LOVE OR FRIENDSHIP?

The Sickroom

"How are you feeling now?" Aliza asked squeezing my hands gently.

"I'm feeling better now" I smiled.

"We missed you" Anna said to which Olivia responded "A lot"

"Same here, I was all alone and its damn boring here" I paused "By the way I never expected you guys to come here" I said looking at the boys.

"Of course! We do care for you Juliet"

"Yeah, but how do you'll know that I was seriously sick" I questioned.

"Why not? Aliza told us"

"She told us everything"

"We came here half an hour ago and you were fast asleep, so we went back"

"Oh yah, after I had a nap I feel better" I replied.

After half an hour of random talking,

"Aren't you people going back to class?" I asked

"No..."

"We don't want to leave you"

"We'll bunk class"

"Just for you Juliet"

"Because we love you"

"We care for you"

I smile at the fact that I have such loving and caring friends. I am indeed lucky. They are always around me no matter what the situation is, compassionate and helpful. They are ready to skip lessons just for me, but I feel bad for them. I don't want them to ruin their studies just because of me. I tried many times convincing them to go back to class and that I can be alone but I failed.

"What subject are we having now?" I questioned Aliza

"We have ICT, fortunately Miss is absent today"

"What about you'll" I ask the guys.

"We have English Literature"

"Won't Sir punish you?"

"Probably no, because he didn't see us since morning"

"Let him think that we are absent"

"What if the others in class say that you all were present today?"

"We'll say that one of us were sick and in the sickroom or in the washroom or whatever excuse we could make"

"Why think about it and ruin our current moment"

"Let's enjoy!"

After chatting for a while, Kaym said, "I feel hungry when I see the fridge"

"Same here" Some of them replied.

Edgar stood up and went to the refrigerator, opened the door and started searching for food. We immediately spotted a black forest cake. I wonder why the school has had a black forest in the refrigerator, maybe they got it as a gift from someone, or maybe they got it for a visitor or something. Whatever reason it may be.

Edgar took the cake out,

"Shall we share it amongst ourselves?"

"No! We can't get caught again"

"They would know its us who did it because they know that Juliet is sick and in the sickroom"

Edgar took out some yoghurts as well,
