~Troy~
I woke up in cold sweat, gasping and shaking in fear. I tried to calm myself down but only managed to make myself panic more which made me sick. I rushed to the bathroom vomiting violently into the toilet.

Hunched over the toilet, I thought about all the other times I've had this dream and never have I ever woken up this scared or made myself sick over it. After all it was just a dream...right?

Kreepox wouldn't come back-- couldn't come back. I mean I know he wants to destroy me and all the rangers but would he really go as far as to turn himself human and..kidnap me? Torture me?

Whatever the reason was for me having these dreams lately, I didn't care. I just wanted them to stop. But of course I had no control over what I dreamt about.

Flushing the toilet, I headed back into my room to get ready for school. I threw on a pair of dark washed jeans, a black Hollister shirt and my signature black leather jacket. I slipped on my Jay's and headed out of the house locking up. My mom was already at work.

I didn't feel like taking my bike so I walked. Besides I was in no shape to be on a bike no how, seeing as my stomach wasn't stable at the moment.

Upon reaching the high school, I spotted Jake, Jayden and Nick. They hadn't spotted me yet so I tried my best to avoid them but that was an epic fail.

"Troy!" Jake shouted in greeting.

I gave a quick wave and kept walking. I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now so I was just going to have to avoid all of my friends today.

Which was proving to be quite difficult.

Jake, Jayden and Nick caught up to me and Jake grabbed my arm, causing me to flinch away from him. Surprised, Jake stepped back after pulling his hand away from me.

"Troy what's wrong?" Jayden asked me.

Shaking my head I backed away from the three of them. "Uh..nothing. Just my nerves, is all."

I spun on my heel and ran to my nearest class as fast as I could.

*******
I felt bad for what happened earlier between Jake and I but he caught me off guard and I was nervous as it is. Right now I was in the bathroom puking my guts out into the toilet. It felt like I was dying or something with how hard I was heaving up stuff. After throwing up everything that was in my stomach, I just say there gagging and heaving up nothing.

The bathroom door opened at that moment and Nick walked in with the whole gang trailing behind him. Jayden, Mike, Kevin...all of them.

"Troy, you in here?" Mine called.

I groaned in answer without intentionally doing so and threw up again. I had thought I'd gotten everything up out of my stomach. Apparently not.

I sat on my butt and leaned my head back on the stall wall after flushing the toilet. I couldn't bring myself to stand, so I sat there even when the stall door opened and they stood in the doorway, watching me.

"Oh my god, Troy." Noah says.

Orion kneels down beside me and puts his hand on my forehead. "You have a fever alright."

"How long have you been throwing up?" Jayden asks me.

"Since this morning." I tell them, my voice weak and quiet. "I woke up sick."

Orion seemed deep in thought about something. "Does your head hurt?"

I nod slowly and carefully, saying, "Now that I think about it, yeah. It does."

"Okay help me get him up." Orion said grabbing one of my arms. I protested stubbornly considering I was comfortable. They hoisted me up and my stomach flipped over on itself, causing me to vomit all over Xander's shirt front.

"Well into the washer that one goes when we get home." Xander says.

"Sorry." I muttered.

I let them drag me out of the bathroom and out of the school's front doors to Xander's waiting car. I was hoisted inside and Nick climbed in back with me. He let me rest my head on his shoulder and pretty soon I was asleep.

Thinking of nothing but Nick Russel and how soft his hands were.

Okay don't kill me here. Funny plot twist wouldn't you say? What do you think is going on with Troy?

What's do you think is going on with the whole 'How soft Nick's hands were' thing?

What's going to happen next?
