My chapters won't be super long. Some might, some won't.
This is one that won't.
It was October 29th. Not a special day. Except that it was Peter's mock exams. Mock's are something that decide what paper you're gonna do which, in turn, decides where you'll go after GCSE's. Peter was sat doing his AP CHEM exam. MJ was the seat next to him. The hall was very cold. In fact, it was so cold that Peter was shivering before the exam even started. He sat at his desk and began his exam. MJ had her thick hoodie on and looked rather comfortable. Peter had finished the first page out of 6 and already felt really cold. His fingernails were beginning to turn blue. He cast a look over at MJ, even she was shivering. Peter pulled his hands up the sleeves of his jumper and curled up as tight as he could. Peter managed to finish 5 pages before he felt really tired.
He yawned, really big, and the motion sent him into a longer yawn. Ned cast a look over his shoulder and then turned back. Peter shivered again and brought his arms into his sides. He put his head on the table and felt his eyes slowly close.
MJ looked over at Peter and was mildly concerned. He yawned really big and then shivered really violently. He curled in on himself and then put his head on the table. MJ, finished with her exam, crumpled up a bit of paper and flicked it at Peter's ear. He didn't move, nor flinch. MJ grew more concerned. When the bell rang, shrill and loud, singling the end of the exam, Peter still didn't move. MJ got up out of her seat and shook his shoulder. His head lolled to the side, but he still didn't move. MJ waved a teacher over. "Uh... he's not waking up." She commented. The teacher gave her a dry look. "I'm aware of that Miss Jones. Help me try to wake him up." By now, the only people in the hall was Ned and MJ. A few teachers had stuck around out of concern. MJ couldn't see his chest moving. She grabbed her mirror out of her bag and put it under Peter's nose. Nothing came back. "Uh... he's not breathing." The teacher immediately jumped into action. "Quick, Ned, Michelle push those tables out the way." They did so. They turned around and saw Peter being lowered to the floor. If MJ wasn't so 'observant' she wouldn't have noticed the small tremors running through his body. She took off her hoodie and laid it over Peter's chest. His shivers got worse. MJ felt his fingers. "His fingers are freezing... like... ice cold. Ned, take off your jacket and put it on top of Peter. Now!" Ned did. The teachers followed in suit. Slowly Peter's shivers died down. "I can take care of him. When he wakes up, I'll run him to the office." The teacher looked hesitant. "I'm fine. I'll be fine." Ned stayed behind and stared at MJ in concern. "Ned, go. Go and tell your maths teacher where Peter is. I'll text you when I'm done." Ned frowned but nodded. He walked off. MJ, when everyone was gone, began rubbing circles up and down her arms. She stood up and walked towards the big window. Deep in thought, MJ failed to notice Peter getting up.
Peter woke up with a pounding head and both cold and warm. He raised his head and saw MJ by the windows, back facing him. He stood up with a groan and clutched his head as the blood rushed to it, leaving him very light headed. He slipped on the first hoodie he grabbed, Ned's, and picked the other one up. He stumbled over to MJ and put her hoodie over her shoulders. She shot around and launched him in a hug. Peter stumbled back with a noise of surprise. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around her. She pulled back so quickly, Peter doubted if she was even there or if it was just an illusion. "Hey," MJ said. "Hey," Peter replied. MJ gently smacked his arm, "Idiot. I thought you'd died." Peter didn't answer but sighed. "I know. But... I can't thermo-regulate... it happens to me sometimes." MJ didn't say anything, But she looped her arm around his waist. He put his arm around her neck. "Come on, Looser. You need to go home. You're lucky that the teacher didn't call the ambulance. I managed to stop them. Just... be careful."
Together, the hobbled on to the nurse.
