Life was becoming unbearable. Not only was I still having those damn nightmares I couldn't remember but I had failed my Polaroid, and to top it all off that girl was making a nuisance of herself. By god's giggle she somehow transferred into my third and fourth periods, so now I was forced to see her every day instead of by chance in the halls. It turns out her name was June Aurum and she was insufferable.
I was sifting through a few note cards outside of class on Tuesday, Q had yet to show up and without someone to talk to there was a chance she'd approach me. There was something not right about that girl, I couldn't put my finger on it but she rubbed me all the wrong ways.
As I stared at my note cards my head began to get a little light, I blinked a few times, my vision becoming blurry. I rubbed my face, I need more sleep.
"Morning Liv" I looked up, squinting as Q came wandering down the hall with Trina at his side.
"Morning" I said, straightening my note cards.
"Have you convinced Madam Soap Opera to rethink your grade for your Polaroid?" Trina asked, I made an unpleasant face.
"She refuses, apparently I didn't follow the rubric correctly, but I should at least get more than two points" I muttered, it was a pretty big project and had a strangle hold on my grade as of late.
"Well either way we have more projects to come" Q said, the bell rang and I sighed.
"Time to die" I murmured,
"Later guys" Trina waved before jogging off, I gave a small wave before turning to go into class. I guess I moved too fast because I was hit with a sense of vertigo, my step missing. I crashed into a desk, stumbling as my vision darkened.
"Holy- Liv, are you alright?" Q caught me,
"Is everything all right?" my breathing was a little uneven, I felt weak.
"M'fine" I murmured, trying to stand up again.
"I think it would be better to take you to the nurse Miss Cornwell" if I went to the nurse I'd miss the test, my grade was already suffering. It took me a moment but I forced myself onto uneasy feet, pushing away from Q.
"N-no, I'm fine" I said, my vision slowly sharpening again so I could see our teacher and Q giving me worried looks. "I promise, sorry for worrying you" I said, hands up, note cards as well. She furrowed her brow,
"Alright, but if you get any worse you're going home, understood?" she said, I nodded. "Okay, take your seats you two" she shooed us off, I sighed, thank god. I scratched at my neck as we went to our seats,
"Liv I'm a little more than worried now, even if I have to tie you to your bed you're not coming to school tomorrow" Q said as he walked me to my desk, I flashed him a look, feeling a little more steady now.
"I can't miss any school Q, I know I promised you I would but I just can't. I haven't been on top of my game so my test grades have crashed, I can't risk failing any classes" I said, sliding into my seat and dropping my backpack.
"At the cost of your health?" he asked,
"Q, I'm not dying, I'll just take a nap when I get home" I said, he gave me another dubious look before he was forced to go to his seat. I faced forward, taking slow breaths. I had the urge to take a nap now, but I stayed upright as the teacher passed out our tests.
I didn't bother turning around to hand the tests back, I knew I'd only get a smirk and golden eyes when I did. I scratched my neck some more, searching for a pencil in my bag.
