Sick Day

Ch. 17
When I woke it was 5:30 my mom would be getting up for work soon and my sister would be going to school.

I realized that Noah was sitting on my bed waiting for me to wake up.

"Noah," I said sleepily. "You have to leave, my mom and sister are going to be awake soon."

"But we're suppose to be staying home together today." He said with a sad face.

"I know, we are. But my mom can't see you here. Make me look sick, I'll go downstairs and tell my mom I don't feel well after." I said quickly.

"Okay, where's the thermometer?" He asked.

"Here." I said shoving it into his hand.

He went into the bathroom in my room and ran hot water. He grabbed a cup and filled it with hot water.
I laid in my bed and pretended to look sick. He brought out the thermometer and water and dipped the thermometer in the water and shoved it in my mouth. Then he hid under the bed.

"Mom!!" I yelled.

"Shailey!! What do you need?!?" She screamed and came walking from her room.

"I can't go to school today. I'm sick." I said.

"Fine whatever." She said not caring and walked out of my room and slammed the door.

"Yes!" I said.

"Now we can do what we want when she leaves." Said Noah.
"Wanna go to a restaurant?" I asked Noah.

"Sure! As long as you pay. I don't have any money, or any other clothes." He said laughing.

"Oh. That's a problem. Maybe you could try some of my clothes?" I said.

"Oh right. Like I'm going to wear girl clothes." He said laughing again.

"C'mon, follow me." I said.

I walked into my huge walk-in closet. I went into a box that said "DADDY" on it. In that box were my dad's clothes.

"What's this box for?" Asked Noah bending down.

"These are my dads old clothes." I said. "I kept them so I could remember him."

"If it's not rude, what happened to your dad?"

"He died in the army when I was 10. All I know was he was my best friend." I said starting to cry.

"If you don't want me to wear them, I won't." Said Noah.

"No, no it's fine. You're special so you can wear them." I said.

A while later at about 9 I started getting hungry. I went downstairs with Noah, who was wearing my dads clothes, and made some breakfast.

"You're house is really nice." Said Noah gazing around.

"Thanks!" I said. I realized I was still in my pajamas and went upstairs to change.

"Wait here. I'll be back. I just got to change my clothes." I said walking upstairs.

"Okay." He said shoving eggs into his mouth.

I changed into my black and white stripe long sleeve shirt. (All of my shirts were long sleeve.) I put on some blue jeans and converse and put my hair in a side braid.

I walked downstairs and sat next to Noah at the island. I looked at Noah's plate and saw 1 piece of bacon left. I grabbed it and shoved it into my mouth.

"Hey!" He said. "I was going to eat that!"

"Well, I ate it first. Haha!" I said getting up and going into the living room.
He put his plate and fork in the sink and came and sat by me on the couch. I turned on the tv.

"What do you wanna watch?" I said.

"It doesn't matter to me." He said putting his feet on the coffee table.

"Okay. I'm going to put in my favorite movie." I said crawling to the DVD player.

"What's your favorite movie?" He asked me.
"You'll see." I said taking out the DVD and putting it in the player.
I crawled back to the couch and pressed play.
