Chapter Text
The bell started ringing, signalling the end of class, but I couldn't move. The bell was drilling into my skull, immobilising me in my chair. Fuck, this headache was a fucking bitch. I've had migraines before, but none like this, how loud is that god damn bell. I gripped my head, tears in my eye,s begging for the ringing to stop. After what felt like years the ringing stopped and I could finally breath. I sucked in a shuddering breath and felt sweet release. Opening my eyes i found the class room had emptied apart from a few stragglers. No one had seen or paid attention to my random freak headache. But then again no one really paid attention to me anyway so no shock there. Or at least I thought no one had seen me, but there was someone eyeing me curiously from across the room. I made quick eye contact but then looked down and began packing away my things, trying to feign nonchalance. But i could still feel a calculating gaze on me. I quickly got up and left the class shaking off the fog in my brain from the random blinding pain. I could feel eyes on my back as I left.

During lunch i always find myself eating lunch alone. Usually on one of the benches outside if the weather was nice. And today was one of those days. I pulled out my shitty lunch that had been squashed in my bag and slumped down on the bench. The sun felt nice on my face and the fresh air cooled down my sweaty skin.
Ever since my freak migraine I haven't stopped sweating. It’s not even that hot today but my skin is flushed and hot. I’m definitely getting ill.
I looked down at my sandwich, frowning down at it like it had done me wrong or killed my family or something. And just like that I've lost my appetite, not like it was appetizing to begin with, but i definitely was hungry earlier, my stomach aching. However, looking down at the food i felt like i was going to be sick. Yeah sick is definitely the feeling.
I shoved the sandwich away and dabbed at my forehead, swiping away the sweat. My breathing fell short. Right fuck this im going home. I need to shower and lay down cause something isnt right. Everything felt sensitive, the light too bright for my eyes and the clothes on my skin too scratchy, i felt like i was suffocating in my senses, over stimulation to the max.
I was about to pull out my phone to call my mum to pick me up but stopped mid reach. Someone was watching me again. I could feel the gaze, and started to look around. My eyes landed on the group of people sat over on the bench to my right. As I looked over pretty much all five of them were watching me but quickly dropped their gazes when i met their stare. All accept one. Scott. He had the same quizzical look styles did earlier in class today when he caught my random pain. I held his stare, I wanted to look away but I couldn't, there was a pull and i could have sworn his eyes shifted. His eyes looked as though they changed colour briefly, they almost looked red? but before I could get a proper look he turned away and back to his group of friends.
Okay that was fucking weird. I dont even think i’ve ever had a conversation with him or any of his friends. I definitely need to leave.
After shooting my mum a quick message I get up to leave. As im heading towards the parking lot I can once again feel eyes on my back, they felt heavy as I left.

As soon as i got home i ripped my clothes off and jumped into the freezing shower, letting the cold water run down my aching body, washing away the sweat and scratchy feeling my clothes left behind.
I dont know how long i stayed in the shower but by the time i got out i was shivering, my teeth chattering and my skin wrinkly from the water.
I went over to my wardrobe and tried to find something to wear, but everything felt horrible right now. All my clothes felt rough. Screw this, I walked over to my bed and got straight in but couldn't get comfortable my pillows and blanket all wrong. So i stared to fluff up the pillows and move them around trying to find the right place for them to go.
Okay, this felt better, not right but better. Wait. when the fuck did i push my bed up against the wall. My bed was in the middle of the fucking room and now its against the wall, my pillows and blankets laid out in a way that I dont usually, no scratch that ever lay on. I’m so fucking confused but im also so fucking tired and suddenly lethargic I couldn't care less. I got into bed and grabbed my shark plushy my mother bought me from ikea and curled up into a tight ball. I close my eyes and try to go to sleep hoping it will sort me out, but my skin is starting to heat up again and the blankets are starting the feel rough, and ive got what feels like period cramps? Which is strange because my period had ended a week ago? What the fuck is wrong with me. My cramps intensified and the heat was getting to much. Am i dying? Should i go to the hospital, or call my mum to help me.
Im literally whimpering from the pain in my stomach when something else starts to ache…, and then its wet. Have i just pissed myself !? I run my hands between my legs and pull back, what the fuck, I was so sensitive and its definitely not piss. I’m definitely not calling my mum for help now not when im feeling ..horny? It fucking hurts too, my whole body is on fire my senses are bursting with all the different stimuli, I cant take it. I passed out from the pain.
