i was sat in period 2, math. i was sat next to alahna and matt was directly infront of me. we were messing around so much and not paying attention since it was too early in the morning to focus on algebra and our teacher was so fucking boring.

my lower back started to really throb and caused me to cringe at the thought of moving. i rested my head on the desk. causing alahna to look over at me.

alahna
i looked over at nick who's head was resting on the desk and leg bouncing up and down. "nicolas" our teacher says. "head up please, how are you going to pass this class by sleeping?" he says raising an eyebrow at nick. "sorry" nick mumbles looking sorry for himself. "hey" i tap his shoulder subtly.

i felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked over to my left. "what's up?" i say to alahna trying to ignore this horrendous pain in my back. "you don't look good" she says inspecting my face. "what do you mean?" i say, flinching at the pain in my back getting worse. "you're cheeks are bright red, let me feel your head" just as she reached out her hand matt turned around. "what's going on?" he says quietly to me and alahna. "nothing matt" i say but then alahna butts in. "you're burning hot nick that can't be good" she shares a look with matt, who looks worried. "i'm fine i promise" i say smiling reassuringly to the both of them thinking that back pain can't cause me a temperature right?...

it got to the end of math class and i stood up and immediately winced at the pain that had gradually moved to my left side during the end of class. i pushed my chair in and picked up my backpack from the ground. that hurt so bad, i thought to myself. it's fine at least it's break now, 20 minutes to relax. matt caught my eye as everyone was packing away and the bell rang. "what?" i say looking at him intensely. "come talk to me in a minute" he says, looking concerned for me. "i hate this" i mumbled to myself. i hate people being worried about me, it worries me even more and i'm trying to convince myself it's nothing.

matt
nick didn't look good at all and i wanted to talk to him before he went off to break with alahna, chloe and makayla. we walked out of class together. "i'll catch you in a minute" nick says to alahna. "okay do you want anything from the cafeteria?" alahna asks. "um no thanks, i've got my own snack" nick smiles and alahna walks away.

"you don't have your own snack, mom gave us money?" i said to him. "yeah i know matt i'm just not hungry and she'll worry about me" "i'm worried about you nick, just go to the nurse and go home, you're really hot and you look...drained" i say examining his face.

the thing is, i knew matt was right. i probably should just go home, but there is this end of school year party at lunch today and it's being hosted in the hall and i don't wanna miss it. me and alahna were a massive part of the idea and i can't miss something i created. "matt i can't miss lunch today" i say to him. "nick seriously, i'll see what chris thinks come on" i get dragged by the arm causing me to wince once again, but thankfully he didn't notice.

we found chris on our way to the canteen. before matt even said anything chris noted. "i just saw alahna apparently you didn't want anything from the cafeteria? so i told her to get you something" "chris i'm not hungry" i say frustrated. "you cant tell me he doesn't look sick" "i don't feel sick matt" i say raising my voice a little. "you look it" we all stand there in silence for a minute. "i'm leaving" i start to walk away. "wait-nick" i turn around. "if you feel worse come find us" "i'm fine" i said annoyed as i walked away from both of them.
