The Astronomy Teacher

Sick Day

6:50am- I sat in the garage waiting for my friend robbie to come over. We would ussually leave at 7am but hes coming early so we can drop a tab together before school. I suddenly feel my stomach curl around itself. I push it down as just excitment.
I hear the gate creak open signaling to me that robbie was here.

"Oh well look who it is." i say with a heavy smirk on my face as he stumbles tiredly into the garage.

"shut it." he shoots a glare at me as he hands me scissors.

I cut the tab in half and we each take a peice as we walk out the door. Heading to school.

7:40- I'm starting to feel the effects of the tab as i sit down in astronomy. My stomach is heavily turning and i feel vomit start to crawl up my throught. in a panic i shyly ask my teacher to use the bathroom. He respondes with some joke i didnt hear as i turned and ran to the bathroom as fast as i could.

Mr.S Pov
I smile as I see madii walk through the door. Yet her smile wasnt as large as it ussually was. She plopped down in her seat with a heavy sigh. She stood and asked to go to the bathroom. I laugh and tell her that she doesn't need to ask because this was her time. Although she left as soon as i said anything. Worry set over my face as i resisted the urge to chase after her and see if she was okay.

Madii's Pov.

the visuals were insain. i hunched over the sink i just puked in and stared at my face in the mirror. My blue curly hair looks beautiful as it swirls around my pale face. my blue eyes were hard to see as my pupils were the size of dinner plates. after i puked i started to feel better. so i rinsed my mouth and went back to class. I was embarresed that my teacher had seen me in such a state. since school started i had a small crush on him. He was younger than most of the teachers here. Probably around 23. He had bright green eyes and curly red hair. He was 6'5", a giant compared to my 5'2" height. I plunked down in my desk tired out from puking. A Euphoric feeling washed over me and patterns swirled around on every object. Geometric patterns swirling around every surface i looked at.

i was startled out of my daze as Mr.S sat down on the table next to me. Placing a hand on my shoulder he asked with a soft, deep voice if i was feeling okay. The Acid made my body very sesitive and his hand on my shoulder felt like fire.

"I'm feeling sick" i said trying to avoid eye contact, hoping he couldnt see my dialated eyes.

"would you like to go to the nurse?" he said' leaning in closer and catching my eye. Realization set in as he stared into my blown eyes. He stood with a sad sigh. "Ill walk you down." he picked up my bag and put his hand on the small of my back slightly pushing me out the door.

The planetariam was outside. And as soon as we stepped out into the warm morning sun he pulled me to the side.

"Are you on acid?" he said with a surious tone. His hands held the side of my arms and i was pulled in close so he could whisper low enough so the cameras coudlnt pick up on it.

"i-i uh what would you do if i was?" i asked feeling cocky from the tab.

He let out a sigh. "madii, i understand okay. i used to do tabs at school even when i was teaching. but there are times for everything okay? i know youre smarter than this." His grip on my arms loosened and i thought i could feel him pull me slightly closer. I was taken aback by the personal confession. But i guess i understand just from talking to him he seemed he had thought a lot about the emptiness of space.

He walked me to the nurses office and had me lay down while he talked to the nurse. My body feels tired and comfy yet i cant seem to close my eyes. the ceiling felt as if it was melting and my heartbeat was strong in my chest. Mr.S walked in a little while later with a sorrow look.

"so, youre dad said that he had to work until 11 tonight. so he cant come pick you up." He sat down close enough for our knees to bump together. "youre going to have to walk home. uhm, i know you may not be in the state to walk right now so... im going to give you my cell number just in case you need anything. I really hope you stay safe." he hands me a pass to leave school and on the back was his cell number. It was uncommon for teachers to give their numbers to students but it happens.

8:30- I finally stumble through the door. tired and sick but safe. The colors of the sky and the clouds were beautiful and im pretty sure i stared more at the sky than where i was going. I pulled out my phone, a little taken aback by the trippy wallpaper, and text the number Mr.S gave me.

To: Mr.S🖤
i got home safe. :)

i decide to take a shower and pamper myself. Hoping it can help me feel better. My skin smooth from just shaving and sexiest underwear on i watch rick and morty in bed.
