Chapter 5
As I finished my last lap I started to feel a little queasy but I pushed through it and went back in the gym to start stretching. Dimitri set up the sparing lines and we got into our fighting stances. We started circling each other, I saw him lean into a punch, I was about to lift my hands in defense when my stomach clenched up. While I was thinking "maybe I shouldn't have that third donut" Dimitri's fist connected with my jaw and everything went black-for about ten seconds. I opened my eyes, my jaw was pounding but all I could think about was that those donuts I had were about to make a second appearance. I put my hand over my mouth and ran into the locker room straight to the bathrooms. I think I heard Dimitri call my name but I needed to puke now. I was emptying the contents of my stomach when I heard the door open and Dimitri frantically call my name. He came into the stall just as I was finishing puking my guts out. I looked at him wiping my mouth. Dimitri was looking at me with fear in his eyes.
"Roza, are you ok? I didn't know I hit you that hard. I'm so-" I put my hand up to stop him.
"You didn't hurt me. I've been feeling off all morning, I thought eating would help, but it obviously didn't. When we were going around about to spar it was too much and I got distracted so I missed the block and I felt like I was going to puke so I did." I finished talking a looked at him he still looked worried.
"Are you ok now?" he asked.
"I'm alrig-" in the middle of the sentence bile came up my throat and I turned back to the toilet. I finished and turned back to him. Apparently I was not alright.
"Let's go." He said taking me back to the gym.
"Where are we going?" I asked but I already knew the answer.
"The nurse." I stopped and dug my feet into the ground.
"Not going to happen Comrade." I stared at him letting him know I was serious; he did the same until he gave up.
"If it doesn't get better by the end of the day you're going, even if I have to drag you there myself." I sighed knowing I wasn't going to win this one.
"Fine." I said through clenched teeth.
"I'm going to let Mrs. Kivora know to excuse you from class today so you can rest. No leaving your room ok?" He was using his serious voice so I knew there was no getting out of it.
"Fine!" I said again and I stormed out to my room without saying goodbye.
