Monday Mourning Shots

Chapter Description: Nick goes to the nurse to get a shot.

Everyone was called down by groups of 10 to the Nurses office in alphabetical order. Nick couldn’t help but think that this would be the order that they would be called up for graduation. These were the people that would go ahead of him and follow him as he received his diploma. Nick eventually got called down during 3rd period. He sat in the nurses office and waited for it to be his turn. Their was a doctor in the room along with the school nurse. A line of shots were laid out on the counter ready to go. He lifted up Nicks sleeve, rubbed some alcohol on his arm and quickly gave him the shot. Nick asked the doctor "How come it’s the seniors getting this shot. If its something going around shouldn’t everyone get it?"

"Everyone is. We are just giving it to seniors first. Can’t give it to everyone in one day." responded the doctor.

"Oh okay." said Nick satisfied with his answered. Nick went back to class and just sat through the lecture.

During 4th period his arm really started to ache. He had gotten shots before, but this pain was a lot worse. He didn’t want to complain about it so he just tried to ignored it.

At lunch Nick felt really hungry. So he ended up getting doubles and inhaled his food within only a few minutes. All the other seniors seemed equally as hungry and they devoured all their food. Almost all of them also got seconds. Towards the end of the day as Nick was walking out to his car he got light headed and felt a little dizzy. When Matt got to the car Nick told him to get in quick. As soon as they got home Nick rushed into the bathroom and threw up into the toilet. Matt came in and asked "Are you okay?"

"No, i feel like shit. I’m gonna go lay down for a little bit." Nick went to the kitchen and grabbed a pot and went to his room. He put the pot next to his bed just in case he had to vomit again. He laid down still fully dressed and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
