Hypnogogia

You wake up in the nurse's office. You sit up and groan. My head is killing me. There's a tray next to you. It has apple slices, cheese, bread, and some green drink in a cup. You nibble on the bread and blink to clear your eyes. They refocus and blur again. You shake your head and immediately regret it. There's a sharp pain in your head. You squint and finish the bread. As you grab a piece of cheese, someone says, "Oh! You're awake! How are you feeling?"

"Like crap." you reply. The pain is slowly fading away. "How'd I get here?"

"One of your friends found you passed out in the hallway. She brought you here."

"Why did I-?"

"Pass out? You need to take better care of yourself. You have an unacceptable degree of  sleep deprivation and low blood sugar for a teen from a well off family."

"Oh."

"You don't sound surprised at that."

"When can I go?"

"After you eat everything on that tray, you can leave."

"Do I really have to drink that green thing?" you ask. It looks like something died in there.

"Yes." You dump it out of a window when the nurse turns away. You eat everything else though. You are hungry after all. "You can leave, but take better care of yourself. Save the unconsciousness for university." The nurse scribbles something on a paper and hands it to you. Nurse's Office Name: (Y/n) (L/n) Time: It's a pass for the next class. You were out longer than you thought. Note to self- Take better care of myself. Collapsing is a big no-no. You stagger out of the nurse's office and lean against a wall. Maybe I should've rested more. You let out a long aggressive sigh. It's the type of sigh that empties your lungs of air and expressed your frustrations.

You walk into Mendeliev's class tired. "How nice of you to join us. Where are you coming from?"

"Nurse's office." you answer as you hand her your pass.

She glances at it and tells you to take a seat. You tune out her lecture and slump over in your seat. At least, I'll see Marc next class. I wonder what's making him so busy. I haven't seen him in forever. You watch as the clock ticks away.

Class couldn't end soon enough. You speed walk to Artis's class and sit down next to Marc. "Hey Marc! How's it going?" you ask.

"(Y/n)! W-what are you doing here?!" he stammers.

"We have this class together, remember?" you say confused. Did he forget? You're about to say something when Aurore approaches you both.

"You don't mind if I borrow your friend, right?" she says grabbing onto your arm.

"I-!" Marc starts before she interrupts him.

"Good! I'll return them the way I found them!" She drags you towards a different area of the room. "Miri, guess who I brought!"

You raise a hand and say, "Sup."

"I don't know about this Aurore..." Mireille trails off.

"You promised to let me help you get your confidence up for the KIDZ+ weather forecaster competition!" Aurore says. "That's why they're gonna draw you. So you can see how the whole world sees you!" I never agreed to... The look in her eyes kills any reservations you have.

"There's gonna be so many people competing though. I probably won't even make top ten."

"Not with that attitude! I'll be with you every step of the way! So don't bother worrying." The more you listen, the more you feel like you're intruding on something private. "And you!" Aurore is looking at you now.
