((I know I skipped a week but whateves... XD))

~Mitch POV~

'He'll think I'm mad! Oh, dear... I hope I did something right.' My thought were interupted by knocks at the door. I didn't respond not knowing if it was him or not "Mitch? You here?" I unlocked the door withought getting up and I looked away when he opened the door.

"Mitch please tell me this is- oh." Preston looked at me with worry in his eyes. He shut the door and locked it "Mitch? What do you need? Umm..." I looked at him "Do you need Vikk?" "No. He cannot know." I quickly said Preston gave me a confused look "Okay..." Pretson went quiet wanting to hear what I was about to say "So the bullies-" "Did they hurt you?" I looked at him and shook my head "Not yet?" Confusion and worry covered his eyes "Wh-what do you mean?" I hestated before speaking again "They want me to do something with them-" "What?! You can't!" I gave him the look to pipe-down "Sorry..." He mumbled but didn't speak anymore.

"That's not the problem. The-..." I stopped myself to figure out a way to re-word the sentence I am about to say "The problem is that he gave me a choise." I sighed looking down kicking my feet in the air "And what was it?" With each word I am saying Preston is getting more worried about me, wich thats the problem about him he just worried over others instead of putitng himself first, but he is sorta a good person to talk to.

Preston looked at me and went quiet not wanting to make me upset "He said that if I don't do the thing, whatever it is, then umm he will..." I stopped not knowing if Preston was going to take this lightly or not "He threatened to hurt us. Everyone of us, Jerome, Rob, and Lachlan..." Preston stared at me with wide eyes "W-what?" He seemed scared, but I was too, probably more. I continued to look at my feet "Why did you call me for then? I-I cannot help! I am basically a fish out of water! Useless!" Preston looked down upset "Vikk would have been a better person to call! Not me! I don't know what to say Mitch! I-I'm sorry..." I looked him "Hey, Vikk would have taken this differently than you. That's why I called you instead of him." Preston was panicking, of course, I rolled my eyes and and slightly smiled at him.

But right now I wanted to go home that was the amin reason I called him "C-can you warm me up?" I awkwardly asked "W-what?" He looked at me "Do the thing. Warm me up... I want to go home..." My small smile went away and I looked back down "What? But-" I stopped him from talking "Please." Altho Preston can change his temperature of heatness he can do the same with others.

"Mitch, I-I can't do that! It's very hard! Very, very hard! It's the same as if you tried to lift an entire sky scraper! Impossible!" He continued ranting on I looked at him he looked like me a coupple of hours ago "What if I help you? It can't be that hard. Right?" Pretson stopped at starred at me "Yeah. Go lift the Eiffel Tower and come back to me and tell me it's not hard. You do know you can die right. Oh, too cold, to hot! Wow a thousand degrees! I probably can't even survive that! Mitch, I could mess up, a-and I don't want to hurt you, Vikk would get mad at me-" "Oh you know that's false." I said looking at him "No, we aren't allowed to do anything in school! We aren't supposed to fight back! So what makes you think I am doing this because you are risking a coupple of things."

"Preston. They are not afraid to break a bone on your body. No matter how hard you try to cooperate they don't care. And I know they will be hurting us more than Jerome, Rob, and Lachlan, because they are not afriad to fight back without showing too much. They will do it over and over and over again. They will enjoy it as well. They are pure evil and this time I am not being over dramatic." "So are you going with them?" Preston asked scared, I nodded frowning "It's better than seeing you guys being tortured." I looked up at him and smiled "I'll be fine. I have teleconisis." I pointed at my brain, he heled out his hand, I smiled and grabbed his hand, I could feel his hand shaking. He closed his eyes and I could feel it getting colder in the room.

But I didn't feel sick, Preston let go of my hand and rubbed his palm "Their... You can leave. But I prefer covering yourself up more it gets cold." "Oh, I am already feeling the cold." Preston sighed "Normally how I feel." I gave him an odd look if he can control his temperature why would the cold be a problem to him "Can't you just keep yourself warm?" "Umm... It's not that simple. When I lower my tempature then I am most likely going to be 'sick' and it's not like the normal ones. It's like ten times worse. For once I actually feel heat, during it, and it's more than summer heat in Texas or something like that more like blue fire." He sighed "And sometimes during winter when I don't keep my temp high, I get a cold. It gets freezing, probably something below zero in the negatives. That's why I normally keep it at a high enough tempature to warm myself." He said turning to face the door.

"So I'd rather wear warm clothing. It should calm down lator on. It takes more than an hour." Preston walked over to the door his hand on the handle "Call me if you feel like you are going to freeze. Sweating goes with it." He unlocked the door openeing it and walking out not saying a word closing the door from behind him but then he stopped "Don't do anything you would normally do." And he shut the door. I stood up grabbing my stuff and sighed quickly walking out. I made my way to the nurses office and quietly opened the door.

"How may I help you?" The kind lady asked "I- uhh, I have a headache, my stomach hurts, and it got very cold all of a sudden." She nodded and aksed for my name "Mitchell but I perfure Mitch." She nodded and grabbed her clipboard 'Just take my tempature already I wanna leave!' I thought as I waited patiently for her to do whatever she was doing.

She handed me a paper thermometer "Place it in your mouth and wait about a minute." I nodded putting the plastic peice in my mouth and sat down on a waiting chair I waited tapping my fingers on my lap getting bored instantly "Okay, Mitch what does it read?" I took it out and looked at it "One o-five." She nodded hesitantly, "Do you need to call someone? A parent? Because you do have a fever. Staying here might not help." I thought for a second before nodding "Umm yeah. I'll call my dad." This might be hard I grabbed my phone and dialed Preston.

He instantly picked up "Hey..." I said facing away from the nurse "You need parents to come and pick you up don't you?" "Yes." I heard a sigh on the end then I heard a voice "Preston who you talking to?" "No one, Rob!" "Lies." "Go away." "Hi Mitch!" I rubbed my head and turned to look back at the nurse and away again "Guys I really need help here." I hissed quietly making sure not to be loud "Do you need me to talk to him sweathart?" I looked at the nurse a soft smile on my face "Uh-" "Here let me just talk to him." "O-okay..." I mentally cursed "Act." I mumbled before handing the phone to the nurse I left it on speaker so I could hear too "Is the parent of Mitch." I rubbed my eyes and mentally facpalmed. This is going to be the worst minuets of my life.

"Yes." Preston tried to put a deep voice "So your son is sick and he needs to be taken home from school." The nurse said "Who is that this time? Hello?" Rob asked from the phone I could tell Preston is trying to keep him away from the phone "Exuse me sir? Is this your friend?" She turned to me I shook my head "Uh sorry. I have another sick child. Must have gotten it from him. Huh weird." "Hey-" Rob voice went muffled after that "Childern am I right? So annoying." I covered my mouth trying not to laugh out loud. Oh, what is going through the nurses head "Go to bed." "No!" "Go to sleep child!" "Noo!" "Hey! You two keep it down!" That was his teacher "Sorry." The nurse looked at me, I got into a serious face just in time before she saw me smile.

"Sorry. Dramatic family." I shurgged "Don't worry about him that was, their granpa." "What did you say?" "He doesn't like being called that beacsue it makes him feel old." Preton whispired quickly "Give me that!" His teacher yelled "I'll pick you up in five minutes, bye, love you!" Preston hung up, and I could guess his teacher took his phone away, and I can also imagine him whinning and coming up with exuses why he was on the phone with someone. And I am questioning how their teacher let them make a phone call during class.

The nurse handed me my phone back, and she didn't really look happy. But, she didn't look mad either "You are dismissed." She sighed in disappointment. I grabbed my stuff thanked her and headed out. I walked over to the entrance and left. I took a deep breath of freash air.

Yes skipping school the old fashion way, fake sickness. Altho, it was very cold so I had to rush outa here.

"Why hello Mitch!"

'Oh dear gosh! Why Now!'

So I have a problem actually mutipule probs but I'll start with one...

I have one draft left that is compleated, after this, the others are ideas that I got to it but lost the story plot 😂, (Basically brain dead)

Another problem is about this series of oneshots, "Secrets: The Pack", I also got stuck after digging myself in the hole for this, I will see what to do. Don't worry.

The other problem is that I have gotten into Hermitcraft recently and I am wondering, would you like to see a chapter? (Seprate from the pack of course) and what characters.

And proabably the last thing is, although I am running out of ideas, updates will end up less, BUT because I am running out of YouTube videos to watch, and I am too lazy to draw (But I recently got into it, so maybe art might be uploaded into my art book) I might be on wattpad, but because I have been caught into Hermitcraft... It might be a fifty percent chance (probs less) that I am going to be writing.

So if you are hyped for updates, lol sorry 😂

But don't worry... Next week will be a long one above 4,000 words😉😉
