The Year We Lived On

School Days- Skye

  P.E was my least favorite subject by far. We got our gym times and they were the same. It was right after lunch. I bet they do this on purpose. Some people will throw up chunks if they exercise right after eating.

  "It stinks in here," Kimberly announced as the horrible smell of the gym filled our noses.

  We all nodded in agreement. It really did stink.

  The gym teachers made us exercise, and it was the most exercise that I've done since summer started. A bubbling sensation in my stomach intensified as we started doing jumping jacks. The room started to spin and gradually grew darker.

  I woke up sometime later in what I assumed to be the nurse's office. The glaringly white walls were a tell tale sign. Kimberly was arguing with the nurse (like usual).

  "We're not gonna leave because it is very important that all of us are here when she wakes up."

  "Please calm down, miss." The nurse tried to reason with Kimberly, but it was in vain.

  "I am calm." Kimberly turned towards the nurse slowly. A shiver went down our spines.

  Emily was over with another nurse explaining what happened.

  "IF that's the case, then Skye is alright. She is allergic to coconut milk somehow, and started having a seizure which would explain foaming at the mouth." Wow, just talk about me like I'm not even here. Time to grab their attention. After a few moments of pain in my stomach, I was propped up on twelve different pillows.

  "Pst, Shiori, Kimberly?" I croaked out. Shiori turned to me right away and gave me a bear hug. "Water, now," I demanded.

  Emily jumped up onto my cot, kneeing me in the stomach. "Don't die on me," she said sternly.

  "Geesh, I'm fine and ALIVE. Stupid, cheap coconut milk. I'll kill it."

  Emily and Shiori had to ruin the moment. "Coconut is pretty expensive, ya know."

   Emily laughed and said, "You want to kill everything."

  "You guys haven't changed in the hour I've been passed out."

  We soon went onto the bus. "I feel like a celebrity," I told Shiori. She nodded in response. The news of me passing out had spread like wild fire and people who wouldn't normally give me a second glance were asking me if I were okay.

  "You know the rug in the nurse's office, Skye?" Kimberly asked. I nodded in reply, wondering where she was going with this. "It's the closest you'll ever get to a red carpet."

  "Well, I can dream. Can't I? Don't answer that."

We got our gym times and of course Shiori complained. "I'm just saying they really shouldn't put gym after lunch right!" Emily began to reply but just kept letting her complain. "I mean do they realize that the gym will smell worse than it already does."

As soon as we got there we had to do the most exercise I had ever done in my entire life. Somewhere along the jumping jacks I felt a bubbling sensation in my stomach. The room started to spin and I tried to keep my eyes open but the room got darker and darker. Soon I felt like I was floating, then I felt sick. After That I blacked out and woke up in the nurse's office to the sound of Kimberly arguing with the nurse saying, "IT IS TOTALLY NECESSARY THAT WE'RE ALL HERE WHEN SHE WAKES UP, AND NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!!!" Then I look over to see Emily calmly explaining to the paramedics "I'll tell one last time , She drank six milkshakes, did some jumping jacks then passed out and started foaming milkshakes and shaking." I sit up and feel like I could puke again, there was no trash can around at the time so I tried to call out but my voice seemed feeble and small. "Guys.... Shiori.....Kimberlyyyyy." then I feel like I can't sit up and the room goes black again. "DON'T DIE!!!!" Shiori screams as she jumps on the cot kneeing me in the stomach. "I'm fine, I'm fine, Wait what even happened!?" Kimberly looks over to me and says calmly "You drank six vanilla milkshakes at lunch and passed out in gym, and after a while the paramedics found out you're allergic to the coconut milk in the shake." "Stupid cheap coconut milk, I'll kill it!!!" "You want to kill everything" Replies Emily and they start to argue again. "Well at least none of you changed while I was gone."

The rest of the day passed in a blur. When we got on the bus a million people asked if I was okay. Half of them I didn't even know. "I feel like a celebrity." I say to Kimberly and she quickly replies with, "you know the red rug in the nurse's office?" "Yeah." "That's as close to a red carpet you'll ever get to" "I CAN DREAM!!!!" My mom will nearly die when she finds out I passed out.
