"Good luck and remember, take a deep breath and don't jump to conclusions. Let him explain first before you go off. Updateon everything tomorrow "I will," I assured her and then I hung up the phone.
I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him. He still remained at the doorway, studyingwith a frown.
"Irene said you were unwell," he told me. “You were fine this morning! I nodded and wiped my checks again, hoping he didn't notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes. I hated how weak I was in front of him, but I couldn't help myself.
"Yeah, I was just a little under the weather,” I lied. “I think I might have eaten something bad.

It was something I ate at school. Nothing more." He looked almost disappointed; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way, but I wasn't going to let him.

"Are you still feeling sick?" He asked.
I nodded; I was feeling sick, but not because I ate something bad.
"I'll get you stea then,” he said; before I could protest, he was already out of the room. I sighed and leaned my head against my pillow, feeling frustrated and hurt all at the stime.
Gavin returned a little later with a mug of tea, made exactly how I liked it. I was surprised that he remembered such details about me.
