Sofia, a genuinely nice person and who would do nothing to break someone's heart, likes Anthony but he thinks...

I felt very nauseous and part of me did not know if I was asleep or not. I could see light but my eyes were closed. My stomach started to churn making me groan. I turned to the side and buried myself further in the covers of my bed.
That's when I heard a knock, loud and hard as if the knock itself should've been able to wake me up. "Uhm, Aria told me to wake you up, so.." Of course, it was him. Anthony. I can just imagine him crossing his arms and his tense posture.Not that I noticed. "Wake up." I didn't realize he was still speaking but it hurt to move. My stomach hurts and my eyes are still closed even as I will them to open.
"I'll be there.." I barely manage. I didn't hear a reply back so I just assumed he left. He probably did. So, I sit on the bed and slide the covers off me. I finally open my eyes and rub them. I'm really tired. I should've slept sooner. Poor Aria, she didn't sleep well because of me too.
I look down at my bed to see Mr. Snuggles (my stuffed bear ) and my laptop which seemed to have shut down from being on all night. I wanted to lay back down but if I did James would know something was wrong. I walk over to my vanity and sit down on the chair in front of it. I glanced at the mirror and I looked horrible. My hair was in a mess and my eyes seemed as if I'd been through a breakup.
That's even worse. I untie the ribbon from my hair and let my hair fall past my shoulders. I began brushing the knots to untangle them. Suddenly, my head began throbbing, and I dropped the hairbrush to touch my head. It felt heavier all of a sudden. I wince when the pain doesn't seem to subside, I let my head rest on my arms which were folded on the vanity.
I need water. I need to wash my face. That's probably what I need. I head over to the connected washroom between me and James's room and splash my face with the water. I turn off the tap and grab my towel. A sharp laugh cuts through the silence, it was Aria "Cameron- stop-" she says between laughs "I was- supposed- to wake you up-" another laugh. "You already did," Cameron says his voice low as if he just woke up as well.
"You know what I mean. I meant to stop tickling me and to wake up." There was no reply from him, though. "Cameron!" she warned, and I heard a soft thud. That was not nice," I hear Cam say. Your breath stinks, by the way." I stifle a laugh as she said that. "Nice to know." He replied with a chuckle.
"Be down for breakfast. Louis made pancakes." She goes on as if he didn't say a thing. Louis' back? I thought he went to college in Paris.
I feel sick. I don't even have the energy to stand, I go back to my room and close the washroom door. I slammed myself back to my bed just as my bedroom door opened. "Sof, time to wake up!" It was Aria being overly cheerful like she always is when she tries to wake people up. When I don't respond her tone switches to concern. "Sof.. you good?"
