Chapter : 6 : Poor Heather..

-Veronica's POV-

Dear Diary,
  
   I'm worried for Heather Chandler, she's been acting strange since this morning. She's always somehow stumbling, or tripping. Every time I try to ask what's up with her, she would say something like, "Don't touch me!" or "I'm fine, Sawyer!" geez.. I'm just trying to help, but whatever. I'm writing this in the nurse's office. I need to go.

--------------------

"Heather, why aren't you eating?"

Chandler glares at me with her.. Is it just me? Or is her face redder than usual?..

"A-are you sick?.."

"No! And I'm not going to eat cause, I feel like it!"

"But that's bad for you! You should at least eat!"

Chandler grunts and looks away from me. Is she sulking? You gotta be kidding me.. I sigh in defeat and continued to eat my lunch while Mcnamara and Duke came by and sat down with us.

"There's a party at Ram's house next week."

Pretty straightforward, but okay. Duke announces the both of us while Mcnamara eats her lunch. I glance to take a look at Chandler who simply scrolls through her phone as she wobbles back and forth.

Why is she wobbling like that? What's up with her? I touch her forehead to check her temperature and it was surprisingly hot.

"Heather, are you sure you're okay!?"

"Don't touch me!"

She swats my hand away from her forehead and crosses her arms together, signaling that she's mad.

"Heather, I think we need to-"

"I'm fine, Sawyer!"

She stands up and walks off to, god knows where! Maybe.. I should eat my lunch first before I go and look for her.. I hope that didn't sound like I don't care about my friend or anything..

I quickly eat my lunch, almost forgetting that Duke and Mcnamara exists.

"Now, now, why so worried about your girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?"

Girlfriend? Oh! She must've meant a friend who's a girl!

"No, no, you've got it all wrong, girlfriend is actually another word for a female significant other. Now, I need to look for Heather to see if she's okay."

I walk off to the direction where Chandler went and start to look for her. I see a glimpse of something red, turn a corner and I follow the person.

I was relieved to see Chandler stumbling as she walked.

"Heather, there you are!"

Chandler turns her head to me with little glitters in her eyes, I walk towards her as she gazes into space.

"Hello? Earth to Chandler?"

Chandler blinks twice with a hint of confusion in her eyes and.. Recognition?.. Her eyes start to water and so I panic. I frantically look left to right to find noone.

"H-Heather!?.."

"You're so a-annoying!"

What? She's crying at my annoyance? She slips when she starts to back away and fell to her back- oof.. That must've hurt... I kneel down to take a good look at her.

"Are you okay?"

She rubs her eyes and wipes the tears that came out of her eyes.

"Why are you even crying, Heather?.."
