I felt how hard my butt got hittet when I suddenly got weak and fell on the floor. Devon looked down at me, and immediately moved away his hands from the wall that had surrounding me, making me unable to escape. He grabbed my arms and looked at me. I stared into the thin air and I felt how drowsy my eyes looked.

"Are you okay?" he asked and his eyes was deep, and I could tell what he was saying just by looking into his eyes. Then I came back to reality and stood up. Why do I always get into these embarrassing situations with Devon?! He looked up at me and I looked back with an embarrassed expression.

"I'm fine." I squeled like a little mouse, scared of the cat. His eyes got smaller and he could tell that I wasn't fine. When I had the thought of if I really am okay I felt the heaviness in my body that I had ignored because of the embarrassing situation. I tried smiling to lure him into the hole I digged to have a chance to escape. Of course he didn't fall into that obvious trap.

"Don't try to trick me Chantelle, I've known you for years." he smiled back. Though I didn't understand why he smiled. Until that.

"You have a big obvious fever." he laughed. Fever? I thought he figured out that I am in love with him. He blames fever? Thank god. I finally relaxed until he did that.

"You have to go to the nurses office." And then he carried me. I mean bridecarry. Or princesscarry, whtever. It was just out of the blue and I even made an awkward sound when I got surprised the moment he swoop his muscly arms round my knees. And then lifted me up.

"D-Devon!" I screamed and almost fell of, forcing myself to tug on his shirt to not fall off his grip. I even had to bury my face in his chest and he just walked as if I weigh nothing. I sucked in his smell and could smell the same fragrence of the cologne that he used the other day. Then I felt myself blushing again. And pounding heart. Typical me.

He let me down in one of the infirmary's beds and spoke to the nurse.

"I think she might have a fever." he said and still taking some glances of me so that I wouldn't run off saying that I am fine as I always do.

The nurse took a feverchecker and put it into my ear. She pushed a button that let out a sound. After a while it beeped and she looked at the results.

"39°C" she confirmed. Wait. I have a Real fever? "You better head home." she told me, writing a letter to mr. madry and gave it to me so that he won't think that I skipped class.

"I'll walk her home." Devon suggested. The nurse agreed.

"Good, Devon. With such a high fever she might even faint-" she said, pulling out her glasses. I've already done that, I thought. "-so take her home safely." she continued. No... I don't want Devon with me. Then I thought about it. Why? "Because you're in love with him?" the second-mode asked sarcastically. No, I have no reason. All those love signs weren't love signs. It was the fever's caus.

Gosh, just tell me how relieved I am. I had just reached my house when Devon dropped me off, after the long silence between us the whole way. I smiled and thanked him for his kindness.

"Don't do the second-mode while I'm around." he smiled. "The polite you creep me out." I hit him when he said that and he laughed.

After I took a shower I whirled in my hair in my towel, so that it wouldn't drip water everywhere on my room. I laid myself on my big bed and sighed out of relief.

I am not in love with Devon.
