Acne

NEWT POV:

Thomas has been acting weird. I know zombies have this mating season thing. It's just where they are more horny. There is only a baby if you both agree to that. So zombie condoms are mostly to keep the sheets clean and flavor. If you get the flavor condoms. But that is in Feburary. I know, how predictable. But I'm not sure why Thomas is acting weird. He is more worried and wants me to rest. He took me to the doctor but there was nothing wrong with me. Thomas didn't believe them and let's just say he was banded from that human hospital. Now Thomas just wants me to rest. He also gave me a oatmeal bath. He keeps checking my temperature and throat but they are both normal. We spend a lot of time cuddling. Which I don't mind. Thomas walked threw the halls of school confused. "What" I asked. "I see where you got chicken pox from but I don't understand why people are letting their infected kids be in school" said Thomas. I looked around confused. Being 14 means you at at the age where acne usually starts.

Wait, did Thomas confuse acne for chicken pox? "Thomas I think that's just acne" I said. Thomas stopped walking. I stopped and turned to him. "But, you have tiny red bumps and scabs on you face" said Thomas. "It's just acne. It's harmless. And they are only scabs because I squeeze them and sometimes it's harder to get the gunk out so it bleeds" I said. I leaned closer to whisper. "Don't zombies have that" I whispered. "No, what is acne" asked Thomas. We started walking to class and I give Thomas a lecture for what I know. "Basically it's this gunk that gets stuck in your acne pores. Most people or basically the lucky bastards believe it's as simple as washing your face. It's not, some of us are just unlucky and nothing works. But it might become less active as we age" I said. "Oh, then that might explain why zombies don't have it. Our pores are filled with mold. Sometimes the doctors would say acne and sweat pores but I never knew the difference" said Thomas. "It's okay Tommy, I understand that you probably didn't go threw it as a human" I said.

"Ya, but there is one thing I want to try" said Thomas. "What is it" I asked. "Well, I also heard from doctors that we don't get acne because of the mold. Even if there was room for the gunk in the pores the mold would eat it" said Thomas. He took me to the bathroom. It was empty. "Just stay still" said Thomas. He put his hands on my cheeks. The mold started eating the acne. I could feel it pop the pimple and then enter the pimple. It feels so weird. The mold finished and stopped. Thomas removed his hands and I looked in the mirror. There was no longer acne of my cheeks. "Well, I might have finally found something that works" I said. I turned back to Thomas. "But this isn't going to affect my skin by making me peel or anything is it" I asked. "No, the mold will only remove the acne. And might leave your skin slightly softer" said Thomas. He put his hand on my forehead and then all over the rest of my face till my acne was gone. "Thanks" I said. "No problem" said Thomas. He hugged me and I could tell he was crying. "I am glad it's not chicken pox. I was worried you would die" said Thomas. I smiled and rubbed his back. "Not yet Tommy. I won't die till we are both old. Then we will be buried together" I said.
