Chapter 2: Sick

The next morning, I woke up early because I still had chores to do. After I finished them, I went out right away and locked my apartment.

"What time is it already?" I asked myself as I hurried out because I might be late.

When I arrived at the classroom, only one of my classmates was there, so I sat at my seat and waited for the others. After a few minutes, my classmates started arriving one by one. When Luka arrived, I saw that Kai wasn't with him, so I asked him, "Luka, where's Kai? Why isn't he with you?" I was still sitting at my seat. Only two desks were between us, so he could hear me.

"Didn't he tell you that he's sick?" he answered.

"No," I replied briefly.

"Let's go visit him later," I said to him.

"Sure," he replied briefly, then turned his gaze forward because our teacher had arrived.

"Good morning, class!"

"Good morning, Ma'am!"

After our class, it was break time, so my classmates went to the canteen. I stayed at my seat and reviewed my math because I didn't understand it.

"You're not buying anything?" Luka asked me.

"No, I'm reviewing math. I don't get it," I answered while still looking at my notebook.

"I'll teach you. Didn't you ask me to tutor you last time?" he said.

"Oh right, I forgot, haha," I replied.

Luka taught me for the whole break time because I really couldn't understand the math, so it took a while.

"Thank you, I get it now," I thanked him while smiling.

"No problem. Listen next time, okay?" he teased me.

"Yes, I will listen next time~," I answered like a child. He smiled at me.

That afternoon, as we had agreed, we were going to visit Kai. While Luka and I were walking down the street, I saw someone selling ice cream.

"I want to buy some, but never mind. Next time," I said to myself.

"You want ice cream? Let's buy some," he suddenly said to me. He probably noticed me staring at the ice cream.

"No, we're going to visit Kai," I immediately replied.

"Ah, okay," he said.

When we arrived, we knocked on Kai's apartment door right away.

"I don't think it's locked," I said to Luka. Luka tried to open the door, and it wasn't locked.

"It's not locked," he said.

Since it wasn't locked, we just went in and looked for Kai.

"Kai!! Luka and I are here!" I called out to Kai.

"He's probably in his room," Luka said. I checked if he was in his room, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Kai lying weakly on his bed and sweating a lot. I went closer to check how high his fever was.

"He's really hot," I thought to myself.

"Luka!! Get some lukewarm water and a towel!"

"Kiara?" Kai said weakly, struggling with his fever.

"Here is what you asked me to get, Kiara," he said as he handed it to me.

"He's too hot. He should take medicine," I said.

"Wait, I'll buy medicine outside," I told Luka and quickly went to the store. While I was buying, Luka watched over Kai.

"Dude, get well soon," Luka said briefly.

"Why are you and Kiara here? I might infect you," he said weakly because he felt sick.

"Kiara is buying medicine. Just wait."

While Luka was watching over Kai, Kai insisted on getting up.

"Hey! Lie down," Luka scolded him.

When I arrived, I found my two friends, and Luka had his hand on Kai's back while helping him lie down.

"Oh my~ hehe," I whispered to myself.

"Are you going to just stand there, or are you going to give him the medicine?" Luka asked me.

"S-sorry," I answered.

After we made Kai take the medicine I bought, we let him lie down. We also decided to cook food for Kai, and of course, we would eat with him.

"Let's just stay here, cook for Kai, and eat here too," I said.

"Sure, so he won't have to cook," he said.

After we ate, we gave Kai the medicine I bought earlier, and then we went home.

"We're leaving now, Kai. Get well soon, okay?" I told Kai.

"Yes," he answered briefly while smiling.

It was late at night when Luka and I got home because we took care of Kai.

"Ugh! I'm so sleepy." I fell asleep early because I was tired too.

When I woke up, I got ready as I always did and went straight to school. When I entered the classroom, I saw that Kai had come in, and of course, Luka was with him again.

"Phew, my main character came in." I whispered to the air.

"Good thing you're better now." I said to Kai.

"Thanks to you two last night." he said.

"No problem." I sat down at my seat right away because our teacher might arrive soon. When our teacher arrived, our class started.

After a long hours

"Okay, class dismissed!"

"Woohoo!! Let's go to the canteen!!" my classmates shouted.

"You're not buying again, Kiara?" Luka asked me.

"No, I have a sandwich," I said.

"I don't want to interrupt them, huhu. He just recovered from being sick, ohh your poor baby," I said to myself.

"Okay," they said and went to the canteen.

"I'm literally obsessed~ my favorite ship is sailing!" I said to myself while squealing.
