Let's Fly Together

16

I woke up feeling a pang on my head. Ohh God, I'm also not feeling so well, I'm sneezing, dont tell me I have a cold. And My body aches with just a little movement.

I held may head and felt a cold towel so I called my Mom who immediately went up to my room.

"Yes honey? " she asked soaking the towel on the cold water

"What time is it mom? " I asked

"It's noon. Don't worry, I called your school that you're sick. " she replied as she puts back the towel

"Thanks Mom." I muttered closing my eyes

"You were so tired practicing yesterday and let yourself got drenched by the rain, of course your body will declined. " she exclaimed a bit worried

"Sorry Mom. I thought a quick shower will make it better."

I heard her sighing as she sits right next to me.

"You were not at Lehm house last night right? " she asked making me anxious

My heart rate went from 70 to 200 real quick.

"Yes Mom. Lhem went home first as we're still not done practicing. So i went with my bandmate. " I said my eyes still closed

I can't look at my mom right now, she will definitely knows that I'm lying.

"If you're well and healthy tomorrow, You will attend class but will not participate on practice. We clear?" she ordered

"Yes Mom. Dont worry. " I assured her

"That's until Saturday." She added

I nodded as I opened my eyes.

"I wanna get some rest Mom. " I voiced out hugging my pillow

"You need to eat something first. " she said walking off to grab some food

I ate about half of my plate and took my pill. My mom left me in my room to rest after that.

The silence is deafening. I felt a bit better now, but i can't seem to fall asleep. I sat up immediately and look myself in the mirror.

"Her clothes, I'm still wearing her clothes." I muttered facepalming

I went back to my bed and pulled up my blanket. Geez, I can smell her through this clothes.

My heart started to ache as flashbacks from lastnight came to my thought.

Thank God, I got home safe lastnight.

I shooked my head from my thoughts.

"Can you stay away from my head? " I muttered as if I'm talking to Juno

"God, let me atleast rest just for an hour. " I said through my pillow forcing myself to shut down

...

A knock woke me up from my deep slumber. I opened my eyes and saw Lhem entering my room.

"Nessa. How are you? " he exclaimed checking my temperature

"I feel so much better now. " I replied sitting down

"Why are you sick? I'm not used being in class without you. " he said sighing

"Geez. It's just for 1 day. What am I, your mom." I teased while laughing at him

"Will you be at school tomorrow then?" he asked putting down his bag

"Yes, definitely. My fever is finally gone. I just need to rest it out a bit"

He nodded and was about to say something when someone knocked again on my room.

My mom leans in and smiles to Lhem.

"Come on, dinner's ready." she informed before going down

Lhem quickly stands up and offered his hand

I grabbed it and felt my world in a twirl after I stand up. Good thing he held me up. He made me sit on my bed again so I can recover.

"You want me to just get the food for you? " he asked a bit worried

"Nah, let's eat together." I replied assuring him that I'm fine

After a while we joined my mom and dad at the dining table. My mom is also close to Lhem's mother so Lhem is not a stranger to our home.

"I went up to your room earlier but you're still sleeping." my dad said outloud

"I slept for the whole day. My head aches a bit." I replied eating my veggies

We talked a lot on dinner and Lhem even told my parents that I always sleeps in class.. My dad laughs expecting it. We had a great dinner, and with that, Lehm and I are back to my room after helping my mom clean the table.

"So by the way." Lhem said interrupting my thoughts

"Yes? " I replied not liking what he's going to ask

"Juno talked to me earlier after class. " he explained searching my face

"And? " I replied as my mood changes

"She asked me if you're alright." he uttered

I nodded as I checked my phone distracting myself.

"So how did it go yesterday?" he asked scooting over

"I really don't wanna talk about it." I sighed making him pout

He still waited for me to speak. I can see his anticipation at the corner of my eyes.

"Okay, okay. We cleared things out yesterday. We agreed to avoid each other from now on. So now, I need to delete her from my memory so I'll be at peace." I explained

Lhem was a bit surprised hearing my words.

"I thought you're both okay seeing her so worried about you." he exclaimed

I shaked my head. I was about to say I'm with her in her house last night and she's probably just worried if I got home safe or not. I didn't went to school after all, so she might thought I've been abducted or something.

"Let's just not talk about her anymore. " I muttered sighing

Lhem nodded and didn't talked about her again. After that, he shared a lot of funny stories about the class today making me laugh. He's trying to cheer me up and I appreciate it very much. I'm glad he's here.

Lhem went home after his Dad picked him up. But I'm still bothered about what he said earlier. Juno is worried. She's worried.

'I wish we met on different circumstances'.

'I wish you are not my students.'

'I don't wanna go with out you'

'take a picture, it will lasts'

Everything that she said is coming back on my mind. Dang it. How will I forget about her. How can I not think about her at all. Now I hate to go back to school.

I slapped my pillow realizing that intramurals will be held nextweek. Just 6 days ahead. I will be with her for 2 days straight because of the games. Great. How will I survive?

I can't sleep that night over thinking. I need to ask Patrick tomorrow to swap me with the other players.
