Bloody Blood

Biology Practical class has just became interesting when it involves the bloody blood.

i volunteered myself to prick my finger/s to do experiment on haemolysis, crenation and stuff. Bold.

it took me so long to summon the courage to do so because i fear of the pain that it would bring about. Oh well, it wasn't that bad though i let out a cried because it was a "zap". i mean it's like happening in just a split second that shocked me that my response was to let out an "ouch". Then, i discovered that i've succumbed to one unknown disease. i was short of blood. there's like nothing coming out from my finger and it's frustrating. i tried another hand, another finger. Nil. The other students were like having the bloody blood dripping from their fingers like the waterfall. The flow was constant. The reddish blood was thick, rusty and good. i was so frustrated with myself for not having enough supply of blood and i think that my blood circulation is severely disordered.

Then, my classmate, a boy, you know, boy, with the extra Y chromosomes, almost collapsed/faint during the practical classes. it happened in front of my very eyes. i wanted to help the teacher to carry him because teacher was struggling to held him but i just stood rooted to the ground. A lot of things were jostling inside my mind. i was considering about the do and don't in Islamic practice, that's, it's sort of "illegal" for a girl to touch a boy or vice versa. The teacher was calling for the boys back at the laboratory who were idly wandering around or sort to come forward to help him. They were like oblivious to what's happening around, so blur, so numb, so slow. The next minute they realised the real grave situation, they could still dawdle forwards and carried the boy with so much of grace. i was agape in astonishment for like 2-3 minutes.
Later, i found out that he wasn't afraid of blood, he wasn't haemophobia. He skipped his lunch and breakfast and yet still volunteer to "donate" his blood for the sake of the experiment. He was just too weak, vulnerable.

Later, i also found out that it wasn't illegal to touch the opposite gender if the intention is good.
i should have just lend out a helping hand. Felt totally helpless the whole astonishing-moments.
i'm totally eager to carry out Blood Test for the next experiment which would probably be conducted in the next semester.
