Henry returned to their table minutes later looking a lot calmer if not just a little tense. Nobody asked what the outburst was about. Just then their waiter came and collected their commands and a few minuets later their food was delivered. For which Charlotte was very greatful. She was starving after missing breakfast that morning.

Charlotte was happy and ready to dig into her meal when a plate of bread and a bowl of sauce was passed infront of her. A strong scent of garlic and onions overwhelmed her senses and she felt her stomach lurch. She paused tried to breath in and still the feel, but only made it worse when all she got a lung fill of garlic and onions. Her stomach lurched again, flipping unpleasantly as a strong bout of nausea overwhelmed her. This time Charlotte did not resist, rushing out of her seat, ignoring  the alarmed calls of her friends as she rushed into the rest room. Which was thankfully not too far. She flung herself into the first stall she found and started heaving into the porcelain bowl.

----back on the the table--

"What the hell?"

"I will go check on her." Chloe offered leaving the table.

"Is it a trend to make dramatic exits from meal tables now? Tell me cuz I gotta keep up."

"Shut up Ray."

--------------

Chloe entered the toilet just to be greeted by the sound of dry heaving, before seeing her friend bent over the pot and immediately rushed to sooth the girl by rubbing her back. Once Charlotte was done she helped her up, flushing the toilet before leading her to the sink where the washed her hands and rinsed her mouth a few times. 

"Are you okay now Char?" Chloe asked worriedly as she handed the girl some tissue. Charlotte dabbed her teary eyes and mouth before giving her friend a reassuring smile through the mirror.

"Yeah. Thanks Chlo."

"I know I kinda forced you but you know you didn't have to come if you were sick." The girl chewed on her lips looking at her guiltily. When Charlotte had refused to hangout with them she should have known something was wrong. 

"Hey no. None of that. I'm sure it's just a bug or something from the street food I had the other day. Or was it the bad milk? I'm not sure anymore. My ass is too lazy to worry after I refused to refill the fridge this weekend," They both chuckled at this for it was true.

 For all her punctuality and orderly personality, Charlotte hated shopping of all kinds. Chalk it up for growing up with two boys as best friend. It was almost a miracle the girl had such good taste and dressed so well.

Chloe sobered up still looking guilty, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. I didn't even know till it acted up just now. I'm sure it will clear up in a few days. Don't worry," she reassured smiling and Chloe returned it felling a little better. "Let's go back before the others get unnecessarily worried."

"Okay."

"Hey Char you okay? What happened?" That was Jasper as soon as the got to the table.

"Nothing much. I think I caught a bug. It will pass soon."

"You sure? Now that I see it you've been looking really out of sorts. It can be serious," Ray observed worriedly.

She gave a small laugh, "That will be the stress from job searching and Junk 'n Stuff 'duties' shining through. You guys worry too much."
