A million dollar for a smile 1

Paige woke up with a headache and fever. She called Carlien over and the latter came and checked her temperature.

''You have a fever, Paige.'' Carlien said and sighed as she sat by the bed. Paige had covered herself with her blanket.

''It must be because I ran out of the house when it was raining.''

''You're so stupid. Who runs out into the rain because a guy wants to kiss her? Couldn't you have stayed till it stopped raining?'' Carlien scolded her.

''I couldn't stay with the way Mirabel looked at me, as if she wanted to kill me.''

''So, you would rather catch a cold than stay?''

''I was nervous too. My first kiss was ruined, shouldn't you be sympathising with me?'' Paige said and Carlien chuckled.

''Do you know how worried I was when I got your call and noticed the change in your voice?''

''I didn't want my dad to get worried. You mustn't tell him that I'm sick, okay?''
