No Sacrifice

By: Pam Marks

Walking back into the living room Rita sighed in content as Tommy was sprawled on the couch in blissful sleep. "He sleeps."

Smiling Rita grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch and threw it over Tommy "I just don't think.." Cut off by a groan from the sleeping boy on the couch Rita walked into the hallway and upon hearing talking coming from the kitchen still she stampeded up the stairs and down the hallway to her room.

Remember Tommy needed an icepack she bounced down the stairs that led to the kitchen "He needs an ice pack for his head." Remembering all of those medical courses she had taken as Rita so that she could care for Tommy she grimaced "I am going to work tomorrow at the hospital. So we need someone here to watch over Tommy. If he shows any sign of getting sicker bring him by the hospital."

Getting one of the pre maid ice packs from the freezer Rita headed back to the living room as everyone groaned in acceptance of this news.

Smiling at the students began to file into the classroom Tommy took a set behind his science desk and got out his grade book so he could take attendance. "Tommy can you come to this office please? One of your students is sick."

Shutting his grade book Tommy stood "Ok class open your books to page 123 and write a paragraph on where you think dinosaurs came from. We will talk about this when I get back."

Leaving the room as the students began to obey he walked down the ancient halls of Las Angeles High School noticing the grand 1930's architecture as he went. Walking into the principals office he softly whipped his lips with his tongue when he saw Frank standing there sniffling and trying to hold in his coughs "Frank."

"Oh come on Dr. Oliver. I can go to class. We have that test today on the eating habits of Terex's."

"That is no reason you can't go home. I missed 5 days because my head was splitting down the middle." Tommy said in retort as he crossed his arms.

"Yeah but I can do it. I can Dr. Oliver." Frank replied as Tommy took a sharp breath inwardly.

"I believe you but a test is no reason to jeopardize your health." Not noticing the person dressed in pink nor the boy dressed in red walk in behind him he continued "Nor is it worth the risk of the other students health."

Shrugging Frank made a sound under his breath "Yeah I guess you're right. I guess I can go home for the day and take the test tomorrow after school."

"How about I give you the test tomorrow in class that way you won't have to mess football practice. I know you have that big game coming up on Friday and you don't want to miss it." Tommy complied as Frank smiled.

"Thanks Dr. Oliver." Frank said while lighting up like a Christmas Tree.

"Tommy?" Hearing his name called from behind he turned to see a pipette girl dressed in pink standing there as well as a muscular boy all dressed in red standing there.

"Yes can I help you?" Tommy asked as he looked down at the girl standing there.

"It's me. It' Kim." The piety girl said as she looked at his a stunned expression coming over her face.

Tommy looked lost as the muscular boy stood a little straighter as Tommy stammered back a little bit "Who?"
