"ACHOO!"
"Ugh, Henry. They're going to make you go home if you keep that up." Charlotte said, clearly irritated. The sick boy next to her refused to take a day off school, because he knew if he took the school day off, then his parents wouldn't let him go to work.
"I know. I hate being sick." Henry replied, sniffling and sounding extremely congested.
Later that day…..
Henry had made it through the school day, but just barely. Luckily in gym class they were playing dodgeball, which was made easy for him because of his hyper motility. He felt worse then ever, but wouldn't show it because Ray wouldn't let him go with him if there was a crime committed.
"Yo Ray, what's up?" Henry asked.
"Not much, and why do you sound all weird?" Ray asked with a questioning expression on his face.
"Uh, puberty." Henry replied.
"Awkward."
"Yeah, let's definitely talk about something else." Henry said. Then he sneezed. And slammed into the wall on the other side of the room.
"What the heck just happened?" Ray said, shocked.
"Ummm…" Henry said, unsure of what happened himself. He picked himself up off of the floor, immediately sneezed again, and slammed head-first into the elevator doors. Ray ran over and stood over him.
"What's wrong with you?" Ray asked, completely confused. He'd never seen Henry do anything like this before. "I think you better stay there for a minute, or you're just going to run back into the other wall!" Ray said.
"Uh, I think you're right." Henry said.
"What's going on with you?" Ray asked.
"Well, honestly, I have been starting to feel sick for the last couple days, but I kept going to school so that my parents would let me come here for work, and now I have no idea why I'm running into walls whenever I sneeze. Apparently being sick is affecting my hyper motility." Henry answered truthfully. He was still laying on the floor and didn't feel like getting up to run into another wall.
"Just go home Kid. Maybe this will pass overnight." Ray said kindly.
"Ugh, fine. But don't go fighting too many bad guys without me." Henry said, standing up and trying not to sneeze. He got in the elevator and pushed the "Up" button. Ray heard "Ouch!" immediately after he heard another sneeze. Ray felt bad for him, but couldn't help but laugh.
