As Anna Lena got to the door she took a sharp intake of breath and swayed.
"Are you alright Anna?"
"Yes, just a dizzy spell."
She hurried down the corridor to her next lesson but just a few minutes later it happened again. Anna fell hard into a chair.

Abigail woke with a stabbing pain in her head, again. Maybe she shouldn't have watched Star Trek until two in the morning, It was always worse when she was up late. But not always the same. Sometimes the headaches clouded her mind and she wouldn't know what was going on, once or twice they immobilised her, but that was rare and nothing to do with staying up late, she knew that. She'd have to rely on painkillers for today though.
