Ever since his family thought it would be a great idea to go to California Buffet Jeremy just hadn’t been the same. Asian food never seemed to agree with him anyways, so a buffet full of it was just a bad idea from the start. No one seemed to care what he thought though nowadays, so when he told his family that he’d rather go somewhere else they all just acted as if they hadn’t heard him.
After being absent for 2 days due to food poisoning, Jeremy wasn’t looking forward to going to school. Most kids never look forward to school, but Jeremy had an extra reason that kept him from being excited; even though the sickness associated with food poisoning had wore off, the need to sit on the toilet for hours on end did not. That was probably the most disgusting part about food poisoning, and it was all thanks to the laxatives that the doctor had prescribed.
Arriving at school, Jeremy made sure to catch up with a few of his friends, and then promptly headed for his first period as the bell rang. World History with Ms. Jacklin was Jeremy’s least favorite class, so he was glad that he could get it over with right in the morning. Jeremy picked a seat in the back and quickly sat down, not wanting Ms. Jacklin to catch him before class and tell him about the homework he had missed.
As he sat down he felt his jeans strain on his right leg. His parents made him bring the laxatives to school just in case he needed them, and he wasn’t too used to having prescription bottles in his pocket. As much as he tried to adjust he just couldn’t get comfortable, and he finally decided to slip the pills into his backpack instead of being uncomfortable in a class that he already disliked.
As Jeremy slipped the pills out of his pocket, he didn’t realize that class had already began. The annoyance the pill bottle caused must’ve distracted him. To his prevail, right as he pulled the pills out Ms. Jacklin looked straight at him.
“What are those?” Ms. Jacklin asked with an stern voice.
“Nothing, they are just in case I get sick.” Jeremy replied quickly, not wanting the other kids to know about his bowel problems.
“Oh? Let’s see about that,” said Ms. Jacklin as she quickly walked towards him with a hand put out in his direction. Not knowing what to do, Jeremy forfeited the pills to her. “Laxatives?” She said with a smirk. “Having a little stomach problem?” She finished as some of the kids started to giggle.
