Medical Mishaps

 "Hey, are you okay? You don't look so hot right now," Andrew's friend, Steven, asked.

"Yea, I'm doing just fine, why do you ask?" Little did Andrew know that he was in fact not doing fine that day.

"Oh, it's probably nothing. You just seem a little pale this morning," Steven said while motioning towards his face.

"That's probably just because I didn't have breakfast this morning. Also, you know how I get with car ride, especially in the mornings," said Andrew.

"Yea, I guess that' true, but you know how I am. I always worry about you guys with all of your self-destructing habits that you have and all," Steven said as he sighed.

Andrew walked up to Steven and patted him on the back. "I know and that's why we all love you. You keep up that attitude."

They continued walking to their class and were joined by Marylin who looked as tired as usual. "Hey Mary, you doing okay there. You seem a little bit tired today."

It took her a few moments to respond, "Huh, oh yea, I doing fine. I just didn't get much sleep last night."

"Ugh, Mary you get better habits. You need around eight hours of sleep per night not two or less." Steven said worried about her habits.

"I can't help it and you know it," Mary shot back.

Steven just looked tired and said, "Ugh, I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."

They continued walking to math as they all had that first, and there they met with their other two friends, Angela and Charlie. "Hey guys, how're you doing this morning?"

Andrew just shrugged, "As good as I can be on a Monday morning."

"True that, amen!" Charlie shouted.

Mary shrunk back as if he was the loudest thing in the world. "Dude, calm down. It's too early for this."

Charlie stuck his tongue out at her, "It's not my fault that I'm up till 3:30 doing homework."

Mary stared at Charlie with a hurt look on her face, "Well, at least I can live independently."

They continued going back and forth making up some creative and cleaver insults before Steven interrupted them. "Stop!" People looked at them like they grew another head before turning back, "sorry, but you two stop fighting. It's never this bad so what happened?"

Mary sighed, "I just didn't get enough sleep and am easily irritated right now. Sorry Charlie."

Mary quickly shook her head, "I will accept your apology if you accept mine."

Charlie saw that he was at a dead end and replied, "Fine, but you are forcing my hand" They shook on it.

"Ugh, finally you guys took forever," they then continued what they were talking until the teacher arrived around ten minutes later. Now, Andrew already had a headache before class and math wasn't about to make it better so he zoned the entire lesson out since he could get notes from his friends later. He was brought back to reality in the hall by a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to who the hand belonged to and saw that it was Charlie. "What's wrong dude and don't say that it's nothing. I know that something is wrong."

Andrew looked like he was going to say something before he said, "Fine, I just have a headache," he looked at Charlie's face before sighing, "I know that look. Stop overthinking everything. If I say I'm fine then I'm fine." He was at least up until his fourth hour class, Science. He still had a bit of a headache, but he thought it was going away. He made it halfway through class before he got dizzy out of nowhere. He laid his head on his desk, which gained the attention of some classmates, but no one thought anything of it. His friend, Mary, leaned over and whispered, "Hey, are you doing okay?"
