The flu has been real bad here in the U.S. unless you live in Hawaii or Alaska. Which I'm not from. And guess what? I'm sick! I've been sick since Thursday, and today's Saturday. Today's been the best day, the day I had the most energy to write. And it's not the flu. I'm too lazy to go to the doctor also. Please think about your Senpai
D/j- dream job
-Y/N POV-
I'm the age that is still required to go to high school, even though I'm considered part of the team, I'm still required to go. All the other guys had either gotten a full education, dropped out, or gotten too busy with there training. But not for me. I was attending Ninjago High. The best place ever. Can you literally hear the sarcasm dripping from my words? I wanted to pursue my dream of being a d/j I had the grades and all the credits but my help protecting the city was needed. I came home Thursday in my 6th period class, (you have 8 periods a day, 5 before lunch, 3 after) I had lost my voice then. My throat was bothering me but I was still required to speak when absolutely necessary. I had ran out of water. And do you think I'll drink from the school's water fountain, are you crazy? That's a walking germ hub, take one sip, your a goner. Not literally but it was just really gross okay? So I touched it out until I got back to the Bounty. Discarding my stuff in the living room. Getting a glass of water, sitting down and just drinking it. It was cool against my throat, but hurt when I swallowed. I was barely talking to any of the boys. Which was rare, I was very talkative. I got a few of the usual,
"What's wrong?
Or
"Why are being quite?"
I finally told Zane because he would scan me before I could tell him.
"My throat...it's practically raw."
I whispered to him holding it.
He hugged me.
"It's going to be okay."
He walked me into my room, gave me some drugs (not as in Mary Jane or crack just allergy meds. Don't do Mary Jane children.)
"Thanks Zane."
I whispered as I lied in bed.
He hugged me once again.
"Your hugs are cold."
I whispered to him.
He laughed.
"What do you expect when my elect is ice and I'm made out of titanium."
I smiled at him.
"Goodnight Y/N."
He kissed my hot forehead, and walked out shitting off the lights. Leaving me to sleep. I was out.
I woke up a few times during the night just to breathe and roll over. Those breathing moments didn't make my throat any better. Morning came. It was Friday. I had to go to school. Sensei Wu came in and woke me up instead of one of the ninja. Weird.
"Feeling any better? Zane told me you didn't feel well."
I opened my mouth to breathe, that hurt, I nodded no. But, it was in the pitch black room at 6 in the morning so, I don't think he could see me nodding.
"No."
I told him. Holding my breathe as I spoke. My throat felt swollen shut yet, I could breathe.
"Well let's go eat some breakfast."
I was given a bagel for breakfast. (Sorry bagel haters, I think they are delicious)
The rest of the team was around the table eating breakfast, ready to start training for the morning. As I ate my breakfast every time I had to swallow something I dug my nails into my leg, because I was in so much pain. Kai and Lloyd sat next to me. I think they noticed, I didn't really care, I was too tired to care. I finally finished my breakfast, and headed to my room to get dressed. Throwing on a hoodie and a pair of jeans, just brushing my hair instead of styling it. I heard arguing coming from the kitchen.
"But Sensei! Have you seen her! She looks horrible!"
I rolled my eyes. It was probably about me.
I walked into the kitchen to retrieve my bags. I really didn't want to go to school today but Sensei never let me miss a day. Ever. Today was no exception. As I picked up my bags, they were taken out my hands. I looked but to see Cole, hanging them up.
"You are not going today kiddo."
I gave him a seriously look.
"Seriously."
Jay added. I looked at the lightning ninja. He smiled.
"But.."
I whispered.
"Nope you are staying here."
Cole said as he scooped me off the ground. I wanted to make mad protests but didn't. I was being carried. Better than waking.
"Get in your pajamas, then I'll sleep with you."
He left me get down and get into my pajamas, then I opened the door.
"Good,
He smiled
"I thought you might decline."
He smiled.
I crawled into bed. He shut off the lights. Joined me, laying on top of the covers instead of under. I questioned him, in my mind, but none the less I enjoyed the company. I rolled over a few times before drifting off again. A dreamless sleep. The door opening streaming light into the pitch black room.
"You can get up now."
Sensei announced to me.
Cole was up as with me. I sat up in bed. Cole left the room leaving me to get dressed into my sweat pants and oversized long sleeve shirt since it was winter. I made snuggled back into bed and pulled out my laptop scrolling the internet. It was 8:01 I slept for an extra 2 hours. And it felt amazing. I was scrolling through my various social media platforms. Just enjoying life.
"You never coming out or what?"
A boy with brown spiky hair asked, opening my door and closing it after his entry.
"I don't want to "contaminate" anything I don't have to."
I whispered to him.
He laughed his usual beautiful laugh.
"Eh none of us get sick very often so it's not any problem."
"Expect me."
I whispered.
He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah right."
He sat next to me in bed. He was radiating heat. I scooted close next to him, enjoying his warmth.
"You have a Twitter?"
I nodded.
"Legit. Can I?"
I nodded and handed him my laptop. After a few minutes, I received it. He tweeted on my page.
Hey, this is @toohottonot Y/N here is sick, show her some love.
My notifications exploding. He had so many fan girls.
I gave him a side look.
"Hey, look at all the positive comments."
There were so many. Like
"Get well soon Senpai!"
"If Kai is with you, you'll get better real soon!"
"Love you Y/N!"
I nodded thanks to him.
"Hey no problem."
My door opened. It was the blue ninja.
"My turn to spend time with her Hothead."
The boy with a scar running through his eyebrow told the boy radiating head.
He shrugged
"Alright."
He got up, squeezing my hand as he got up and left.
"You do anything interesting with him?"
Jay asked as he snuggled up next to me.
I showed him my Twitter. He scoffed.
"I brought much better entertainment."
He showed my a collection of Fritz Donnegan comic books. I had always wanted to read them but never had the time.
"I'll read them to you. If that's okay."
He asked being unsure about his narrating skill.
I nodded yes to him. He began.
We made it through about 10 issues and I really loved the story when my door was opened by Zane.
"My turn."
He told my comic reader. I waved goodbye to Jay as Zane entered the room. He was cold once he sat on my bed. I snuggled under my blankets.
"Anything you'd like to talk about?"
I shrugged. Then had a thought.
"Tell me about your dad."
He smiled.
"Of course."
After he finished. I was in tears, he was so good at story telling yet, the story was also very sad.
It was a pretty long story, so by the end of it it was late evening. The door opened to reveal my last visitor of the long day. It was Lloyd. He smiled at me.
"See you tomorrow Y/N."
"Thank you for sharing Zane."
I whispered.
Lloyd popped open my laptop and went to YouTube. We watched some JaidenAnimations, TheOdd1sOut and SomethingElseYT. I was a real animation geek. (Sorry if you aren't.) We watched those until we both drifted to sleep. My door cracked open to reveal Sensei and the team.
"I love you guys."
Sorry if this was different or cliche.
