Pre-Homecoming

I'm now sitting in the bathroom feeling really sick. The funny thing is it's freaking homecoming today.

I look as pale a ghost. "Fuck." I mutter as i wipe my puke from my face. I feel disgusting.

I decide to take a shower so i'll feel a bit better.

Lindsay and Duke are coming over today to get ready for homecoming. My mom hasn't been home since last night.

She has problems at her work, i overheard a phone call and it's not going great.

But the less i know, the less i have worry about.

After my shower i feel a little better but not fully so i just lay on my bed.

As my eyes almost fall closed my phone rings.

"Heey." My voice cracks. "Hey there Lau. It's us Lindsay and Duke. We can't wait to get ready for homecoming so meet us at Cookies&Milk!"

"Really nice guys but i don't feel too good so maybe get y'all ass' here." I groan as i switch sides on my bed.

"What?!" Lin screams in my hear and i flinch. "Sorry i feel really nauseous and i already threw up." I explain.

"Girl we are right there you better have the door open." Lin yells. "Door's open." I say as i end the call. I already took a painkiller but it's not really working.

Ten minutes later i heard the door being slammed open and running on the stairs.

Finally my door is being opened but now a but more gentle. "Bitch get your ass up right now." Duke's voice says.

"Guys if i could control my sickness i promise you, i would change it." I say.

They look at me in pure horror. I send them a sharp glare back. "What..?" I trail off asking why they look like they seen a ghost. Probably me because i'm white as fuck.

"Honey.. you look like shit." Lin says. "Thanks for reminding me." I give her a small smile.

Duke steps closer laying his hand on my forehead feeling my warmth with his palm. "You're hot. Literally and psychically." Duke tells. "I have no idea what to do. I've been excited for homecoming this whole week just to feel sick. I'm going to hang myself up." I say being dramatic. Or am i? Because frankly i love parties and especially with friends and it's a school kind of party.

They look at each other like they don't know any answers to a life or death question.

"You need to get fucking better because we didn't get matching satin dresses for nothing!" Lin screams. "This is my worst nightmare, oh my god- i'm literally going to throw up."

I nod. "Me too, twinsies again!" I say sarcastically.

"Have you taken a painkiller?" She asks. I nod to give her an answer. "Take another one and in an hour another one and in two hou-" "Lin, please calm down, i'm not dying.." I trail off while thinking of the phone call i got yesterday. Her mom.

No, that wasn't a "your mom" joke. But i serious got to tell her because i bet she didn't know yet.

She is currently staying at her aunts because her mom is in a working period where she would work 12 hours a day.

I also don't understand why they didn't call her aunt because she's an adult and can take care of all that.

But anyways. I need to find a way- "So my plan is that you just sleep a bit and we'll come back with makeup and our clothes for homecoming and we'll wake you up in an hour so get some rest and you're coming tonight." Lin interups my thoughts.
