Volume 3: Nineteen.

Jemmy's POV.

The next day, I got to school a little late as I was not feeling too well earlier.

And as always, my Dad didn't allow me to leave the house until our family doctor had performed a check-up on me.

Only when she said I was fine did my dad Finally let me leave the house.

I got to school just in time for the commencement of the morning lesson.

Stacy was already there but Essy was not.

" Hey. " I greeted Stacy as I took a seat beside her

" Hey, Jemmy! You arrived late today." She commented in a questioning tone.

" Yeah. I wasn't feeling too well earlier so.. "

" Okay. I hope you are feeling a lot better now? " She said placing her palm on my forehead to feel my temperature.

" I am. " I assured her.

" Okay. "

" So where's, Essy? " I asked her looking around.

" I don't know. She hasn't arrived yet. "

" That's weird, she often arrives early to school. "

" True. I am wondering what's going on with her. "
