Noelle had woken up with a terrible headache probably because she stayed up all night. Thankfully she didn't have classes. It was a Sunday. She decided to stay in since she also didn't have to go to work that day.

~Time skip~

She slept all day to ease up on her headache, when she checked up on her phone she saw twenty messages and fifteen missed calls from Amaya, Maya, Mikaela, Liam, and Jason. "wow, I didn't think people cared about me especially the one person who's been avoiding me." She said referring to her friend, three best friends, and childhood friend Jason.

Maya asked her if she was okay, and that if she needed anything she would be with her boyfriend, Liam.

Liam texted her asking if she was okay and confirming that he was with Maya and told her to text her if she saw the text.

Amaya told her she was with Mikaela and they were currently on a project work together and she was worried about her so if she got the text she should text her.

Mikaela told her to get well soon if she was sick that is, and that she was with Amaya and they were worried, so if she saw the text she should text them back because they tried calling her but her phone was off.

Jason told her she forgot to meet up with her at lunch and was very worried about her, he was currently outside campus he could not come to check up on her and that if she saw the text she should send her a message.

After that Noelle lazily got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, her headache had subsided a little but it still hurt. She warmed up some leftover soup that was from the last time Maya had gotten sick, and that wasn't long ago.

She happily ate it seeing as she hadn't eaten anything all day. She finished her soup and did the dishes, after that she went to her room to inform her friends about her current condition.

She texted them in their group chat informed them that she was alright and that it was slightly better after her long nap.

They all reached an agreement to come to Noelle and Maya's dorm to make her feel better, and cook up something for her under the suspicion that she hadn't eaten anything decent except for soup and water. And technically they were right. Jason couldn't make it because he was currently off-campus.

Noelle called Jason and informed him about her current condition, she told him was very concerned about her health and that Noelle should take proper care of herself, he couldn't come because he was out with a friend and that as soon as he had time he could come and take care of her.

Not long after Maya and the squad came. They went upstairs only to find Noelle engrossed in her game so much that she didn't even hear her coming in. She had papers scattered everywhere and her room a huge mess.

"Can she even see us?" Amaya said in a skeptical voice. "I don't think she can I mean we're standing just a few meters away from her and talking," Liam said. "Noelle at least notice us, we came all the way here, and this the treatment you give us," Mikaela said pouting.

Noelle tilted her head in their direction only to find an annoyed bunch of people glaring at her. "Oh sorry I heard you come in but I didn't bother to pay attention, and sorry about the current condition of my workspace," Noelle said trying to annoy them further, which worked in a way.

"Sassy as ever, even though your sick you never cease to amaze me, Noelle," Amaya said nonchalantly. "Anyway let's get this place cleaned up or else I might die in here, with no one noticing," Mikaela said twitching her nose a bit. And technically she wasn't wrong. "Mikaela your room is way worse than Noelle's so stop talking," Maya said scrunching her face as she remembered the last time she went into Mikaela's room.

Liam grabbed the necessary equipment for cleaning up Noelle's room. Noelle was pushed out of her room by Maya to go continue her game, while they clean up her room.

Maya took care of placing everything where it belonged. Liam swept and mopped the room. Amaya took care of the garbage and Mikaela cleaned Noelle's gaming station. Overall it took them less than an hour to get the place cleaned up. Meanwhile, Noelle was in the living area still engrossed in the game she was playing earlier. ''I'm one lucky girl to have such good friends.'' She thought

After their whole cleaning session Liam, Mikaela, Maya, and Amaya came downstairs to prepare something to eat and then watching a movie with Noelle. They all agreed to cook some pasta and meatballs, luckily Noelle and Maya had the right ingredients, so everyone took one job, and before they knew it the food was ready."

"Noelle food's ready," Amaya called out to her from the kitchen. They set up the dining room which wasn't far from the kitchen and they all ate their food in silence. In an attempt to break the silence Mikaela got everyone talking about their personal lives, studies, and works.

Liam was doing well in class and was planning to get a job, Maya and Mikaela were joining the volleyball club and their grades were average, Amaya was as always the top of the class and Noelle told her friends about the new game they were launching, and her grades were okay.

hen they finished their food, Noelle decided to do the dishes while they pick out a movie for them to watch, to show her gratitude towards them. They decided to watch a Horror movie which everyone surprisingly agreed to. They turned off all the lights and huddled together on the couch.
