Sick at School

Today I was sick at school. I wasn't sick when I left at home. When I finished my quiz in first block (math), I started feeling nauseous. Almost as if I was carsick. Jackson (the kid next to me) kept bugging me about the way I was acting so I let him know that I was not feeling good. The teacher sent me to Student Services. I called my mom's cell phone but she didn't answer so, I left a message. I proceeded on to second block (social studies) which was being held in the media center computer lab. I immediately began feeling severely nauseous upon entrance. I panicked but tried to wait it out like in the morning. When it got worse I told the teacher I was going to be sick and I ran out of the room. I instinctively headed towards the restroom. There were several eighth graders walking around and in the restroom. I ran in and vomited all over the entrance. The eight graders started yelling while I continued to puke. They called Mr. Birch (staff member) and he sent me to Student Services. I called my mom's cell phone again but she didn't answer. I called home but that call was not answered either. I finally asked the staff member in the room to look up my dad's cell phone number because I had forgotten it. She found that and his work number. I dialed his cell phone number and he answered. I told him that I just threw up and I wanted to go home. He told me he'd be right over. I gathered my things and went into the front office to wait for him. By now my shoe began stinking of shoe barf. When my dad arrived we went home. He told me that as he was leaving to come get me, my mom called and told him that she got my message and she was coming over. I got home and tried to sleep but I wasn't tired enough. I had a very light lunch and now I feel better. I guess I could have stayed at school but, county policy states that if a child gets sick, he/she must be removed from campus for the next 24 hours. Of course no one takes the '24 hours' part seriously. I did have to leave for the rest of the day. I didn't do anything that would upset my stomach but if it's a bug, why did it pass so quickly? Oh well, I feel good now.
