Sunday

C

It's been a week since Zach's grandmother's burial. Next week will be Sunday's play.

And it has been three days since Sunday has not been feeling very well. She would always wake up feeling nausea, would vomit then and now, always sleepy, and would eat a lot.

I mean, she is an eater but she eats like a bull now. She too also became too moody to handle.

Sunday went out of the washroom and glared at Alex."What? My stomach is hurting."

"I'm just worried,Sunday. It's been days since you're being like this. You can't also be pregnant because you have no boyfriend. No offense." Alex smiled. "So, I have no idea why you're always puking your brains out."

"It could be indigestion. I mean, have you seen her eat?" Jack suggested. "She eats like a man. At Zack's grandmother's funeral, it was like she doesn't even want to share the food to the other guests.

"Or it could be gastroenteritis. Stomach bugs for short." Zack added.

"Or acid reflux." Rian said.

Jack nodded. "Yes. That's right. I remembered when I was 10, I had acid reflux. Man, I went to the hospital. I stayed the night."

Sunday wiped her mouth. She felt like she needed a drink. "I need water."

"Starting this day, Sunday. You're not allowed to drink alcohol, sodas, and eat oily foods." Alex scolded. "And, go see a doctor tomorrow."

"Fine, mother." Sunday rolled her eyes.

The next day, Sunday ditched second period to go to a doctor. He did not really gave her some medicine. He just advised her to not stress and always take a good, long rest.

After leaving the clinic, she went straight home. She was so tired and sleepy. She didn't want to see anybody at the moment, anyway.

On the way, she bought three orders of chopped egg salad and two cups of Berries Sensation at Koba Café.

Like what her friends say, she's a big eater.

Later that evening, her friends visited her at her house. She was dressed in a baggy hoodie and some sweats from Grade 12. It still fits.

She was watching Before Sunrise. She cried at the scene where the two characters were having a conversation while lying on the grass. For her, the scene is very touching and sad.

"Hey lameass. You never told us that you were going to ditch the whole class." Alex said when they entered the house.

Sunday wiped her eyes. "I just didn't want to tell you. I mean, I ordered food, ate them all by myself. I didn't want to share."

"Selfish! Anyway, I'm gonna go get something to eat on the fridge, okay?" Jack informed her.

"Whatever. You don't have to ask."

Zack took a sit beside Sunday on the couch. "How's your visit to the doctor?"

"It was fine." Sunday responded.

"What do you mean by fine?" Rian questioned.

"Acid reflux. You were right. I just need to rest and stop eating food with high acidity or whatever." Sunday shrugged.

Tomorrow, she and the other theatre members will cast the characters. There will be an audition tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon at the gym.

"Hey. I can't be with you tomorrow afternoon. I have castings and meetings for the play." Sunday told them as she began to feel sick. Her friends sent her nods of agreement. "If you want to audition, you can."

"Yeah. No thanks."

"Drama is not for me."

Sunday sent them a glare and rolled her eyes. "I said if you want."

Rian laughed. "I'm hungry. Can someone order food?"

Jack agreed. "Yeah. I'm craving for some pizza."

"Somebody call Zella's. I have no balance left." Alex said.

Zack took out his phone and dialed Zella's Pizzeria. "Hello. Good evening . . . Yes. I would like to order two meatza pizza and one Hawaiian. Oh. And 5 grilled cheese . . . Yeah. That's all . . . 405 West Redwood. Zack Merrick . . . Thanks."

Sunday groaned. "I just ate."

Alex looked at her with disbelief. "When did you ever complained, Sunday Marie? You never complain."

Zack frowned. "Yeah. And I ordered Hawaiian all just for you."

Jack stood up and hugged Zack. "Yeah. You hurt Zack's feelings, Sunday. Apologize. Now!"

Sunday laughed and shook her head. Suddenly, her stomach growled and she came running to the restroom to puke.

After she was done, she came out of the restroom with sleep taking over her mind.

"Have you taken your medicine?"

Sunday wiped her mouth and walked to the couch. "I have n---yes. I already did. And I'm sleepy all of the sudden." Sunday yawned.

"Take some zzz's, then." Jack commented. "We'll just wake you up when the food's here."

"Yeah. Okay. Thanks. I'll just be in my room." Sunday walked up to her room as the boys continue to watch the movie playing.
