If Only There Was Hope

Kill me now

I squinted one of my eyes open only allowing a bit of sun to escape through. I waited for that eye to get used to light before opening the other one.

My head still hurt a bit but other than that I felt fine. I got up from my bed ignoring the numbness in my foot and trudged to the bathroom. I found the thermometer in the cabinet and stuck it under my tongue. A perfect 98.6

This means I can go back to school! Your probably thinking what kind of weirdo is happy to go back to school. Well, ever since I met Olivia I couldn't stop thinking about her. Moments of the day we met danced in my head every now and then.

I flashed back to our walk to the office together. My heart was thumping and as I looked in the mirror my face turned a tinted pink. I went into one of the stalls and locked door to allow the pink to retreat from my face. I couldn't risk Dylan seeing because he'll know. Dylan knows all. What would be even worse however is if Kyle saw me. Then again he would be to dumb to figure out what was actually happening.

I walked out of the stall and took my place at the mirror once again. My face was it's normal eggshell white once again.

I left the bathroom to see everyone else waking up from their sleep. Now that I see it from this angle it kind of looks like the dead being raised to life. Bodies slowly sitting up and multiple scattered moans from across the room. Now we know how they felt about school.

I scurried across the floor to greet Dylan for the day."Good morning" I said in a sing Singh tone.
"Good morning to you too. Someone's awfully happy. Is it because you get to stay home today?"
"What do you mean?" I asked giving off a slight nervouse chuckle.
"I mean..." He said putting emphasis on the mean. "When you have a fever you get to stay home the next day. Even if your temp is back to normal you have to stay home an extra day just in case it goes up again."

As those words escaped his lips and pierced me in the heart I flopped down on the bed coming to a startling realization. This means no School = no Olivia. I played their motionless letting my thoughts consume my mind.
"Hey buddy, are you alright?"Dylan asks as he waves a hand in front of your face.
"Earth to Levi!"
When I still have him no response however he lightly tapped my face which broke me out of my trance. I sat myself up, and shot him a weak smile.
"I'm fine. Now go get ready or your be late." I pushed him towards the bathroom door and shut it behind him.
As I walked back to my bed with my head held low I heard the bathroom door open and witnessed Dylan walking out.
"You didn't even let me get my stuff ready."
"Oh yeah."
He got a navy blue shirt and a pare of beige shorts and made his way to the bathroom.

I layed on my bed for a good 5 minutes until I stumbled upon an even greater realization. It was Friday and I wasn't actually going to see Charollete for 3 days. It was like my whole world had exploded in that one moment. The only thing that could get me through this weekend was the memories of the few moments we shared together. I pray it's enough. If not then just kill me now.
