Ch1: Unsure Illness

I woke up to find Shiori glaring at me from my bedroom door. "What in the

world were you doing last night?" she asked, pointing at the mess of paper

and textbooks on the floor. "I was doing my homework," I replied. Here I was,

a college student, and I'm STILL being told what to do. "Serenity, you're twenty-one years

old and you still-" She coughed loudly and collapsed. "Oh god...Shuuichi! Are you up

yet? Where's that fourteen-year-old when you need him!" I yelled, helping Shiori down

the stairs. After getting her something to drink, I went back upstairs. Shuuichi

was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

"Hey!" I yelled. He jumped and swallowed the tooth paste. (It was fluoride-free.)

"What did you do that for!" he yelled.

"I think your mom is ill with a cold. I've already schedualed an appointment," I said hurriedly, going to my room.

"I'm going too!"

"No, you're going to school for the year-end test! The bus is coming. I'll pick you up after school,okay?"
