The school doctor never wake up Camellia even though she ask for it. She knew that the effect of the medicine is strong so that the patient have enough time to recover. So she just write a note for the teachers who taught Camellia's classes. A note for miss the classes with a reason of illness. It was good that Camellia take a fast action before the cold spread to other. It was a responsible decision of her.
"Oh you're awake already. It is still early for the medicine effect to wear off completely. Go and lay down some more before you kiss the floor." Said the doctor that sits behind her table while smiling.
When Camellia wake up, she went flustered as it was already pass for almost two hours. She sleep for two long hours like a log. She can't believe it herself. She never take a long nap during daylight where sun at its highest point. Due to wake up later than she plan, it cause Camellia to miss her class. One subject is already end and the next one is already half way through.
"Yeah. I'm awake. I need to run to my class. It is already late," replied Camellia.
But the doctor ask her to just join the last class for the day if she insisted to. It will be fine if she take a longer rest instead suffer throughout of the day and maybe the next day. She will only torture her poor body. She can't even give all her attention to the subject being taught. So she just agree with her.
Before Camellia left, the school doctor give her another prescription in which she need to have it after every eight hours. And another two piece of cooling gel pack to replace every five hours until her body temperature cooling down to a normal one. Camellia thanked the school doctor and walk away with a slow and heavy step. She still feels slightly dizzy.
As soon as Camellia got into her class, she sit on her spot next to Jessica. She take out her books for the next subject at the same time listen and answering Jessica's curiosity. She insisted Camellia to feed her curiosity as soon as she open a book on the table. She forbid Camellia to read the book unless she answer all her question.
"Lia… listen up. I want you to tell me the truth. Where have you been? After recess, I thought that you already left for the art class. I was quite upset with it. But as soon as I went there, you're not in there. Later during the class start, the school doctor walk in with a piece of paper, give it to the art teacher and then she left. After the class end, went here as soon as possible but you are not here too. You scared the hell out of my life. I thought you went missing. You never miss any class."
"Okay. Okay. Stop talking. You're making my headache worst then before. It feels like it will blow up right this moment if you don't stop talking."
"Is it that bad? I'm sorry. But you still need to explain."
"You see last night I can't sleep at all. I feel upset as my parent was not at home to celebrate my birthday. Usually, like all the previous years, they will always take a day off and spend time with me. Celebrate my birthday. But yesterday they keep broken their promise. First they were not with me in the morning. Next, they said didn't come back in the evening. And then they are not home until later at night.
So, I decide to go up the mountain to clear up my mind for awhile. I spend quite some time there. All of a sudden, rain start to fall and it was a really heavy rain. I went to a cave to take shelter until the rain stop. Unfortunately, I fall asleep until morning and at that I fall asleep in my wet clothes. I only woke up when it was morning come. That went you saw me in the morning." Explain Camellia with her head on her arm that the put on the table with the hope her headache will subside faster. She intentionally left the part where she meet up and help out the injured wolf.
"So, it means that you just spend overnight up the mountain. You came back only these morning. I thought that you were at home all night and only go out in the early morning to find some herbs. And you still alive from wilderness. What an unbelievable story." Jessica said while shaking her head after listening to the whole story.
"Yes. I am very much alive. Except for the headache that almost split me apart and it is killing me."
"Ohh… Good for you. Nobody will do anything crazy like you. Any girls will never have the gut except you, Lia. You always want to be the invincible girl, don't you? So, take it."
"Oh God. Will you stop. I really cannot take it anymore." A plead statement by Camellia instead of a question. "The teacher is already here anyway."
Both girls sit properly and facing the front of the class towards the teacher. They greet him with respect before the class starts. During the class, Camellia was half conscious, she understand all the topic as she already do her self-study on the topic. Every other explanations was blurred in her mind. She doesn't catch much about the subject being taught. She tried to fight the headache and give her full attention in the class but it never happen. She fight the pain all the time until the bell ringing as it is already the end of the school. The class dismiss only after thanking the teacher.
It was so chaotic outside the classroom. Every students take their fast stride in the hallway to go home and spend their remaining time of the day own their own way.
