I will.” I said, even though the man was already out the door. Yumi directed me up the stairs and made sure what floor was her room.

Entering Yumi’s room on the fourth floor- one floor above me, I put her down on the bed, and snatched a pillow to put under her hurt foot.
“ Thank you, Hal.” She said, gratefully.
“ It’s nothing.” I said. “ I just thought that hobbling all the way to either school or home would take you forever..”
“ Probably...” She giggled. She pulled me down by my arm and gave me a kiss on the lips. “ Thank you again.”

I grinned, and then turned to leave as the house master and a man came in. Yumi called out to me.
“ Will you visit later?”
“ Sure thing, Yumi.” I piped up, adding. “ I’ll get one of the girls to retrieve your regular clothes from school.”
“ Tell Remi, if you don’t mind. I totally forgot about my clothes after I had hurt myself.” She said, realizing that her clothes were still in her gym locker at school. “ Good thing you remembered.”

I left, now to find Mr. Takihashi to tell him why we did not follow the others. I just raced to meet them back at school, and to find Remi who was in a meeting for a club she was a member of to gather up the clothes for Yumi... and to pick up my clothes too while I was there. Even I had forgot about my own stuff. I chuckled to myself and sprinted out of the building and back to school a block or so up.

After supper, I went up to Yumi’s room. I knocked and waited..
“ Come in.” She called out.

I walked in, and she looked at me. She was laying in bed, her leg propped up on a big fluffy pillow. She wore a long pink nightgown that went well passed the knee and some fuzzy slippers- but only one of them.
“ How are you doing now?” I asked, taking the chair from the desk to sit near her bed.
“ The doctor said for me to rest for a few days, then use crutches around school for a week..”
“ At least you get a couple of days from school.” I laughed.
“ They are sending a tutor with my school work to me while I recuperate.” Yumi said playfully pouting, adding. “ Though they said that I will get time to rest first, but they will make sure I won’t fall too far behind.”

I shook my head, and laughed.
“ I spoke too soon about the school thing, eh?”
“ Yeah...” She giggled. “ You did.”

We talked for a hour, until I had to go to finish my homework. She stopped me verbally before I even got to the door.
“ When I am up on my feet, I will thank you in some way.” She said, propping herself up on one arm.
“ You don’t need to...” I said meekly. “ I just knew that you needed some medical help.”
“ I told the other girls of what you did...” She smiled broadly. “... they thought it was so sweet and gentlemanly of you to help me. The girls are all just buzzing about what you have did.”
“ I just did what anyone would have.” I said, feeling shy at all of the praise the girl was heaping on to me. “ That’s all.”
“ Trust me, Hal...” She said, a seriousness in her voice. “ Not all of the boys going to our school would have done what you did, they would have ran to get help and left me all alone in that park.”
“ I could not do that.” I said, heading to the door, then turning to continue my thought. “ I cant see anyone doing that stupid of a thing. It would be dangerous to leave a girl alone out there.”
“ They would, though!” Muttered Yumi at the thought. “ That is why I feel so grateful towards you.”

I understood what the girl was saying, but I could not see why some of the boys would do that. I guess that cultural differences I think of from time to time, was rearing it’s ugly head once again. That was the only rational thing I could attribute it to. It was stupid, yet it was what it was all along.

I said my good nights, and began to leave. She called out once again.
“ I am serious... I will thank you, for I am grateful.”

I agreed to it, smiling that I was happy to see her now on the mend. I left, closing the door behind me, happy that I did what I had too. This was pride, I said to myself. I like it. I made my way to the stairs with a quick step, bounding down to my floor.

I felt a little guilty that someone wanted to thank me so much just for doing something that I felt was right, but at the same time I did feel like I had did something good. That made me smile to myself, with that, I continued down stairs and back to my room, and to the studies that awaited me.

Tonight was going to be one long, long night of studying. Good thing I did not need beauty sleep... or maybe I did and did not know it. Anyway, it was after two when I crawled under the covers and allowed myself to sleep.

This school was hazardous to sleeping, even when you did get some shut eye. Homework seems to creep even into there.
