"Hey there! Jay!?" a voice woke me, Rhys's voice. "Come on mate, we've gotta go,"

"Go where?" I mumbled

"Breakfast..."

"But it's cosy in here" I replied, "cosy, warm and comfy"

"I know it is but you've gotta get out of bed," he said gently, "might as well be now, then you can have breakfast"

"M not hungry"

"Do I have to drag you out of bed again?" he suggested

"Go on..." I replied not thinking about how last time ended

"Alright then, remember you asked for it" he mirrored last time

"Noooooooo, it's coooollldddd, brrrrr," I said grumpily, finally opening my eyes and giving him a death stare.

"Come on! We're gonna miss brekkie!" he urged,

"Ok, ok, I'll be a minute," I replied before sighing and getting ready.

We rushed to make it to the cafeteria before it closed, we got there just in time.

"If you'd have made me miss my breakfast I would have been very angry," Rhys joked as we approached our table.

"Hey guys" I greeted sitting beside Kay who was happily munching on his cereal.

"Hey," they all greeted back

We all scoffed our breakfasts before going to our first lessons of the day, Rhys, Kay and I all had german.

<<<<< >>>>>

I tuned out our german teacher's voice and focused on drawing a fox, I don't know why I chose a fox it just appealed to me. After a while when I was happy with the shape I began to plan out where the markings would go.

"Yo, that's amazing Jay, how'd ya do that?" Rhys asked

"It's not that great, it's just a random drawing" I responded blushing from the compliment

"Hey, it kinda looks like me when I'm a fox!" he replied eagerly

"It looks like a normal fox..."

"Yeah, like me!" I shook my head at his comment, "If you're drawing me, I'm gonna draw you!"

I sighed and carried on with my drawing - of Rhys apparently - whilst he started his. Around 10 minutes later of ignoring our teacher and Rhys exclaimed, "I'm done!" just quiet enough that the teacher didn't hear though.

"I am too," I replied, I suddenly became dizzy and immediately asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. I walked out into the hall, staggering slightly and leant onto the wall whilst making my way towards the toilets. The dizziness suddenly became worse and I slid down the wall sitting down and clutching my head, breathing deeply. It became all too much and I passed out from the dull pain and the dizziness combined

<<<<< >>>>>

I awoke, not opening my eyes, and felt something warm on my hand again. Woah, deja vu... I slowly opened my eyes and looked towards my left - where the warmth was - I saw Rhys sitting there, holding my hand.

"Hey," he greeted gently, "how're you feeling?"

I was suddenly aware of my pounding headache and slight dizziness, luckily the dizziness wasn't as bad as before, "I'm fine" I lied
