A story I've decided to write, based on an actual event. Enjoy~Let me know what you think!

As I researched the half-life of radioactive isotopes created through nuclear energy on the shitty school lap tops, I noticed the words starting to blur into another. All of a sudden I'm sweaty, I'm hot and cold at the same time, "what?!" I wisper under my now heavy breath. I looked down, I was wearing three shirts and a jacket, "is it hot in here or is it just me?", I randomly blurt out as I fidget to take my jacket off. A few people look at me from the corner of they're eyes but quickly go back to they're work.. I'm wearing one of my sweet Halo 3 T-shirts over a waffle shirt with little red owls on it ^ ^. I try to focus on the screen, but my head was suddenly spinning, ((come on I need to know how to correctly dispose of high-level nuclear waste!)), but I can't concentrate. Feeling the abrupt pain in my stomach, I look up at the clock, it's only 12:00, ((ok...thats..good?)). I hold my now throbbing head in both hands, ((what is going on?)) I had never been to the nurses office in school before, but I think now would be a good time to go. I got up from my seat ((whoa)) I almost fall back down. "Oh, are you feeling sick?" my teacher who thinks that we were all going to be nuclear chemist's asked. "Yea" I managed to sound ok, I thought. Walking down the empty hall way, hall pass in hand, knowing I wouldn't need it, I wished that I had skipped today. ((I could be home playing Halo but NO)). Nikki skipped, she said because it was Valentines day. She didn't want to come to school on Valentines day, what a pansy, then again niether did I. I didn't want any...unwanted attention. I prefer to keep to myself mostly, well, all the time. ((Valentines day is so stupid)) WHOOSH a wave of dizzyness snapped me back into now,..I was almost at the nurses office, my stomach was killing me now. As I entered I noticed that I really had never been in the nurses office before, it was like a secret little room that seemed to be conceling another behind it. "What seems to be the problem, dear?" For some reason I put my hands on top of my head to say "I donno, I feel sick, like..." The words came spilling so quickly out of my mouth. "Like nauseous?" she completed my some how concievable sentence. "Yea" I sighed. "Would you like some Tum's to settle your stomach?" she asked sweetly. "Yes, please" my hands droped to my sides. I chewed the chalky tablets one at a time, concentrating only on chewing, nothing else ran through my mind. I asked to lay down and as I got to the other room I realized how big it was. I proped my head up on the piece of plastic called a bed because mom always said to do that when feeling sick the way I was. I looked at the different colored posters on the wall I was facing, trying to distract my self out of the pain. "Nurse Expectations" was the biggest poster. "1. Ask to lay down, do not go directly to the back room" Ok, I did that right, sweet. "2.Do not take Ice from the ice machine any more" I glanced down at the ice box below the sign, alrighty then. Just then, a kid walks in and takes some ice, ((lawl)). ((OW OW OW..OW OW)) the pain in my stomach was coming and going very quickly, like I was being stabed. ((hey, i've felt this before)) I thought, ((right after some really good mexican food)), but the intensity told me that this wasn't gas. "3.Do not stay longer than 5 minutes" I read to try and distract myself again. ((oh shi- what time is it?!)) I looked at the clock but it didn't matter what it said, I was going back to class, now. ((Grow up, get back to class, it's nothing)) I left without saying anything, I was feeling better already. That was untill I turned the corner into the main hall way..((just keep going, don't be a wuss)) The words of my mother rang in my head, felt like some one drilling screws into my brain. Imagining that exact thing,I smirked ((man, i'm sick >D)) My class room was upstairs, as I was getting twards the stairwell, the pain got so extreme I dashed to the bathroom so fast I didn't know how I made it so quickly. I got in, ((Shit!)) there were a bunch of girls in there. The only stall open was the handicap and I figured if someone in a wheel chair came in they could hold it, I quickly closed and loked the door. ((I'll just chill...I can wait untill they leave)) I took my jacket off and hung it on the coat hanger, I was sweating a lot, almost gasping for air, I imagined my face green. I kept qiuet though, the last girl finished washing her hands, took 5 HOURS to friggin dry them. Everyone was out...I stammered over the toilet, I had to hold myself up by gripping onto the walls. ((Ew)) I did not want to throw up in school..or what ever I was holding back. Maybe an alien baby was going to burst out of my chest, that would be pretty cool. ((UGH)) I began to tremble, my whole body, quivering from the pain that seemed to be consuming me. I pressed my lips together, man, I have never felt this...sick before. ((UGH)) another wave of this strange pain and I was on my knees, some where in the bathroom...was I in a bathroom...((am I going to die?))....TO BE CONTINUED
