The teacher read the note, "Suzuki-san you are excused to go to the Principal's office."
"Thank you, Sensei." Amelia got up and picked up her bag in the process and went into the hallway. "Gabriel, why did the principal send you to get me?"
"That is a story for in a moment. Are you feeling okay? You look flushed." Gabriel was staring at her intently and wanted to help but stood there before thinking of something. "I can carry your bag for you."
"Okay. I wouldn't normally say no but the fever is causing me some grief. Thank you for your assistance. Let's go and see what the principal says." Amelia handed her bag over to him.
Once he took the bag her hand grazed his. 'It is as I thought. Her fever is too high. I wonder if she will be okay with me offering to give her a ride back home. It would not be wise for her to walk.' He knocked on the door and then held the door open for her to enter.
