laughter+sickness=medicine

I was quite ill as I sniffled my way towards my desk attracting dozens of stares from students. I scowled lowly at them and turned back to Michelle who smiled slowly at me. I grinned back at her for a brief moment. I sighed and slumped on my desk my arms sagging as my things dropped to the floor with a thump. Weiqi helped me pick up my things with her eyebrows slightly raised. I heaved another sigh and placed my heavy throbbing head in my hands. I hated it when I was ill. I felt as though my head was stuffed with a wad of cotton wool. It felt unnerving and uncomfortable.

I dry coughed for a while, cursing myself silently for not bringing my lozenges. I sighed and looked at my books for a moment my dry eyes begging for a dose of eye drops. I looked up when I heard Nicholas's voice shrilling up and I jerked my heavy head up for a moment. Nick looked at me curiously and I sighed. I turned back my focus towards the teacher and that was when my teacher asked her question. "What is the formula for water?" she asked me. My head racked for an answer and thank goodness I found it! H2O. I cheered silently but then I asked myself. What was H2O?!! Oh yup. H to O. I replied confidently. "H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O." the students around me hooted with laughter and I looked around and laughed too unaware I was the butt of the joke. The teacher frowned at me but I could see a smile at the corner of her lips and my sickness disappeared and when I was able to think clearly I just went, DANG IT! Lolz.
