See you in two years...

chapter 3

Gus woke up felling like absolute shit. Now he was always tired in the morning which, fair enough, he had just woke up so it was quite obvious he would be tired, but that day he felt more tired then usual.

He forced himself to get up from bed despite the exhaustion screaming at him to remain in bed and get back to sleep. Gus got undressed from him pajamas after looking at the wall for possibly 10 full minutes, and wore a blue hoodie on with a white t-shirt underneath with black jeans on. The hoodie he was wearing was warm and soft, yet he still shivered from the cold, why was he so cold?It was barely winter...Walking down the stairs, he made sure to not to fall down them, he felt like shit and a bruise on the leg would not be appreciated today, especially at 7:28 AM. Gus looked over at the kitchen before leaving,usually his father would wake up early before he'd wake up and make him something quick ,like toasts or something to eat,the house was dead quiet and other then the sound of his steps,which sounded painfully loud, it was dead silence,so he though his father when to work early. He went into the kitchen where he saw a paper on the desk with a plate. It was from his father, saying he had to go to work early,and that if he could make up for it, they could watch a movie tonight, of course,at the end of the paper,was a drawing he usually draws. A small little cat. His father loves Cats,but his father is also allergic to them.

He looked over at the plate and lifted the paper towel that was on top of it,revealing two toasts. They had cheese and ham in them, they were brown and they looked good,Gus loved them,but that day just looking at them made him dizzy. Maybe he'd skip breakfast that day....He took the plate and left it in the fridge, and with a pen,he wrote his father he didn't feel like eating breakfast that day and left the house. Hunter, like always, waited by the fence, his phone is his hands. Gus closes the door which made Hunter jump a bit by the noise, looking at his side in an alert kinda way like somebody would murder him any moment.

“Hey sup” Hunter said,waving his hand. Gus rubbed his eyes giving him a nod trying to force a smile. He didn't want to worry his friend in the morning,but despite the effort,Hunter seemed to notice. “Hey you alright?”he asked, tilting his head to the side.

“Mmm?.....Yea,why you ask...?”

“Well.....you're shaking”He said pointing at him, while putting away his phone in his pocket with his other free hand. “Oh No it's okay...I'm just cold...”He answered.

“Oh...Well fair it is quite cold today anyways. Wanna take my hand?They should be warm enough to warm up your?”Hunter said, extending a hand for him to take. Gus hesitated, but took it eventually. His hands where indeed warm.

”Gosh your hand are like on fire!Did you put them in the oven or something before leaving?”He asked. He though Hunter said that ironically, to light up the mood a bit, to maybe even take a giggle out of him,he always did that when he was down,and fairly,it always worked, but looking at him,his expression was more worried then anything else.”Yes i'm okay really.....let's just go to school....”He said, starting to walk bringing Hunter with him who thankfully didn't press the situation further.

Once the two arrived to school,Hunter and Gus separated to go to their classes.

His first class was Geography,which was a PAIN. His head kept hurting, to the point that closing his eyes would help at least a bit with the pain, but when he'd close his eyes, they would feel like they were on fire, like Gus kept them open for HOURS. Around the end of the 1th period was when thing started to go down hill even more. His skull felt like it was crumbling into million pieces. His stomach turning it self, and his head felt so heavier then it was in the morning. He felt so cold...He just wished he could have just stayed home but nooooo. Let's go to school and maybe drop dead!Maybe even in the school hallways!!!
