what's with this friggin heat wave?

as if there's not enough mess in life.

i was in the physics library.. trying to get some calc done.. and its HOT out there..
so i decide to go get a cool cool smoothie.

i'm walking towards the student center - and i see this girl.
i recognize her from one of my classes.

she's swaying from side to side.
she, most definitely, couldn't be drunk at this part of the afternoon.

anyways
i look down for a second.
and when i look back up -
she's fallen down.
plonk in the middle of the parking lot.

i rush to her side
and realize that she had a black out!

shit!

what the hell am i supposed to do?

should i carry her into the shade?
she looks kinda heavy.

and not a single person in sight.

and i cant leave her there and get help
cuz the tarmac's so HOT
she'd burn.

so
i pray
and i carry her
(it took all my strength)

fortunately
the shade was 5 steps away
(yeah i counted)

i had my cold dasani with me.
sprinkled some on her face
tried to put some in her mouth

she wakes up
all dizzy
and incomprehensible

she drinks some water
then
she just jumps up on her feet
and thanks me.

no shit. you're welcome girl.
then she says she's going to drive home!

fuck.

would i let her do that?
i yell at her.
ordering her to go to the school health center

she's not going.
so i ask her where she lives

two exits from my house
(about 45 mins)

so i tell her
if you wanna go home this desperately
i'll take you.

and i do.

we reach there.
she slept the whole way.
(maybe she blacked out again)

her gramma thanks me
profusely

i hate that thanking part
so i get out of there asap

and i decide
since i'm so close to home
i'll go home for a couple of hours

its 3 pm
and
under near-perfect conditions
i would've reached in 15 mins

but no!
the traffic on the shorter route
had to be jammed!

51 fucking mins later
i reach home

just to realize that i have to leave in 20 mins
for a class that starts at 6
and ends at 10.

console me..
