Brain's POV

Sue Ellen and I were still fighting when the symptoms started. Shaking, cold sweats, nausea, vomiting—I had it all. I needed someone to help me so I could finish my homework and stay well.

I had no choice but to call Sarah. She was my lab partner and nothing more. So we hung out outside of class. I had to have a social life.

She took care of me, brought me through the worst. I was grateful for her, so grateful, but she was no Sue Ellen. I hope Sue Ellen realizes that, but right now, I'm too sick to worry about much else.
