A Little Improvement

Toby's POV

I woke up late still feeling bad. I did not have a great night last night. I tossed and turned and my congested chest and stuffy nose would not let me sleep. It's twelve noon and I just ate lunch. Lita called me from school during lunch and I told her that I enjoyed the cookies that she made me. I'm completely bored out of my mind, I can't go out so I'm pretty much stuck here. Tori checked on me and gave me my medicine then took my temperature. This sucks! I should be in school with my girlfriend and friends!

Tori walked in. "Rise and shine kiddo!" She said.

"Hey Tori." I said in a plain voice.

"You sound down, what's up?" She frowned.

"Bored!" I shouted and threw my hands in the air. "I had a terrible night! I couldn't sleep! Because my chest and nose and head was kicking my butt!"

"I understand Toby, but you'll be better in no time." She smiled.

"I feel like a prisoner!" I crossed my arms.

"No way!" She laughed. "Don't exaggerate kiddo."

I rolled my eyes and laid back down. "This stinks! I can't see my friends, I can't kiss my girlfriend, and I can't even sleep well!"

"Don't worry Toby, it'll all be over." Tori smiled. "Do you want some tea or more water?"

I sighed. "More water is fine."

"Cool, be right back." She left.

I continued to lay in bed and started thinking about my friends. Goodness man, can I just get better already?

Lita's POV

My friends and I were in history class doing our assignment. I still had Toby on my mind because I wondered if he was feeling well today. He did texted me this morning that he was having another headache and stuffy nose. I wish I could just give him one touch and take away his illness. Class then dismissed, and we got ready to go home. While we were in the halls, Lane came up to us.

"Hey you three." He greeted us.

"Hi Lane." The three of us said.

"Look, I wanted to tell you guys that there's going to be a field trip this Saturday!" He explained.

"A field trip?" My eyes lit up.

"Yup, all ninth graders are going to take a trip to the Zoo!" He exclaimed.

Me, Maya, and Josh looked at each other with wide eyes. "Awesome!" The three of us exclaimed.

"That's right, it's this Saturday, and we're gonna leave out at nine thirty a.m.!" He explained. "So be here early."

"Okay cool, this is gonna be fun!" I said.

"Yeah, and hopefully Toby will be able to join us." Maya said.

"How is he by the way?" Lane looked concerned.

"He's doing okay, he told me this morning that he couldn't sleep at all last night though." I looked sad.

"Oh, well the first night of having a cold is always the roughest night, you know?" Lane gave a sympathetic look.

"I'm gonna make sure to check up on him once I get home." I said.

Lane smiled. "That's a great idea."

"I'm trying to see how in the world did he get sick?!" Josh shook his head.
