Hey guys! So this is my first story ever. I love lab rats so much! It's my favourite television show! It's so funny and awesome! I really hope you like this; I worked pretty hard on it. Hope you enjoy it!
Chase's POV
My siblings and I have never gotten sick. We've been in the lab all our lives so no illnesses or viruses had affected us. Which I'm perfectly fine with to be honest. But since I've never gotten sick, my immune system isn't the strongest or most experienced. It doesn't really know how to fight against a virus. Not good. Getting sick was probably one of the worst experiences of my life. Maybe not the worst but it's definitely in the top ten. The flu is no laughing matter my friend.
Two weeks ago
Why do people have to be so loud? I mean, can't the students just shut up once in a while? My head is killing me and it's like a screaming fest at school. I haven't been feeling very well since I woke up this morning. My throat was sore, my head was killing me, and my nose has been runny all day. And let me tell you its really awkward blowing your nose in the middle of class... As much as I love school, I just really want to go home, but the day seems almost endless!
Finally the bell rings. I felt like screaming of joy but my throat was so sore I barely wanted to say anything at all. In fact, i actually spoke minimally today. My siblings think there's something wrong with me now.
Leo, Bree and I are waiting for Adam at his locker. For some reason, he isn't here yet. Which is odd considering he's always the first one ready to leave? He really hates school. I would too if I had a D- average in every single class. All of a sudden, he comes running and screaming towards us. Which by the way, really didn't help my headache. At that moment, i wanted to rip out his vocal cords.
"GUYS GUYS GUESS WHAT!?" he screamed out of breath.
"What?" Bree responded impatiently
"I told you to guess..."
I was beginning to get very annoyed with my siblings. Or everything actually.
"Adam, no one wants to guess! Now hurry up and get your things so we can leave!" I snapped at him. They all looked at me with wide eyes. I know it was rude and I know it's not like me but i just really want to go home and take a nap in my capsule.
"You're such a grumpy little troll today. What is up with you?" Leo asked a little harshly I might add.
"I'm just really tired ok. Can we just leave already?"
If I told them I wasn't feeling well, they would most likely make fun of me for being a wimp. Better leave at that.
"Ugh fine. Let's go."
We finally leave the school and walk home. Every step made my head pound, my throat burn and my stomach churn. I had absolutely no energy to walk. By the time we finally got home, I was completely out of breath. I drank a big class of water to south my burning throat, took some aspirin and went straight to the lab. When I get there, I see that nobody is there. Not Mr. Davenport or even Eddie! Other then the whirling sounds of the machines, it was completely quiet. I entered my capsule, closed my eyes, and let myself fall into deep slumber.
Bree's POV
What is up with Chase? I have never seen him so impatient and rude. And I've lived with him for 15 years! He's getting on my nerves, yet I'm kind of worried. I mean, is he ok? Is he mad at us? He can't be mad at Adam for not being at his locker as soon as the bell rung right? When we got home, he got something from the cabinet and a glass of water and went straight to the lab. I was debating on whether or not I should follow him and ask him why he's acting so weird until I finally decided it would probably be better if i just left him alone. For now that is.
While Chase was in the lab doing who knows what, Adam, Leo and I we're watching some stupid cartoons. Well, Adam and Leo were watching it. I was texting Owen. Have I mentioned how cute and talented he is? Gosh when is he just going to ask me out already!
About an hour later, Mr. Davenport comes through the front door with his usual cocky smile on his face.
"Hey guys" Mr. Davenport says as he waves to us.
Adam and Leo just grunt. Typical. I on the other hand actually say Hi. Mr. Davenport looks around with a confused look until he finally asks:
"Uh guys? Where's Chase?"
"When we got home, he went straight to the lab. I answered, and may I add how grumpy and different he was today."
Adam finally looks up.
"Yea, he was so rude. He didn't even want to guess!"
Mr. Davenport looked at him confused.
"Ignore him", I tell him
"Guess I better go check on him".
Chase's POV
I wake up from my nap feeling even worst then before. I didn't even know that was possible! My throat was so dry, I was freezing yet I was all sweaty and worst of all, my stomach was killing me. All of a sudden, I feel something com up my throat. I get out of my capsule and run to the garbage. I puke out everything I've eaten all day. It was disgusting. I hear the lab doors open but i can barley look up to see who it is before round two starts. I could barley breath. About 10 minutes later, I finally stop puking. I can feel someone watching me. I look up to see Mr. Davenport frozen in place, looking at me with worry. I give him a weak smile. That's when he finally jumps into action.
"Oh my god! Chase are you ok?!"
"Not exactly..."
He grabs my arm but almost immediately lets it go. He puts his hand of my forehead.
"Chase you're burning up! And you're all sweaty!"
"I know Mr. Davenport..." I said in a low whisper.
I hear the lab doors open again only to see my siblings walk in.
"EW! What's that smell!?"
