"You okay?" Rubber Band asked. "You normally aren't this quiet."

Olly stopped poking his food with his fork. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked at Scissors. "You okay? You look a little pale."

"Y-yes, I'm fine...I think." He stood up. "I'll just...go to the nurse-" He collapsed to the floor.

"Scissors!" Hole Punch said, getting up and running over to him. "Scissors?"

Scissors slowly pulled himself off the floor. "I-I'm fine..."

"No you're not!" Colored Pencils exclaimed.

Olly noticed Scissors was holding his side. "Are you okay?!"

"I-I don't know...I feel awful..."

"I knew it!" Tape said. "As soon as we say somethin', one of us gets hoit! I'll take ya, Scissors." He helped Scissors stand.

Olly grabbed Scissors' sleeve. "It's my fault!"

They looked at him.

"My dad told me not to make friends anymore just for this reason! I didn't listen and now Scissors is hurt!"

"T-Tape...please hurry. I feel faint again..."

Tape quickly left with Scissors, glancing back at Olly as he left. "Trust no one, I told ya."


Olly stopped in front of the doors to the nurse's office. Scissors hasn't been in class all day since lunch and Olly was worried. He opened the door and a pink female Toad greeted him.

"Hello, Olly!" She put her hand on his forehead. "You don't seem to have a fever...why are you here?"

"I actually came to see if Scissors was alright."

"Oh, we had to bring him to an actual Hospital."

Olly dropped his school books. "Which one?"

"Mushroom City Healthcare services."

"Thank you!" He bowed. "Have a good day, Ma'am!"

"Oh, you too! I hope your friend gets better!"
