I feel like everything has gone back to the way it was prior to eight weeks ago, when I lost my virginity to the school's, probably only, male slut, Jason. Then turned his head has if I never existed and the experience was all my imagination. Xavier also hadn't really paid me any attention either after that day he helped me and dropped me off at work.

Xavier wouldn't exactly ignore, but he wouldn't outright come up to me and strike a conversation either. If we passed by each other in the halls, he would glance my way and maybe do that head nod guys do, to acknowledge my presence. It was also very subtle, probably so whatever girl he had his arm draped over would notice. I was okay with that, it's not like I was trying to seek him out to my new BFF; but I also couldn't help to notice something there between us. I was probably looking too much into it and taking his kindness more than I should.

Today, though, seemed a little off for me. Walking to third period, I walked past a hallway and saw Xavier next to his buddy, while some chic in all black, goth fit, was sucking on his neck and groping his groin. I couldn't help but stare and feel grossed out? Disgusted? Jealous? I didn't even like Xavier like that. I mean he is hot, on so many levels, that makes me want to drag my nails down his toned stomach and lick every part of his... What is wrong with me. I quickly shake my head and finally land on grossed out, as the thought of this nasty girl all over him made want to vomit...as in literally. Next thing I know, my head is hovering over the nasty high school toilets, spewing one breakfast I didn't get this morning.

Just the thought of breakfast, that I clearly did not get to have this morning, has me hurling my head into the toilet again. The bell signaling the start of third period goes off at the same time my phone pings, notifying me of a text. I pull it out to see May is messaging me.

    May: Where are u?

    Me: Feeling sick. Puking my guts out *adding the vomiting emoji*

    May: What the hell, u seemed fine earlier this morning. Are u going to make it to 3rd?

    Me: IDK! I might try to make my way to the nurse's office n rest for a bit. If that doesn't work, I may leave for the day.

    May: LMK so I don't sit here worrying about u...n so I know if I need to go get sanitized, so I don't catch what u have. LOL! Love u babe!

    Me: I will. Love u 2

After putting my phone away, I noticed my stomach did feel okay enough for me to make to the office. I hope it was something I just ate maybe last night. Doug, my boss at the diner, said I was looking a little pale last night, and figured I was just hungry from not stopping when the evening crowd came in. So, he made me a chicken sandwich with some fries and a milk shake. I ended up only eating half the sandwich, none of the fries, and a little bit of the shake before feeling sick.

I am starting to think I may have the flu. When I walk into the office, the nurse already knew why I was there, as I am assuming it's written on my face. She led me to the back and had me lay down while she took my temperature. No fever, as the thermometer read 98.2 degrees. Margo, the nurse, proceeded to ask me a series of questions, probably to rule out whether I would be contagious to have to send me home.

"Have you had a cough or sore throat?" Margo started.

"No."

"How long have you been throwing up?"

"Just this recently." I stated, still thinking that over, wondering if feeling nauseous would still count even though I didn't really throw up.

"Any headaches or dizziness?"

Thinking about it, I have been having frequent headaches outside the "punishment" headaches. "Yes, the last couple of days, actually. I've been feeling really tired too, and finding hard to concentrate."
