I lay in bed completely lifeless. I have a horrible cold and I decide to skip my classes to recover. This is a big thing for me because I haven't missed a single day of class since I started at this school. I sigh looking at the clock. It is noon, time for lunch. I get up slowly and throw on a tee shirt and some sweats with a sweatshirt. I also throw on my scarf and gloves since I am so freezing. I lace up my sneakers and a exit my room. We have to go get lunch because when your sick you have to eat. I sniffle my way to the dining hall tissues in hand feeling completely miserable. I hate winter it feels like my nose is 90 pounds but my head is as light as a feather because of all the drugs I got from the nurse this morning. Once to the dining hall I pay for my meal.
"Anna you look horrible." The headmaster greets me.
"Thanks." I say nasally. Instantly I sneeze into my elbow. I sigh.
"I hope you feel better." he says pats me on the back then goes away. I pay for my meal and I go straight to the soup counter. Once I get my soup in a to-go container I start to head out of the dining hall. I just want to go back to my room to eat and go back to bed. I put my hood up and slowly make my way out the door.
"Anna?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I stop in my tracks and turn around a little to quickly and I get a little dizzy. I fall a little but catch myself with an open chair. I somehow did that without spilling my precious soup, "Are you okay?" Amos asks bending down to eye level like I'm a little kid.
"I'm great. I just have a horrible cold." I say then sneeze once more.
"What are you doing out of bed?!" He exclaims.
"Well. I don't get sick but I do know that I need to eat something." I say trying to sound healthy. It doesn't work and I just end up in a coughing fit. I sigh giving up and rest my head on the table.
"You should have called I would have brought you something."
"I figured you wouldn't even get out of bed since I didn't come wake you up." I say truthfully.
"Hey! for your information I only missed half of my first class. You should have seen Mr. Hamilton's face he was so shocked that I was there." Amos explains with a proud look on his face. I smile a little then sneeze.
"I'm proud of you." I say blowing my nose.
"Anyway lets get you back to your room you look miserable!" Amos says as he grabs my soup. He helps me up slowly making sure I don't get dizzy. Once we are outside he wraps his arm around my shoulders and hugs me closer keeping warm. I instantly feel sparks when he touches me but I shrug it off. I rest my head on his shoulder not thinking. It felt so natural to be like this. We slowly walk across campus to my room not talking. We get a few weird looks and some whispers in out direction. I don't care though it feels so good to be in his arms. I never want to leave. Then it happens we are on a slippery patch on the concrete and I sneeze slipping and hitting my head. The last thing I see is Amos's worried face and then black.
~*~*~
I wake up in a white room. This is not my room. I try to sit up worriedly but I feel a shot of pain going from my lower back to my skull before I can even move an inch. I look around the room and see I am in a hospital. I sneeze.
"Oh Anna thank goodness you're awake!" Amos says instantly showing up to my side. He touches my shoulder and I feel the tingly electricity shooting down my body again. That is weird. How come that is happening?
"What am I doing the hospital?" I mumble an incoherent sentence.
"Well you sneezed on an ice patch and cracked your head open. It was actually really funny and I was going to laugh until I saw the blood. So I called the ambulance and here we are." Amos explains.
"Typical me move. What day iss itt?" I slur a little bit. My head is so fuzzy.
"It is 11:59pm. We are going to be in tomorrow in a minute." Amos says with a small laugh.
"Thatts goood. Tomorrow tomorrow we shoulld gett icee cream." I slur again. My eyes threatening to close.
"I think I like drugged up Anna. Yes tomorrow we will go get icecream." I hear as I slowly go back to sleep.
