"ETHAN IS SO CUTE, oh my god. So last night, he took me to this adorable little diner and-"
"Mhm." I nod as Hanna speaks at the lunch table.
"We did that corny ass shit when you get the tall milkshake and you share it with two straws- ya know what I mean? Right?!"
"Yes, Hanna. I know what you mean." I groan as she continues to babble about her first date with Ethan.
"Yeah! He is just a sweetheart and- OH, GUESS WHAT?" She speaks in a fast pace.
"What?" I rest my head in my hands and yawn.
"After the diner, we went to his apartment and we watched movies and- wait you don't seem very interested in my story." Hanna tilts her head.
"No, it's fine. Just continue.." I yawn again and close my eyes.
"Are you feeling alright? You look pale." Hanna asks concerned.
"I'm fine-"
"No, you most certainly are not fine. You are literally burning up. I think you have a fever.." She interrupts me while placing her hand on my forehead and then to my cheek.
"Bitch, you are going home. Now." She grabs my hand and brings me to the school nurse.
We go to the nurse and she takes my temperature. 102 degrees. The nurse then tells me to call my mom to take me home
I dial her number and wait for her to answer. One ring after another. Still no answer.
Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system-
Fuck. Now what.
Hanna drove me to school today, so I don't have a car here. Hanna can't drive me because she is not allowed to leave school grounds.
"Couldn't I just walk home?" I sniff through my stuffy nose.
"I'm afraid not, sweet heart. Is there anyone else you could call?"
Anyone else?
