Her symptoms start to appear

Almost as if in response to the student’s thoughts, her body began to warm up. Taylor was in sweatpants and a hoodie, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first. But as she sat there, almost nodding off in her seat, her body kept growing warmer. Soon, Taylor could feel herself beginning to sweat. Thinking nothing of it, she pulled off her hoodie, leaving it in a pile by her backpack.

Still, Taylor couldn’t seem to cool down, she back stuck to the chair with sweat. She began to lightly pant. Am I running a fever? She thought to herself. Whatever this was, she needed to figure it out now.

Taylor got up from her seat and began to walk towards the door. “Ms. Green?” Her professor called over his mic. The entire class turned to look at her, like a mob waiting for the criminal to be drawn and quartered, she squirmed as she felt their eyes upon her. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“B-bathroom.” Taylor stuttered.

Her stuffy professor checked his wristwatch. “We only have five minutes until class is up, surely you can wait until then. Now please, sit back down.”
