3rd POV:

"If you say so." Devon said as he took his stuff out, placing it on the table. He checked the time to see how much time they had left until students gathered up in the classroom and until the lesson began. It was 8:58, students usually showed up around 9:05 since the lesson began at 9:10. Devon turned around to face Jake again, Jake still dying. "You sure you're not sick?" Devon asked Jake as he placed a hand on Jakes shoulder, totally not helping Jake at all. "Do you need to go to the nurses office?" Devon continued, with a worried tone. "I swear, I'm fine!" Jake quickly said. "You know," Devon began, turning Jakes head to face him. "if you have something on your mind, you can talk to me." Devon said softly, making Jake relax. "Y-Yeah.." Jake mumbled. "Also, you're hot." Devon said placing a hand on Jakes forehead. "Wa-wait, what?!" Jake freaked out, pulling himself away from Devon, almost falling of the chair. "...Not like that!" Devon got embarrassed and slammed his head on the table. Devon sighed as he raised his head up from the table and turning again to face Jake. "You have a fever, we need to take you to the nurses office." Devon said grabbing Jakes hand and got up then pulled Jake up from his seat. "Wh— Hey! I said I'm fine!" Devon ignored the boy and dragged him out the classroom, heading towards the nurses office.

Devon opened the door to the nurses office and dragged Jake inside. "What happened?" The nurse asked as she walked towards the two boys. "My friend doesn't feel well." Devon told the nurse. The word 'friend' kept repeating in Jakes mind, making him heat up even more. 'He considers me as a friend?!' Jake thought to himself, completely ignoring what was happening to him at the moment. The nurse placed a hand on Jakes forehead. "Dear god, you're burning!" The nurse exclaimed. "Come here sweetie." She said as she went next to one of the beds. Jake still ignoring what was happening. "Jake!" Devon pinched Jake. "Wh-what?" Jake returned to the real world again, confused on what was happening. "Go sit on that bed." Devon pointed to the bed the nurse was standing next to. Jake stood there embarrassed but Devon grabbed Jakes hand and pulled him to the bed. Jake sat on the bed and looked at the floor. The nurse went to a closet and grabbed some pills for fever. "Does your head hurt?" The nurse asked looking at him. "Kinda.." Jake mumbled quietly. "He said yes." Devon told the nurse, the nurse nodded and returned to the two boys. She handed Jake two pills and a glass of water. "Take these, if you feel worst please call your parents to pick you up." She said before she went back to her desk.

Jake waited for both of them to not look at him and when that happened he hid the two pills and drank some water, as if he had took them. "I took them, can I go now?" Jake asked, getting Devons attention again. "Not until your okay." Devon said only making Jake sigh. "Well you can go." Jake said, knowing that if Devon wouldn't leave neither would he cool down. "Not until you feel better" Devon answered. Jake is doomed. "Maybe you should take a nap." Devon told Jake. "I'm not tired tho." Jake said, obviously he lied. "To bad, you are going to sleep," Devon spoke as he sat up and pulled the blanket over Jake. That making things even more hard for Jake. The boy under the blanket sighed, he had no other option then to give in. "Fine, you got me. I'm sick and I am tired." Devon sat back down and spoke up. "Knew it, now rest." Jake nodded softly and closed his eyes. The nurse had left to the bathroom.

After a few minutes he felt himself cooldown and opened his eyes, slowly raising up from the bed. "Jake, you didn't even sleep for 6 minutes." Devon said getting up and shoving Jake back down. "Hey! I feel better—" Jake said pushing Devon a little. Devon lost balance and tripped, falling over. Jake jumped out of bed and went to help Devon. He crouched down and panicked. "Are you okay!? I'm sorry, I didn't to push you! Oh god, are you bleeding?!" Devon remains silent and raised a hand up. Jake noticed and backed up a bit. Devon had placed his hand on Jakes forehead. "I suppose it's okay." Devon said getting up and then helping Jake up. Jake started heating again but took Devons hand and raised himself up. "You should go home tho." Devon said. Jake nodded.
