Sick day

I wasn't feeling right.

When I woke up the next morning I rushed to the bathroom to get ready for school.

It came after I brushed my teeth. Something was in my throat. I rushed to the toilet and puked up a boot.

Lucky enough Angelica came to take care of me. Angelica puts a thermometer in my mouth after I stopped puking. 102.7! That was a fever.

"Well October I can't send you to school with a fever and I have errands to run." Angelica states.

Teresa walks in the bathroom.

"I can take care of him." Teresa suggested.

"That's sweet, but-" Angelica started.

"I always wanted to be a nurse. Please." Teresa begs.

"I can't say 'no' to you. I will leave numbers in case of emergencies." Angelica says.

"Okay." Teresa replies.

With Angelica gone it made me worry about what could happen since Teresa and I are alone. Teresa hands me a bowl.

"What is this?" I question.

"It's something that I've made." Teresa replied.

"You did something to it, didn't you?" I ask.

"Just try it October." Teresa demanded.

I took the spoon and took a bite of the food.

"Oatmeal with honey?" I asked.

"You spent the night at my house and had breakfast." Teresa replied.

"Teresa why are you being so nice to me?" I asked.

"I wanted to start over. If I changed, then maybe you would too. It turned out I was-" Teresa answered.

"Right." I agreed.

"What?" Teresa questioned.

"I said 'you were right.'" I say.

"But why?" Teresa asked.

"Put you and myself together. We aren't two peas in a pod. We are cat and mouse, but if we change then we wouldn't be in this chase game." I reply.

"Friends?" Teresa asks.

"Friends." I agreed.

We shook on it.
