" They called you to the principal's office, immediately" Steve answers .
" Why ? All i did was sleep in the class for a minute. " Vin complains as vin staris at the teacher .
" Hell if I know why they are calling you to the office . And I'm pretty It's more than a minute of sleep " Steve says to vin .
" Go on. The headmaster is calling you not me" The teacher . Everyone wonders why the principal called him .
Vin leaves the classroom and walks to the office direction , as he is on his way to the principal's office he sees a cop . A female cop standing next to the door of the principal's office . Vin doesn't think much about it and continues to walk .
" Are you vin ? " The cop asked.
Vin thinks for a bit if he has done something bad and then he remembered, last night he ran away from the hospital without paying the medical bills . " Yes, that's me . " Vin answers and asks " is there any problem officer? "
" Ok . Go in " she doesn't say much and sends him in .
Vin knocked on the door ." Come in " a voice comes from inside.
Vin gets inside and sees there is another cop inside and talking to the principal.
" Hello vin " principal greets
" Hey sir " vin responds .
" Where were you last night and what happened " the principal questions him . The cop glaring at him. Vin sees the cop glaring at him and he stutters .
" Don't worry about him , he's always like that " the principal assured him.
" If it's about that I ran away from the hospital without paying the medical bill, I'll pay it as soon as possible, please " vin answers in sad and little fright .
" No no no , don't worry about the bill , it's already paid ." The cop assured him . Vin turned his head and looked at the cop with quite a shock in his face .
Vin did not have any health insurance or money in his wallet so he was surprised.
" Hmm.? I didn't have the money to pay the bills, so who paid ?" Vin asks with surprise
" Ah. The person who brought you to the hospital paid for the bills , "the cop says .
" So tell me , what happened last night ?" Cop asked .
" I'm not really sure what happened, but as I was on my way to part time work, I had a seizure and the next thing i know is, waking up in the hospital " vin answers.
"Seizure?, you look in perfect health though " the principal says .
" Well after my parents died , I'm having this episodes, for the past couple of years " vin answers.
" PTSD ?" the cop again asks him.
" Well you could say that but it's not really PTSD or anything that I know of . I have been to most of the hospitals in the state but no one has ever been able to find the reason for the headache " vin says with a sad expression
" Oh , ok . We just came to check on you, that's all . Don't worry about anything and study hard .
As the cop leaves the room ," Are you ok ? " The principal asks .
" Yes , I'm ok .it's just the headache that's all. " Vin answers .
" Really ? Ok then, now go to your classes ." The principal says.
Vin exits the office room and thinks about what appended last night. As he remembers, his head throbs again but it's just for a split of second .
He comes back to the class and takes his seat and sleeps again .
" Yo , why did they call you " Steve asked vin, but he doesn't reply, and fell asleep .
