Maddie's POV

My head kept falling forward as I try to stop myself from falling asleep. I shook it to somehow wake my senses up but it's no use, my eyelids are heavy and they are closing voluntarily.

I rested my chin on my palm as I prop my elbows on the table.

I let out a yawn, and the battle of my conciousness and sleep is still on when a bottle of milk appeared before.

I lifted my head to see who it is, and found Pauline standing beside me with a bored look.

"How?" I asked.

"You're too sleepy to notice that I left." She answered.

I smiled sweetly at her which made her roll her eyes at me. She left the milk on the table and told me to wait for her to be back.

I was too tired and too sleepy to have the energy to drink. I let my eyes have some rest, it feels like something is lulling me to sleep.

There are voices but I ignored them, the feeling of someone staring at me is unbearable. I shook my head and reached for the beverage Pauline brought with my eyes still close I opened it and gulped the whole content.

The container is almost empty when I realized what I just drank. The sleepiness in my body disappeared, not because of what I drank but because I started to panic.

My eyes went wide when I saw the bottle of coffee on my hand instead of the one Pauline handed me.

I realized I wasn't alone when I heard some people laughing in front of me.

It's Basti Regala and his minions who are idiots just like him except one. Ron, he is looking at his friends in disbelief and gave me a apologetic smile.

What Basti is doing made me rage in fury. He's drinking the milk the supposedly mine.

I was about to stand up and choke him to make him stop laughing but I felt like the whole room is spinning. I sat down again to steady myself.

"What's happening here?" I can't be wrong, it's Pauline's voice.

I heard her rush footsteps approaching our table. I tried to look at them but everything is blury, I'm seeing doubles.

My stomach started aching, and I started seeing things. I let out a loud sneeze. Feeling like I will throw up anytime.

"Basti, what did you do?!" Pauline's voice is panicky.

"Chill. I just gave her coffee, she needs it." He chuckled.

That's when I saw worry and panic in her eyes. She ran towards my discarding the bags of food on the floor.

"Maddie!" Pauline cupped my face but I can't see her clearly.

"What's happening?" I think it's one of Basti's friends who asked that.

"Ron, please dial my ate's number."

I don't like what's about to happen. I'm so stupid not to realized it during the first sip.

"Hello, ate. Please come to the study hall. Maddie's having allergic reaction!"

"Hey, Madds." She removed the streaks of hair covering my face.

I groaned to answer her. I feel to weak and my breath is labored.

"Hey! Maddie, ate is coming. Stay with me okay." She said still not letting go of my face.

I started to catch my breath, some parts of my body is itchy and it feels like my air passage got narrow.

"Can't..... b-br-breathe."
