Spike's POV.
'Gosh my head hurts' I thought to myself as the geometry teacher drowned on and on about stuff I didn't care about. I had woken up with a bad headache and a sore throat, but not wanting to alarm anyone or worse, be...babied. I shook it off like it was nothing and followed my siblings to school. May as well be called the place for the people with no lives. I started getting a bit queasy, but I wasn't about to admit I felt bad. 'It won't kill me to get a small nap...' I thought to myself as I laid my head on my desk. I heard a very loud noise, I sat straight up and yelled.
"400!"
"This is geography, Mr. Davenport not math. And you are here to learn, not sleep. Now straighten up!" My teacher yelled before turning back to the blackboard.
'Thanks freak face. Now I have a worse migraine and want to sleep through your class even more then ever.' I thought as I rubbed the sides of my head with my fingers and tried to resist the urge to attack her.
Then the bell finally rang. I grabbed my bag, slung it over my shoulder and went to go find my not so great siblings since geography was my last class. I was walking towards Leo's, or as I like to call him, Fruit fly, oh who am I kidding, I felt so bad I didn't want to insult Leo, locker when I felt a slam on my face, fell on the floor and realized I had walked into a locker. I looked over to see it was Bree's.
"Oh Spike I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." Bree said as she closed her locker door and held her hand out for me to grab.
I scoffed at the gesture and stood up, gripping the water fountain as I did so. We walked over to Leo's locker to see Adam, Leo and my wonderful (not so wonderful) identical twin Chase.
"Oh gosh Spike. What happened to your face?" Adam asked.
"Shut up box of rocks." I said as I leaned my head on the cold lockers.
"Spike are you feeling ok?" Leo asked.
"Yes I am Fruit fly. Now I suggest that you leave me alone before I rip out your ribs, and use them as a xylophone." I threatened, making Leo back off.
"Spike?" Chase started.
"I don't want to hear it Cupcake. Let's just go home." I groaned as my throat started getting sore again.
Chase's POV.
As we were walking home, Spike was walking behind all of us.
"Does something seem...off about Spike?" I asked while looking back at my brother.
"He was being rude...er then normal." Adam said.
"Plus he walked into my locker when he got out of geometry." Bree said.
"That doesn't sound good. Maybe he is getting sick." I said as I looked at Spike again.
"Stop looking at me before I rip out your eyes and use them as golf balls!" Spike yelled before grabbed his head again.
"Ok, he wouldn't ever say that to you Chase. Something is definitely wrong with Spike." Bree said.
"Well, people normally act differently when they are sick, so it is a possibility." Leo said.
"I think we should tell Mr. Davenport when we get home." I said.
"Agreed." Adam said.
""Wait. Why would he hide it from us?" Bree asked.
"Maybe he's afraid he's gonna get babied. I hate that, so Spike must absolutely despise it." I explained.
I saw Spike start stumbling and swaying before face planting the concrete sidewalk. We all ran over to him and helped him up. He had scrapes all over his face, and now I was noticing that he was shaking, his face was flushed, his nose was running, and he felt warm to the touch.
"Are you feeling ok?" I asked.
"I'm fi-" He started before he started vomiting on the sidewalk, and of course it hit me also.
"Spike!" I yelled, ignoring the puke on my outfit as I rubbed my twin's back while he continued to throw up.
When he finished, he was shaking violently and couldn't find the strength to stand.
"Adam, pick him up so we can get him back to the house." I said as I helped Adam lift him gently.
"I...I hat...hate you...so muc...much Chas...Chase." Spike said while his teeth were chattering.
"You think I don't hate you at this point? You puked all over me!" I yelled.
"Sor...sorry." Spike said quietly.
The rest of the way home went in silence and when we opened the door, Tasha freaked out.
"What happened to Spike?!" She yelled.
"He has been acting strange all day. Then he lost his cookies all over the sidewalk and Chase." Leo explained.
"Ok, take Spike upstairs, and Chase. Get changed. I hope whatever Spike has isn't contagious." Tasha explained as she grabbed the thermometer.
I went down to the lab and got a shower in my capsule real quick before changing my clothes.
Spike's POV.
Adam took me upstairs, in his arms like I was a baby, which I'm not!, and put me in my PJ's before leaving. Then Tasha came in the room and stuck a thermometer in my mouth. I started moving it around in my mouth before Tasha told me to stay still and keep the thermometer under my tongue. After it beeped, she pulled it out and sighed.
"How high is it?" I asked.
"102.7. I'm gonna go get you some water, alright?" She asked.
I nodded, grabbed the plush blankets tightly, and went to sleep.
