Cam woke up regular time for school but this time he didn't feel like himself.

His stomach was killing him he felt like he was going to puke any minute.

"Ugh, I got practice I can't miss another one, they'll think I'm faking again" Cam said to himself.

He got dressed and went downstairs to find some Pepto to last him throughout the school day.

He poured some milk and swallowed the Pepto.

His House Mom was sitting in the Family Room drinking coffee.

"Cam, you okay in there? Bus is almost here" she said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Almost ready" Cam said back to her.

Cam left the house in a hurry so she wouldn't suspect anything.

He got to school and met up with Maya.

Cam had been getting sick all week and Maya could sense it.

But, she never really told him.

It was Friday and Cam had one of his big hockey games to play in.

Cam walked up to Maya's locker with a flushed look on his face.

He was coughing violently.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" Maya asked him.

"Yeah, fine why?" Cam asked and continued to cough.

"You don't look like yourself today and you're coughing" Maya said.

She was scared to tell him she knew he was sick.

"I'm fine. Just allergies" Cam said, lying to Maya.

"You have allergies in December?" Maya said suspiciously.

"Cam, you're sick" Maya said and reached her arm out to feel his forehead.

"You have a fever. Let's go. You have to go home" Maya said.

"Maya! I'm fine. I have a game tonight, if I'm not in school then I can't play" Cam yelled and started coughing.

"But, you're sick. You can't play hockey if you're sick! It's going to make you worse" Maya explained to Cam.

Cam groaned at Maya.

"You've gotta get home. I'll take you to the nurse" Maya said.

"Fine" Cam said.

"Your health is important" Maya said.

Ironically, Cam's House-Mom was home for the day!

Cam just kept coughing. He couldn't stop.

Maya dropped him off at the nurse and explained to her what was wrong.

She kissed him on the head and left to go to her first class.

Cam sat in the Nurses office, he felt dizzy.

"Campbell Saunders, first time I've seen you in here" the Nurse said.

Cam just nodded.

"Let me get your contact information. Is anyone home right now?"

"My house mom" said Cam in a hoarse voice.

"Alright, let me take your temperature first before I do anything"

Cam was scared, he just wanted to go home so he could rest and get to the game on time.

She took out the thermometer and placed it in his ear until it beeped.

"101, let me call home" the Nurse said.

Cam was angry, but glad to be going home.

The nurse finally called Cam's house mom.

All Cam heard was "He's got a fever, can you please come get him from school?"

He started yawning, and zoning out while the Nurse was talking to him.

"Cam? Cam?" Cam heard someone calling his name.

It was Maya.

"Hey, I asked to go to the bathroom. Just wanted to check on you" Maya said with a smile on her face.

"I'm going home, my house mom is on her way" Cam said.

"Good!" Maya said, relieved.

Cam just looked at her.

She could tell he felt horrible.

He started coughing.

"I'll be over right after school!" Maya said.

Cam just nodded.

Maya left.
