low blood sugar

kaitlyn's pov

bri and i are at the mall today with paisley. it's my first time meeting her and she seems really nice.

i suddenly start to crave a starbucks pink drink so we stop by the mini kiosk in our mall so that i can satisfy my craving.

there's a really attractive guy working. i try to look at his name tag but it's blank. i stare at him intensely as he takes orders.

i get so zoned out that this annoying karen behind me tells me to move up in the line.

"what can i get you ladies to drink today?" the cute boy asks us.

"i'll take a venti salted caramel latte with no whip." paisley orders first.

"and for you?" he turns his head to look at brielle.

"i'll take a tall iced water with a bacon, egg, and gouda breakfast sandwich." she orders next.

"and for you too?" he says to me but i'm too zoned out to respond.

"hello? earth to katie." bri waves her hand in front of my face.

"huh?" i look at her with tired eyes.

"hey, girl, are you okay?" paisley steps in front of me.

"i'm feeling pretty ill." i squeeze my eyes shut.

"let's sit you down." bri grabs me a seat while paisley pays.

"i'm getting her a water and a cake pop. she most likely needs sugar." paisley mentions.

"girl, you okay? this is so unlike you." brielle puts her hand on my shoulder for support.

"i feel all dizzy and sweaty. did it just get hot in here?" i start to lose my breath.

"hey, are you okay? i'm sorry to intrude but i overheard your conversation and i watch a lot of grey's anatomy and house so i think you have low blood sugar or you could possibly be diabetic." a young looking blonde haired boy says to me.

"i have low blood sugar issues. i've been hospitalized a few times because it got so bad to the point where i was having seizures." i mention and bri looks shocked yet also disappointed.

"you should've told me. seizures are no joke. my father has seizures all the time. i know how to care for a person who's having a seizure." she rubs my back.

"again, i'm sorry to intrude. i do not want to assume or falsely diagnose you but i watch a lot of shows about doctoring." he smiles at me.

"no, thank you for looking out for me. i really appreciate it. it's not often that strangers help another stranger out. i'm katie, by the way!." i thank the boy and introduce myself.

"i'm cody." he puts his hand out for me to shake.

"i'm brielle and that's paisley over there." bri introduces herself to cody.

"much respect for your friends here, katie. you're lucky to have such supportive individuals in your life. i just wish i had that." he admits and lowers his head in sadness.

"hey, you could always be our friend." paisley tells him as she comes back with our orders.

"i didn't mean to make any of you feel bad for me. i just wanted you to know how lucky you are." he apologizes.

"nonsense. come sit with us. you're one of us now." paisley invites his to stay.

"if you insist." he agrees.

after the mall, we invite cody to come with us to the sway house. of course it was bri's idea.
