I grabbed my backpack from the kitchen counter and headed for the door. "You aren't having breakfast honey", my mom came out of the kitchen. I shook my head. "I don't feel like mom. I have been feeling nauseous and anything I eat would just end up in the toilet. What about the doctors appointment." I have been experiencing night sweats and some series of fevers. Which never happened before. I think I caught the flu. "Oh, I'll check with Doctor Huber. He might make out time to see you," I nodded my head and went over to her. Giving her a quick hug, I rushed out. My Ferrari was parked in the garage. It was one of my three cars. My dad bought me this last year for my birthday. I rushed in, I was late already, not that I cared.
Being in senior year gave you the leverage to do whatever and act however you felt like. Leading the top crew in school gave me leverage to everything. From arriving late to school, to getting what I want, to dating the hottest boy in school. I parked near the school bus and as I stepped out of my car, Patty and Jess where waiting. Patty took my bag and Jess my keys. I walked in majestically. "I love your top, isn't that this seasons Chanel." I giggled. Of course. "The only one out." Grinning with pride, I walked in, as everyone stared at me.
Being popular requires being a snob. Cos, everyone would want to talk to you, stay next to you, even just inhaling the scent of your perfume gave them joy. But not everyone can come near. I don't particularly have a real friend. I practically interviewed Patty and Jess before they were able to touch my stuff. I am like the queen of highschool.
A hand held my waist and kissed me on my right cheek. Clive. "Hey babe", I smiled at him. Babe, that's new. He actually wanted something. I dated Clive for the show. He was school president and captain of the basket ball team. He was popular. I needed his connection to be on the top. "What do you want Clive." I sneered at him. He smelt of aftershave. Thick scent. Caustic. "Chill, good morning first. How was your night", he was really wasting my time. I tapped my foot. I was going to count to ten, if he continues, I'll walk away. "My night was splendid. Soo..." He curved his lips upwards and said slyly, "some change". This dog. Always asking me for money. "A thousand", he smiled. "Yep", I opened my locker, brought my purse, pulled out a thousand and threw it at him. He picked them all up and went off. I pulled out my Spanish textbook and went off to class.
I sat in the middle row. Firstly, so I could see the teacher clearly and secondly, so everyone could See Me. I walked in to the classroom, and sat down. Jess and Patty scrambled next to me. There was a girl sitting in the chair next to mine. She didn't seem she was going to stand up. So after staring at her a while, Jess sat on a chair next to hers. The Spanish teachers voice took over.
I was popular didn't mean I failed all my text and didn't study. I wasn't that kind of popular. I studied really hard cos my dad was a professor, he expected the best scores from me and I had to give him that. After Ruby White, the most intelligent girl in all my classes, I came next. I studied to the bone and I felt it taking its effect. My head hurt a lot. I think I need some painkillers. I was also feeling a little bit dizzy and tired. What was wrong with me. I stared at the teacher some more and then, all I could remember was Patty tapping my shoulders. I quickly stood up. The girl next to me looked at me intently as if I was an alien. She hesitated before she talked. "Hi, am Princess", I scoffed. "And am a pea". She shook her head, "no..that's my name". I wasn't going to stay here and listen to this. I stood up and left as my entourage followed me.
I was half way through the door when I fell. Embarrassing. I quickly stood up as Jess and Patty rendered their apologies. I dusted my too and skirt and walked off. I was feeling dizzy. Why is my leg weak? Why am I loosing control? Before I knew what was going on, I lost consciousness.
I opened my eyes to see myself in the infirmary. The nurse quickly rushed over when I sat up. She looked panicky. "Are u up my dear. I think your fever is gone." She checked my temperature, and breathed in deeply. She smiled at me and asked, "are u on ur period." I shook my head. She looked confused. "Well do you have the flu then." "I think so" I wasn't sure but my dad had it so, I may too. She nodded and informing me she called my mom to pick me up, she left to take care of others.
As my mom help me into her jeep, my head ached. This fever was going on long enough. And why did I feel dizzy. "Mum," she turned to me sharply. "Yes hon, anything the matter." She looked worried. I hate making her worry. But my body felt sore. "Did you book the appointment with doctor Huber". She nodded. "Yes hon. We will go straight to the hospital after we have lunch at Maxis." Lunch. I wasn't feeling hungry. I didn't want food right now. I just wanted to see the doctor. I felt terrible. "Mum, I don't feel hungry. Just take me to the doctors." She opened her mouth to say something. But nothing came out. She shut it and we drove on.
I hate the smell of hospitals. They make me remember death. An Aunt of mine, Aunt Maddie died in a hospital. She died of cancer. I had remembered several trips to the hospital. Sometimes being left alone. Then she died. My mom said it was better she died than to continue suffering the pain. I wished she didn't die. Death was more painful. As we walked in I sat on a long bench as my mom went over to the nurse at the front desk. I looked around. This place smelt of disinfectant and blood. I scrunch my nose. My phone beeped. It was from Patty. She wanted to know how I felt. I tested her back saying I was fine.
My mom returned to the bench and we went to the doctors office. As we entered he smiled at my mom. He was one of my dad's classmates. He washout family doctor since I was a child. He motioned us to sit and asked me some questions. I answered them hastily as he wrote some stuffs down in his note pad. Then, he took me to a room where there were lots of machines and I was tested. He asked us to come back some days later but gave me some drugs to sustain me till I knew what was wrong with me. We left immediately.
I never got sick. Hardly. So in the worst case scenario, I was hoping it was a minor flu. I hate being so sick. I loathed it.Hi guys. Pls remember to vote and comment. Thanks for reading.
