Game Set Match

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ꜰᴏʀᴛʏ ꜱɪx

I walked out of the classroom and held my books. I could feel my nose getting stuffed up again and it doesn't feel good. I guess my cold is coming back but it is worse than before and I really hate it.

I took out my tissues and rubbed my nose as I started sneezing again. Ugh this is really bad. I killed the diva assignment but I'm going back to having the flu. I opened my tissue pack and saw it was empty, I let out a sigh and walked down the hallway as I saw Blaine is also getting sick again. I guess this diva week assignment has a curse.

I kept walking to my locker, and once I got there I opened it. I couldn't stop sneezing and I felt like I had a sore throat. It is really worse than yesterday, it feels like I'm having mono but a little bit better.

Suddenly someone shows me a pack of tissues. I turned my face and saw that it was Ryder who did that, smiling at me. "Thanks Ryder."

"You killed that diva week assignment, but it looks like your cold is getting worse." Ryder says to me.

"I know that." I said, rubbing my nose.

"Don't rub your nose like that." Ryder pushed my hand away from my nose then gave me his letterman jacket.

I just looked at him as he turned his face back to his locker. Why is he being so nice to me? He told me that he likes me but I told him that I don't have feelings for him more than a friend. That's it. Ugh this is so confusing. 

Ryder Pov

"Don't rub your nose like that." I said to her and pushed her hand away from her nose and gave her my letterman jacket.

I know the reason she got sick was because I kissed her when I was sick, so now she got infected but my cold is gone. Jo still can't stop sneezing and coughing. I turned to face her and she looked pale. It's my fault I know that.

"Thanks for the box of tissues and your letterman jacket." Jo says to me and shuts her locker.

"Wait, where are you going?" I stopped her.

"Home, I'm not feeling well but thank you Ryder." Jo said to me then sneezed.

"I'll take you home." I said to her.

"No, you will get sick. Even Jake doesn't want to be close to me or sleep in the same room as me. I can just take a cab." Jo shakes her head.

"Jake is insane. I was the one who got you sick." I protest. "Go home with me. Come on." I take her hand and dragged her out of school.

Jo just walks behind me and she can't stop sneezing and coughing, even her voice is really dropping low. I can even feel her hand is cold. I know having a cold is bad.

"You want something to eat?" I ask Jo, as she laid her body on her bed.

"No, my mom will come home soon. You can go back home, thank you for bringing me home." Jo said weakly.

"I will stay here until she comes home." I said to her.

She is sweating but it's not even hot in here, and she is also shivering. My cold wasn't this bad, I guess my immune system is strong so it got rid of my cold faster.

"Maybe we can make some food. I'm hungry." I heard Jake's voice coming down the stairs. "Dude, what are you doing in my room?"

I turn to face Jake. Jake and Marley had just walked into this room. "I brought her home because your sister's cold is getting worse." I said to Jake.

"She probably got the kissing disease." Marley frowns. "You better call a doctor."

"You?" Jake raised his eyebrows at me.

"Yes I did." I rolled my eyes. "Look, you better call your mom." I said to Jake.

"Jo!" Jake's mom opened the door and walked downstairs, then walked to her bed and placed her hand on Jo's forehead. "Oh God, she's got mono." Jo's mom said and walked to the bathroom.

"Mom, are you home?" Jo says weakly.

"Yes, sweetheart." Jake's mom placed a face towel with cold water on her forehead then sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Dude." Jake nudged me and gave me a sign to get out of the room.

I half-smiled and exhaled then walked out of their room and closed the door. I don't know what to say. She got mono because of me, but why didn't I get mono at all?

"You kissed her?" Jake frowns at me.

"Yes, on our first date. I came late because I took the bus to get here and then I kinda got a cold then we kissed. You want to punch me in the face or something?" I raised my eyebrows.

"No, I'm not going to beat you. I'm just confused, she didn't tell me anything about your date or anything. She usually tells me when she dumped a guy or goes on a date with them." Jake says to me.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to talk about it." I simply said.

"Yeah maybe." Jake simply nodded.

I just half-smiled. Or maybe she didn't tell Jake because she doesn't know how to dump me like she dumps any other guy, but I guess she won't dump me because she knows I'm really into her. Not because of her body or popularity or anything. She is just different from every other girl.
