When the next morning come, Camellia wake up with a shock face. She just realised that she did not sleep at home. Instead, she fall asleep next to the wolf that she help in a cave. What's more surprising is she sleep very well. Not even a flinch near the wolf. And most important part is she still alive even sleep next to a wild and ferocious creature. Camellia stand on her two feet, move around to collect all her things into her bag. She make a last check on the wolf's condition and the injuries before left the cave.
"I'll come back later in the evening wolfy. Be good and get well soon," said Camellia to the unconscious wolf while ruffling his fur. She then walk out of the cave in a hurry manner. She afraid that it is way later than her morning alarm.
On her way down the mountain, Camellia wondering about so many things. She doesn't know the time at the moment as she sleep very comfortably last night. It was as if she sleep in a warm place with soft pillow and bed. While in reality it was totally different. She doesn't know why that happen. As soon as Camellia walk into the village border, she saw a familiar face in front of the door of her house.
As expected, Jessica was already in front of her door step with a panic face. She sit there biting her fingernails and looking at the empty space lost in her own thought as if something bad had happen. She walk slowly and silently to surprise her friend. As soon as she near enough to jump in front of Jessica and surprise her. The jump make Jess come back to reality, she shout and screaming as loud as she can then starts to ask Camellia her never ending questions as if she is an inspector interrogate a criminal.
"Aaaaahhhh… Damn it Lia. What are you doing? I called you so many times to eat. You didn't answer any. Where have you been? I have been waiting for you. You better tell me. I don't come here to suffer to wake up early and have to stay in the cold just to worry about you. You better be honest with me."
"Jess… Relax. Take a deep breath. I just come back from the mountain. I need to cool down my mind so that I can be myself instead being grumpy all day like you. Hehehe…"
"Now move. Go clean up and get change of clean clothes. Move faster. We are will be late to school. We need to eat before leaving. If you come back any later I might eat all your veggies there." Said Jessica at the same time pointed her forefinger to the veggies in her small farm. She then nagged and blabber about so many things while waiting.
After finish all their breakfast in hurried manner, both girls walk down their usual path to go to school. Camellia tried to talk and comfort the angry Jessica all the way to their school.
It turns out Jessica came early to her house as she was instructed to call her for breakfast. They need to eat before left for school. But when Jessica arrived at her house like ten minutes ago. There were nobody at home. Not even a single soul answer her called and she didn't hear a single movement in the house. It make her worries and wonder all the possible bad things might happen to her. Jessica love her way too much.

The school session starts just like usual. The students follow their strict schedule and do all the task based on the teachers' instructions all the time. Just like usual, Camellia left the classroom during recess to library for her self-study. Sitting at a quiet corner near a window and start to open and read the book on the table.
Only after ten minutes of study, she starts feel a little dizzy and some snots come out of her nose like a river. She starts to sniff it back in but it did not work the way she want. So she use her long sleeve shirt to wipe. When she realise that the snot keep coming out non-stop.
"Aahhh… Seriously, right now? The cold come right now? I don't have time to get sick right not. I don't afford to fall sick. I need to work hard and study. Urggghhhh… I can't believe these happen. These happen because of sleeping in the wet clothes."
Camellia immediately close her book and decide to leave the library. She walk away from the table and walk down the hallway to sick bay. She want to have cold medicine from the school doctor before it goes worse than it already is.
Unfortunate for Camellia, the school doctor was not in the room. The room was locked from the outside. She just lean on the wall and slid down to crouch for the time being. She need to wait for the doctor too come back from his recess.
After sitting there for almost five minutes, the school doctor finally come back. She walk near Camellia in a blue leather high hills. She wore a lab coat over her sky blue shirt and black knee-length skirt. She ask her a few question before invite Camellia in the room after unlock the door.
The school doctor start her treatment by taking Camellia's body temperature. She then open the medicine cabinets to search for the cold medicine. She give the correct prescriptions with a small bottle of water. She put a cooling gel pack on Camellia forehead before ask her to go lay down on a bed behind the white curtain.
Camellia put the medicine into her mouth and drink the water immediately. She proceed to walk to the bed to and ask for the doctor's help to wake her up before the end of the recess time. She lay down on the white bed, close her eyes and wish that she did not fall into the deep sleep for too long. She hope to wake up after maybe around fifteen to twenty minutes.
But of course it never happen the way she want.
