I sat in history class watching the raindrops slide down the glass pane, wondering how I was going home in all this rain

. I was beside my best friend Natasha,who was bored to death as I was. After an terrible 45 minutes later, the rain was still pouring down on the outside.

Sighing I reached for my phone in my pocket ,and looked at the time and it said 2:15. I sat on the bench waiting for Natasha to come with her library books .

As she approached me I got a text from mom it read:
Hurry up and come home violet has coral fever.
I gasped.
I'll be there soon mom.

Come on Midnight let's go to Starbucks before we head home."Natasha pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry nats I can't violet's got the fever." I replied. "Dang "she said as we were walking out the front gate of our school.

"So do you have to stop and buy medicine for her ?"She asked in a whiny voice like a five year old.
laughing ,I answered " yes i do".

Just as we turned on the avenue that my house was on ,I waved bye to Natasha and ran up to the door of my house pushed it open,and saw violet lying down in the couch pale-faced with mom looking over her.

I dropped my bag in astonishment,and ran over to the couch and felt violet's forehead. It was sizzling hot.
