Joe pulled away from me, realizing what he just did. "Joe..." I whispered. He grinned at me and said, “At least we’ll be sick together…”. I couldn’t help but laugh, he did the same.
Kara, totally ignoring Joe and I, asked about what happened to Nick. “He just had a bit too much sugar, he’ll be fine.” Kevin said, smiling. She smiled back, laughing at herself. “Can I go see him?” Em asked, getting up from her seat. “Of course, you can go first, Em.” Kevin said, gently pushing her to Nick’s room.
“Hey, Nick!” Em cheerfully said, standing next to him. Nick’s face lit up, “Hi Em!” He cried. Em laughed, “Are you feeling better?” She asked. “Yup…” He responded, flipping through television channels. “That’s good…”
“So, what’s up with Emily?” Nick asked. “Oh… she got a bad shot, her hand is pretty numb and she’s really nauseous… I‘d stay away from her.” Em said, chuckling a little. “I’ll do my best.” Nick said, smiling. “So, when are you out of here?” She asked. “Any time I wanna…” He responded, sitting up. “Oh… then do you want to get going?” Em asked. He nodded, having Em help him up.
Meanwhile, Kara, Kevin, Joe and I patiently waited for Em and Nick. “Ugh… you guys better not be contagious…” Kara said, tapping her foot. “I’m sure we aren’t…”Joe said, rubbing his nose. “Phew.” Kevin said. “Then I won’t be able to go anywhere fun if I’m sick.” Joe pointed out. I nodded, “I know I’m sick…” Joe just smiled at me, his eyes shining.
“Hey, Kara… I know that this is kinda sudden… but I really like you and I want to go out with you.” Kevin said, taking Kara’s hands. Kara just smiled really big and screamed, “YES!” Joe and I just laughed a little, friends could be such dorks.
“Wow…” Nick and Em said in unison. We all faced them, laughing.
