Sick.

The room seemed to spin, my head seemed heavy, my eyes sore. I have come down with a cold--intentionally. I wanted to skip school and escape the countless worksheets and boring teacher talks-- but I didn't know my plan would be this miserable! Sitting in front of the fan after a cold, cold shower and falling a little sick was all I had in mind!

I shivered under the many layers of blankets Mom had put for me as she took my temperature. It was near dinner and I could hear the kids outside playing from the open window--that displayed the warmth of the outdoors-- in my now seemingly dull and freezing room.

"Well that's pretty high," she said reaching foreward to feel my scorching forehead.

Her touch made goose bumps run down my spine, I shivered again and snuggled deeper into the sheets. Why is it so warm outside, when I'm cold?

" Thank goodness your Dad's passing the pharmacy," she continued as she went to the bathroom to wash the thermometre," he'll get you some medicine."

I groaned at the shivers and dizziness from my fever.

"You better not get sick again," my Mom said keeping the thermometre back into its case,"you don't want to suffer this much pain, do you?"

No, never again, I thought as I turned to the side and fell asleep.
