I think I’m okay except for a little sore throat, but now I’m a little embarrassed since Alice made such a big fuss.
However, the health teacher told me harshly.
“What do you mean, you’re okay. It’s really a bad habit to say you’re fine when you’re unconditionally sick. Do you understand.?”
“Yes Ms. Jane.”
“I’ll make you medicine, so take a good rest. Okay?”
“Yes, thank you Ms. Jane.”
The health teacher left the room after saying that she’ll send the medicine later.
I asked Alice, who still had a serious face, playfully.
“Alice, what did you do with your classes? Didn’t the class start?”
“Is it time to be thinking about the class now?'”
“Of course I should think. Who will take notes if both you and I are both absent from class?”
“Felix will. Since you’re close to him, why don’t you ask him to lend it to you?”
“Why are we talking about him here?”
Alice seemed to still have a grudge against Felix.
I also said hastily, fearing that Alice would complain about Felix.
“Anyway, hurry up and go to Academy. I can take leave since I’m sick, but you will be absent without any reason. You’ll get your grades cut.”
“It’s okay.”
“I’m not okay with it. Go now.”
Alice and I continued to quarrel a few more times.
I was the winner.
Alice went to the class with a sulky look on her face.
Before she left, she didn’t forget to give me the remaining medicine.
Alice was always like this.
Even though she was the same age as me, she always took care of me like my sister.
Alice would have been very worried about me while I was sick, if I had not spoken so bluntly.
I was once again grateful to her.
As Alice said, I took medicine and lay down in bed.
Maybe because I slept for three days, I couldn’t sleep anymore.
My mind was wide awake.
‘Should I have just gone to the class even if Alice stopped
me?’
I only had negative thoughts because I was alone.
I tried not to think about anything as much as I could and tried to go back to sleep.
Then I heard a knock.
‘What is it? Is it auditory hallucination?’
I wasn’t mistaken. I heard a knock again.
“Who would be coming at this hour.”
It was strange, but I walked and opened the door.
“Huh?”
Felix was standing at the door.
He was a little thinner than the last time I saw him.
The jawline, which was originally sleek, became sharper, and both cheeks were slightly dug.
Perhaps because of that, his cold impression became a little sharper.
*Felix…! What is he doing here?’
I was slow to think because my head was heavy.
I asked belatedly.
“What are you doing here….?”
Felix looked down at me with an strange face, and he answered only after I asked again.
“Alice came to class.”
“Oh, I know.”
“So I came here to see if you were all right.”
He raised his big hand and touched my forehead.
It was a thoughtless act.
Were we close enough for him to behave this intimately?
Feeling a little embarrassed, I stepped back.
Fortunately, Felix did not follow.
“Is that all?”
“Yeah. That’s enough. I’ll go.”
“Wait a minute.”
I grabbed Felix’s hand quickly.
But soon I let go of his hand.
I was blaming Felix just a moment ago for being too close but it seems, he was not the only one who thought like that.
“What?”
“What about the… little boy?”
Felix closed his mouth tightly.
The silence soon gave me an answer.
“You didn’t find him?”
“Yes.”
“I see.”
I bowed slightly, and Felix pressed my forehead with his thumb.
Felix’s eyes were seen close by as his head tilted slightly towards me.
“Don’t worry too much. They say no news is good news. If anything had happened, you would have heard from me sooner.”
“…yes.”
“So don’t worry about anything and take a good rest. Didn’t you wished for getting a cold.”
“I didn’t catch cold because I wanted for it.”
“Really…?”
“Well….I wished I had cold, when I saw the little boy suffering.”
“All right?”
Felix looked still unhappy, even though I gave him the answer he wanted.

“Anyway, get back to the class soon. Sickness doesn’t affect grades, but you know it’s hard to keep up after a long absence from class, right? You have to get good grades in written classes since you’re weak in practical classes, and if you keep missing, you won’t get a better written score.”
“Ah, that’s why…”
“I’m telling you in advance, I won’t show you my notes.”
