sara nicks never in a million years thought she would be part of that cliche where she fell in love with someone, who turned out to be her teacher. gwendolyn james has a dark past, and seems like the most unfriendly person ever. but will that change...
everything happened so fast. glass breaking drew gwens and my attention to the entrance of the venue, where we saw a very shocked rhiannon. then suddenly gwen was hurling her guts out into the grass. i tried to comfort her while she lost her food. eventually we turned back around, only to find that rhi was long gone.
it was now the day after prom, and i woke up at gwens house. i vaguely remember calling rhi multiple times last night, before taking gwen back to her house and caring for her while she had a fever. i did drink a little last night, which would explain the haze im in right now. rhi never answered any of my calls or texts, which was concerning, but not as concerning as the 102 fever that gwen had. i'm assuming she has the flu, which means i'll definitely get it, but that's an issue i'll deal with later.
i rubbed my tired eyes and took in my surroundings. i was asleep on gwens bed, but i was on top of the covers with my phone in my hand. i slowly sat up and began to look for gwen. i didn't have to look far because a cough suddenly came from the bathroom. i went over to the bathroom and found poor gwen lying on the floor in the most uncomfortable position ever.
"hey. how do you feel?" i asked her. she opened her eyes once she heard me and slightly smiled.
"like shit" she answered as she sat up. "i never get sick, but when i do it hits me like a truck." i nodded as i moved to the floor next to her and gently gathered her hair into a ponytail, just in case she got sick again. "you'll probably get sick too" she groaned and put her head in her hands.
"i don't care about that, all i care about right now is you" i said, placing my hands on her knees. she moved her head from her hands and looked at me.
"i love you so much" she said quietly. i smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
"i love you too barf breath" i teased. she rolled her eyes and smiled a little. suddenly her expression went serious.
"what about rhiannon? what if she tells someone?"
"i'm not worried about her. she just needs time to process it, and she's smart enough to know that telling someone would get us both in deep shit." gwen just nodded. suddenly she moved back over to the toilet and got sick yet again. i sighed and lovingly stroked her back.
THE NEXT DAY
today was the first day back at school after prom. i still hadn't been able to get a hold of rhi, but i was planning on cornering her at school today. i grudgingly got dressed in a simple back tube top and one of my many floral skirts, and a cardigan.

after i added a multitude of necklaces, i went outside to see if rhi would be picking me up today. i felt a little off, i was a little colder than usual and my stomach felt funny, but i just ignored it. my mom stopped me at the door before i could escape.
