AT SCHOOL
Manny walks up to Darcy.
"Hey, where's Peter? I haven't seen him all day" she said.
"He's sick. Poor baby, I was just at his house" Darcy said.
"Awl, what's wrong with him?" Manny asked.
"I'm not sure. It's probably just a bad cold. He walked home in the rain yesterday from my house. He has no voice, he's been coughing and his fever is high. I prayed for him though, so he should be okay" Darcy explained.
"That stinks. Well, I'm going to be late for class. So, I'll catch up with you later! Bye" Manny said as she walked away from Darcy.
Darcy spent the whole day in class, then power squad then she texted Peter.
"Hey. How are you feeling baby?" she said.
"The same" Peter texted back.
"Awl, I would stop by again but I have homework and studying to do. I'm sorry!" Darcy said.
"It's okay. Once is enough for today. I just keep sleeping, I'm so tired" said Peter.
"I hope you're not too sick" said Darcy.
"It's probably a bad cold my mom said" Peter said.
"Hopefully!" said Darcy.
Mrs. H entered.
"Hey, you have a visitor" she said.
Peter was confused. Darcy had just said she couldn't come, but maybe it was a surprise.
They walked in.
It wasn't Darcy. It was Manny.
"Hey Manny?" Peter tried to say.
"Whoa, Pete you don't sound good at all. Darcy was right" said Manny.
Peter was still confused. Did Darcy send her?
He just coughed.
"Darcy told me you were sick, so I decided I'd stop by and help out" said Manny.
She sat down on his bed.
"There's not much to do" he said in a voice that could barely be heard.
"Well I just figured I'd try to help" said Manny.
She leaned in to Peter trying to kiss his head.
Peter put his hands up.
In between coughing he said, "What are you trying to do?"
"You're sexy when you're sick" said Manny.
Peter kicked his covers and woke up.
It was only a dream. Thank God.
Peter was drenched in sweat.
