Sean Cameron walked up to his longtime girlfriend, Emma Nelson, that morning, before class started.
"Hey babe," said Sean in an intimate voice.
"Hi Sean, what's up?" Emma asked.
"Not too much," Sean said with minimal feeling.
Emma looked at her boyfriend and noticed his, usually vibrant, blue eyes, were dull and listless.
"You look tired, what's wrong," Emma asked, in a voice full of concern.
"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep," replied Sean in a rushed voice.
Emma took his word for it, and grabbed his hand. "Do you want to come over or something tonight, I'll ask JT, and Manny over too.
"Okay, sounds cool," said Sean.
"Well I better get to class bye," said Emma as she kissed him on the cheek.
"See ya," replied Sean.
Emma starts off towards her homeroom class, when she runs into Manny.
"Hey, what's wrong," asked Manny.
"Nothing," said Emma, in a dazed voice.
"Em, we've been friends for way too long, for me to not know that something's not right," replied Manny.
"Well, I was just talking to Sean, and he seems so worn out. I'm worried about him," Emma replied.
"It's probably no big deal, maybe he just hasn't been getting enough sleep," answered Manny trying to reassure Emma.
"I hope so, Manny," replied Emma.
