chapter forty two

the next day Nick wasn't feeling well but still went to meet Joan to apologise, when he got to campus and saw Joan, before he could approach her

"Nick what are you doing here? you didn't come to class and you look sick" Leticia said

but Nick turned to Joan before he could move Leticia held his hand and he hissed a little

"are you hurt let me see" Leticia said and tried to up his sleeves but he stopped her.

Joan wanted to see Nick and reconcile with him, so that everything will go back to the way it has always been but when she saw him,

she saw Nick and Leticia talking and out of the blue Leticia held Nick's hand

when Joan saw him with her holding his hand she was annoyed and walked away.

"not again" Kimmy murmured

"I thought you wanted to talk to him" Kimmy said to Joan

"maybe not now" Joan said

"I think he doesn't look good, he seems sick" Kimmy said as she turned to look at Nick

and Joan turned towards him too

"yes he is pale and he looked weak, poor Nick you didn't spare him a glance, oh I forgot this is an opportunity for Leticia to creep into his heart, she will play the role of a perfect girlfriend as she takes care of the sick Nick. OMG this is the perfect way to fall in love" Kimmy said excitingly

Joan stood there for a while and left, later she went to Nick's house and when the door opened indeed Leticia was there

"what are you doing here" Leticia asked

but Joan welcomed herself in

she saw Nick on the sofa and he pulled up

"who's that, " he asked with weak tone and his eyes closed, he opened it and saw Joan

"Joan??, am I dreaming" Nick said

Leticia came around

"Leticia, I saw Joan, I think this fever is getting the best of me" he said as he smiled and closed his eyes again

"Nick!!" Joan said

he opened his eyes and

"Joan! Joan! " he said as he tried to get up but Leticia held him down, he stretched his hand towards Joan signaling her to hold it. when she held him she noticed he was really hot

she came to his side and placed her hand on his forehead and she was shocked by how high his temperature was.
