Anything It Takes 《SLOW UPDATES》

14. Fuck up the school (Hunter's words, not Penny's c;)

I kicked and squirmed in my bed, I was sweating all over and my stomach was churning. Shizballs. My stomach heaved and I raced out of bed to throw up.

Lissana came running into my room and moved my hair out of the way as I emptied my stomach. Eww.

I hate throwing up, cause I always seem to not be able to breathe and I panic because I can't breathe and I feel lightheaded. It's the worst feeling ever.

"There, there" Lissana muttered as she rubbed my back soothingly. "I'll call the school and tell them you're sick and you canct make it today, okay?" Lissana helped me up and turned the shower on for me, so I wouldn't smell like sick anymore. Double eww.

She left the room, to go call the school and I stripped out of my sick-smelling clothes. It's so disgusting.

I washed my hair and soaped my body with blueberry body wash. Mmm, no more sicky smelling Penny! Okay..that's weird. Heh.

I dried myself off and blow dried my hair, so I wouldn't get any sicker. I ran into my room and found my third favourite onesie, the bunny one, with feet! Heh. I'm so childish. It's great.

I brushed my hair and pulled the hood onto my head, completing my bunny look. Ooh I should draw whiskers on my face. I rummaged around my room, looking for my sharpie. Once I found it, I drew a little triangle on my nose and whiskers on my cheeks.

I hopped around my room like a bunny, stopping almost instantly as my stomach began churning again. I took a few deep breaths to try and get rid of the feeling, it surprisingly worked.

I walked downstairs slowly, stopping on the second floor (remember, my room's on the third floor) for a breather. When I finally reached the bottom, I headed straight for the living room and flopped onto the couch with a groan.

"Lissaaaa" I called, "Stay home with mee". She came running through, a smile plastered on her face. "Ok. By the way, the school's shut, apparently it's 'raining too hard', like mhm, sure. Like a little bit of rain could affect our learning, jesus christ" Lissana frowned.

"Lissa, I've been meaning to ask you but I never got around to it...how's Dalton?" I asked her.

Her facials changed, going from a frown to a full on death glare at the mention of his name. "Dalton hasn't been himself. When I first moved in here, he was all fine. But the Monday at school, when you guys had left, he blew his top off at me. He even...he even hit me. Those new friends of his...they've destroyed the Dalton I once knew. Now he's a bully. Your bully. And my bully." Lissana broke down in sobs, I wrapped my arms around her, tightly.

"I-I'm sorry" She cried. "It's fine..just let it out. We all have to cry, otherwide we'd explode and it'd be more water than our insides flying out of us" I assured her, Lissana let out a shaky laugh.

"Th-thank y-you" She stammered, pulling away from me and wiping her eyes. I smiled at her, "It's okay. You're here for me and I'm here for you." I grinned.

"You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there. And I know when I need it I can count on you like four, three, two, you'll be there. Cause that's what friends are s'posed to do oh yeah" I sang, giggling.

"You're a really good singer" Lissana yawned, settling down on the couch, "Sing some more".

With a smile, I began singing another song, one of my favourites,
"My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dipping rabit holes for fun
Popping, popping balloons with guns
Getting high off helium
We paint white roses red
Each shade from, a different persons head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar
I'm peeling the skin off my faaace
Cause I really hate being saaafe
The normals they make me afraid
The crazies the make me feel sane
I'm nuts, baby I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had-"
