Part 23: surprise!

'Now, could you tell me what's wrong, please?' Doctor Smith asked. 'I just...passed out a few times.' I said, while looking at the ground. 'Finn, look at the man while you're talking.' My mother whispered. I sighed and lifted my head. 'Have you been feeling dizzy lately?' The doctor asked. 'I don't know, I guess so.' I said, while staring at the clock. 'Do you eat well?' Smith asked, while writing something down on his notepad. 'Yes.' I answered. My head was pounding and my stomach hurt like hell. 'Well, that's not entirely true.' My mother said. I looked at her with a confused look. 'He barely eats any breakfast and his lunch always comes back untouched.' She said. The doctor wrote a few more things down and clapped in his hands. 'I think I see what the problem is here. You're a teenage boy and you're growing. But, mr. Wolfhard, people are just like cars. Without any fuel, they're not able to move - to grow. So, I would recommend you start eating more, Finn. Maybe use some more butter, anything with more fat could help you.' Doctor Smith said. I sighed and stood up from the chair. I can't believe I called in sick for this. My mother thanked the doctor and we walked out of the building. 'I told you, honey. You really need to eat more. And you also need to learn that you have to look at their faces when you're talking to someone.' My mom said, while opening the car. 'I know.' I said, while sitting next to her and plugging in my earbuds.

I sighed and looked at my skateboard standing in the corner of my room. 'Stay in bed, son.' My mother's words ringed in my head. Why can't I just go out for a bit? It's not like I have the flue or something. Or do I? I grabbed my phone and saw that I had 2 messages from Sophia.

Sophia: Hey Finn! Are you feeling a bit better? The cast misses you! X
Sophia: Hey? You still alive? Haven't heard from you all morning! Text me when you see this.

I laughed, before I typed my reply.

Finn: Hey Soph! No I'm not dead, but I feel like it. 'Stay in bed, bla bla bla.' I'm not allowed to do anything! I miss you guys too! X

It didn't take long for Sophia to reply.

Sophia: Oh, good! I thought Pennywise had taken you or something! Anyways, there's a package for you at your door. You should better take that, before someone steals it. (;

I raised an eyebrow and got out of bed. My mother can't get mad at me for taking a package, right? I walked down the stairs and avoided the squeaky planks. I softly turned the keys and opened the door. 'SURPRISE!' Sophia, Wyatt, Jaeden, Jeremy, Chosen and Jack yelled. 'What are you doing here?!' I asked, laughing. 'To cheer you up, of course! We brought some McDonalds!' Wyatt said. 'Come in!' I said, smiling. We walked up the stairs to my room and all sat down. 'Thanks, guys. You really didn't have to do that!' I said, while putting a French fry in my mouth. 'Of course we had!' Sophia said. I smiled and looked at my friends, resting my eyes on Jack slightly longer. He looked back at me, with a smile on his face. 'Well, we should better get going.' Jeremy said. 'Yeah, we kinda went here without mr. Muschietti knowing. We're on lunch break right now.' Chosen said, laughing. I nodded and smiled. 'Thanks again, guys. You really didn't need to do that.' I said. Everybody wanted to leave the room, except for Jack. 'You coming, Jack?' Jaeden asked. 'Yeah, you guys head out already, I have to use the bathroom really quick.' Jack said, while walking behind them. I turned on my back and closed my eyes. My headache was killing me. All of a sudden, I heard a knock on my door. 'Come in!' I shouted. Jack opened the door and stuck his head inside my room. 'Oh, hey. Can't find the bathroom?' I asked, sitting up straight. 'I don't need to use the bathroom.' Jack said, while sitting on the edge of my bed. I looked at him with a confused look. 'I just had to do something before I left.' Jack said. He planted a kiss on my lips, before leaving the room again. I laid down again, and with a smile on my face I drifted off to sleep.
