The next morning, I woke up at 7 AM. I checked up on Catherine because of how drunk she was, the last night. She was still asleep. Usually, she wakes up before me.
I placed my hand on her forehead. She felt hot. I checked her pulse. She was suffering from fever.
The only thing that came to my mind was to not wake her up for the school and let her sleep.
I got ready to leave. While I was leaving, I took out a medicine to cure fever and placed it on the study table with a note.
Eat it when you are awake.
Don't forget to brush your teeth before having this. Lol.
Love you!
And, thank me later ;)
Bye!
And then, I left for my classes.
As I entered the Mathematics class, I saw Josh.
"Hey man." I greeted him, sitting beside him.
"Hi, May! Wait, where's your best friend?" He asked.
"She isn't well. Fever. I let her sleep." I replied.
"Fever? How did this happen?" He asked.
"Nothing severe. Just a common flu." I replied. Or rather say, I lied. Well, I was up with zero confidence to tell him that yeah, his dear friend was insanely drunk last night!
The entire class passed as usual, or rather say, all the classes.
Yes, when we went to our Chemistry class, the teacher did ask about Catherine. Well, I lied again.
*****
After the classes were over, Josh, I and Chris went to the Vale. Of course, I didn't forget about Catherine. I just thought that I should give her some time to recover from yesterday's hangover and not disturb her.
Chris asked me the same question Josh had asked. And yes, I lied to him as well.
Technically, I did not completely lie. Well, Catherine was suffering from fever. Just the reason behind it was not true. But, I can do anything to keep my best friend's impression good.
It was around 5 PM when we went back to our rooms.
As I was walking towards the door, I was imagining Catherine all well. And as I'll open the door, she'll come and hug me and say a thank you because I wrote on the note, 'Thank me later'.
As I opened the door, I found no one.
She must be inside the washroom. I said to myself.
I walked and knocked the washroom's door.
"Catherine?!" I called out.
No reply.
"You there? Stop playing hide and seek. You aren't well. Or, are you? Are you feeling better now?" I said.
No reply.
"Hey? Cathy?"
No reply.
