Hannah June's POV (February 1st, 1966)

When I got home, hours later, I was shaking. Two-Bit ditched school to babysit his baby sister and probably go to Bucks about halfway through the day and Steve got detention and couldn't give me a ride. I was stuck walking home from school by myself. I was coughing and sneezing more frequently now and my head hurt even worse than before once I finally walked into my house.

The house was nice and warm, but I couldn't shake the cold that seeped into my bones and send chills throughout my entire body. I knew that I must have been running a fever to be that cold but sweating at the same time.

I swallowed my two aspirins dry before Darry, Sodapop, or Ponyboy could get home from work or track practice, hoping that it would get rid of my pounding headache.

Third Person POV (February 2nd, 1966)

Hannah didn't want her brothers to find out that she was sick, and she thought that she was okay, so she never mentioned how poorly she was feeling. They didn't need to worry about her.

The next day at school Hannah could barely stay awake. None of her teachers noticed, though. The Socs like to make fun of the way she talked English, so Hannah tended to keep her trap shut in school.

She was walking to the library, which was up front by the nurse's office and the main office. Her vision was swirling as she walked and she had to grab the wall sometimes for support.

Her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Hannah June's head hit the floor and her body began to violently shake. The nurse, who luckily happened to be walking by, placed her hands on the seizing young student.

Sodapop's POV (same day)

"Hey, Mr. Charmer! Your fans are here," Steve called crom the front. I rolled out from under James, our boss's, Ford, laughing. Caitlin's eyes lit up when she saw me in my greasy overalls. I walked over to her, but then the phone rang. When I answered it, I discovered that it was Darry.

"Little Buddy, Hannah's in the hospital. I already picked up Ponyboy from school. Get to the hospital quick, but drive safely, m'kay?" Darry told me.

I almost dropped the phone. "Yeah, okay," I managed, hanging up the phone with a shaking hand.

"Hannah's in the hospital," I told Steve. I ignored Caitlin's please, calling after me as I jogged out the door.

"Is Hannah your girlfriend?" She shrieked demandingly.

A/N: Sorry for the switch in POV's. I had to to say what happened after she passed out.
