Selena woke up in a hospital, unable to recall anything, not even her own name. Nurses and doctors rushed towards her and asked if she could remember anything. It was all too much. She had no idea who she was or where she was. 

A young doctor told everyone to get out of the hospital room. He ran some tests on her and declared she had a mild head injury, he saw that she was disoriented and after she told him she didn’t remember anything he said that she has amnesia, but it wouldn’t last long until it disappeared. Amnesia could be permanent, but not in her case, he comforted her. 

He told her to rest and after some time someone came to visit her. Her parents. She was starting to remember and no longer felt so vulnerable. 

After some more time, her memory came back and she was sent home. But she still had no clue how she ended up on a hospital bed. 

She was told to stay home for the rest of the week, which was a relaxing thought as she did not yet feel safe, but she also wished to find out how she got hurt. Her parents didn’t know either the details, they were called by the head teacher who didn’t know what had happened, only that a boy in her class called the ambulance. The boy was Philip, one of the boys in the basketball team, she was surprised when she found out that he had talked to her. Philip was the most popular boy and she was convinced he didn't even know her name. She rang him and asked what had happened and how she got hurt, his answer surprised her: "We were in the gym. I asked you if you wanted to be my partner for the science fair, then as I was going to shoot some hoops, I heard a loud thud. I turned around and saw you lying on the ground. I tried to wake you up, but your pulse was slowing down, so I called the ambulance."

His answer didn't quite please her, there was no reason for her to just fall. She asked her parents to go to the school and watch the footage from the CTV's.

Turns out, Philip was saying the truth, but just what he saw. A ball came flying towards the girl as the boy turned around, she lost her balance and fell, hitting her head. Philip tried to wake her up, but it was all in vain, so he called the ambulance.

But who would hit Selena?

She was invisible and had no bad blood with anyone. 

She returned to school the next day, scared that the attacker would do something again. Nobody came up to her, other than Philip. She told him she'd almost finished their project, to which the boy said "Oh, I was hoping we could work on it together.... Maybe we could meet up today after school and I could help you finish it?". 

"Sure! It would be great!"
"Okay, your last class is history? I'll come to pick you up so we could do it at the cafe."

The boy left and a prealgebra textbook came flying at her, thankfully it missed. The girl was sure it wasn't an accident now! She ran to the headteacher's office and asked to see the footage of the corridor. She saw that it was Elijah, one of Philip's teammates and the basketball captain, but why would he want to hurt her. The headteacher called Selena's parents, Elijah and his parents and Philip to her office. 

Elijah was embarrassed, Philip confused and the parents were speechless. 

When he was asked why he did it, Elijah answered that "Whenever Philip meets a girl, it gets him so unfocused and it hurts the team. He is our best player and my scholarship to collage depends on not only my performance in the games, but also on the team's performance. I figured if I could subtract Selena from the equation just until the big match... he'd be more focused. I'm sorry."

The girl was speechless, was Philip really in love with her? Philip felt betrayed. 

Elijah got off easy, suspended until the game.

After her parents left, the girl went up to Philip. She wasn't sure what she wanted to say but the words would flow if she stood in front of him. She liked him. She thought she didn't have a chance, but she did!

"It's all true. I like you. That's why I asked you if you wanted to be my partner for the science fair... so I could spend some time with you... I understand if you don't want to be my partner anymore."

The girl said "What if I want to be your partner?"

"Then, we could go and work on the project at the cafe and talk about stuff."
