The Love of Rain

Chapter 8 - Sick

Chapter 8 – Sick

“Ugh. I’d rather break my leg than go shopping. The only thing I will go shopping for is books and when I’m forced to,” Rain sniffled and coughed. Since yesterday she has been so sick, she vomited just about 50 million times in two days. Her nose was incredibly red and her voice was a bit off. Rain hasn’t gone to school either. But I still come to her after I’m done with all my homework. Her grandmother comes to check on her constantly about every five minuets. Which makes my job of being the hidden ninja in the closet hard.

            Rain and I were discussing about shopping. We somehow got onto this topic from talking about the movie Frozen, to this. I don’t know how we got here, but the conversation must go on.

            “How about chocolate?”

            “I got my secret stash right here,” she said, peering down to the box of chocolate under her bed. She took out a bar and held it in her hand hungrily.

            I snatched the bar from her hand and ate it myself. “Chocolate isn’t good for sick people,” I protested with a mouthful of chocolate. I gave her an innocent smile and kept on eating. “These are good. You should try them when you’re better. I might as well steal all of these bars for myself,” by saying that, I earned myself a glare from Rain.

            Rain rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “I’m not that sick. Now hand me a bar of chocolate,” her hand reached for the box, but was slapped away by me

            “Nice try, Rudolph. You ain’t getting any chocolate from here. Even if it’s yours. You’re sick and you need to watch your health. If those white blood cells of your s lose the battle, you’re dead. And what would I do without my chocolate supplier?” I joked and finished up the bar I took away from Rain. I walked over to the trashcan and threw away the rapper, keeping a close eye on Rain, making sure she doesn’t take the chocolate.

She groaned and made a sad face. I did a sad face in return and walked back over to the chair I was sitting on. A sneeze escaped Rain's nose as she covered her nose. "I hate being sick. This sucks so badly. Ugh!" As she finished her sentence, the door creaked open and I rushed to the closet.

Rain's grandmother announced that she was going to go get some groceries because they were running out and that she really needed the exercise. I chuckled at that part. When Rain’s grandmother walked out of the door, I got out of the burning, oven-like closet. It was getting hot in there, seriously. They need an air conditioner in there.

As I walked out of Rain’s closet I saw her reach for the chocolate. “No! No chocolate for you!” I scream as I run to her and take the chocolate. “More chocolate for me. Each time you pick a chocolate bar up I’ll just take it. So, don’t you dare take any chocolate, you hear me? Now, this one’s mine.” I grinned evilly as I watched her frown and glare at me.

“Just give me that bar of chocolate already! There’s a hungry girl in the room about to turn cannibal on you! I will eat you whole if you don’t give me something to eat! I’m hungry!” She pleaded and tried to grab the chocolate.
