Just fluff, thats all <3333333

Penelope Park doesn't do sick.

She does not get stuffy noses or cough or throw up. It's counter productive and a waste of her time, so she doesn't do it. Not to mention it's gross.

Last night she walked Pedro to his room after dinner, and according to an e-mail from Emma he woke up sick today. But Penelope is fine, she doesn't get sick, not since she was like five and her mom babied her. That's another thing, she doesn't like being babied. Maybe it's the mommy issues.

So sure, she's a little more drowsy than usual when she wakes up, but she's fine.

When she stands up her knees buckle and she ends up right back on the side of her bed. She sits on the edge for an extra second or two and waits for her room to stop spinning and then she gets up to get dressed.

It must be freezing outside, because her arms break out into goosebumps when she gets out of bed, and a shiver runs up her spine.

Penelope has a reputation to uphold though, she doesn't miss class ever, so she pulls her usual white button up on and makes her way to breakfast.

She realizes she's walking too fast when the stairs start spinning underneath her, and her hand shoots out to cling to the railing. She swallows, takes a steadying breath, and then walks down the rest of the stairs to meet Josie for breakfast.

"Morning JoJo" she presses a kiss to Josie's cheek as she settles next to her, and ignores whatever nickname Lizzie shot at her this morning.

Josie notices her appearance, though, already feeling the heat radiating off of her, "You're really hot babe, do you feel okay?"

"I'm always hot and I feel just fine." Penelope smirks, but it's half baked and Josie isn't amused.

"Pen, you look messy and we all know you don't do messy. Plus I can tell you're lying." Josie pulls her hair out of her collar and tugs at it so it's straightened, reaching out to feel her forehead as an afterthought. Penelope grabs at her hands and pushes them away, reaching for Josie's plate instead.

Josie watches her carefully and shoots a look at Lizzie, who raises her eyebrows in agreement. Penelope only takes two bites of food, and Lizzie comments.

"Loss of appetite..I didn't know the devil could get sick."

Penelope scowls, looking to Lizzie with narrowed eyes. "Shut-" she cuts herself off with a cough and clears her throat, "Shut up Saltzman." she finishes, and Lizzie is smirking at her when she looks back up.

"Very believable."

Penelope fends off Josie's babying through out breakfast, but by the time it's over Josie is fed up and it's obvious that Penelope is under the weather.

Josie keeps an eye on Penelope all day, knowing her stubborn girlfriend will never say she's actually sick but she most certainly is. Penelope's hands are clammy, her coughing is disrupting most of her classes, and she looks utterly disheveled. It's also clear Penelope is hating every minute of it, and Josie frowns as Penelope continues to shove off her efforts to help.

When she finally has a class with her before lunch, Penelope looks even worse than this morning. She has dark bags under her eyes, and she's wiping at her nose and sniffling when she steps in the classroom.

Josie tugs her into the seat next to her by her sleeve, and finds a tissue to wipe at Penelope's face.

"Stop it, Josie" she mumbles, pushing her hands away again, huffing as she wipes at her eyes.
