I woke up the next morning feeling an extreme headache and sore throat.
I squint my eyes at the window trying to lower the amount of sun rays coming into my face.
"MOM!!" I yell with raspy voice.
After few seconds, she marshes in with her work clothes on.
"What happened?" dad's head pops into the view.
"Code green." I smash a pillow into my face.
You see, code green is when some of us isn't feeling good.
We scream code red when we see a boy in our house or 3 meters in front of our house.
That's mostly Natalie's fanboys.
"Oh my God." mom facepalms herself.
"Sage, you have terrible immune system. This is the third time in a month that you've been sick." dad crosses his arms.
"Whatever, I'm going to work, you can handle yourself." mom leaves the room.
I look at dad and give him a guilty smile
"I have a client." he shrugs.
"I'm sorry sweet pea, but your mom's right."
"You need to start treating yourself when you're sick." he says.
"So I don't go to school?" I smile.
He shakes his head laughing and exits the room after giving me a forehead kiss.
I sigh putting my hands behind my head.
This is gonna be a good day.
I'mma just hope that sickness doesn't get worse.
Until then, I'll count some sheep.
Then, I drift off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~
I scrunch my nose as I feel someone pinch my nose.
"Wake up, loser."
I groan in respond and roll to the other side of the bed.
But then I quickly open my eyes at the sound of unfamiliar voice.
I turn around again to see Gigi looking at me tiredly.
"I brought you drugs." she lifts the pharmacy bag and smiles.
Someone changes their face expressions quickly.
"Candy sent me since everyone's at school and I'm ditching." she sits on my desk chair.
"Ditching?" I say again in a raspy voice.
"Bro, your voice is...kinda sexy." she smirks.
"No homo."
She manages to make me chuckle, so I stand up sitting.
"Thanks. For that." I point to the bag.
"Oh, no probs." she stands up and pats my shoulder.
"I gotta go play some pooltable shit."
"Yea, okay." I say.
