She pulled away " I'll call you tomorrow if you feel all right," she told him, kissing him one more time " Bye Call me if you need me OK?," she told him, walking out of the door.

OOC: We can make it the next day now :]
 
Jen had finished all of her homework the night before, so she slept in a little later than usual and got up. She took a shower, got her things ready, and then went downstairs to make breakfast.

Dan, on the other hand, had a fever of 102, and had trouble falling asleep. His mother didn't have work that day, so he stayed at home. He called Chilena to tell her that he would stay at home.
 
Chilena told him she had to stay home as well because she had a fever 100 " I'll be fine I'll be at school around the fourth mod," she told him, sneezing.

Dan sighed. "I told you you'd get sick..." he laughed. "Well, I'm going to go back to bed...g'night."
 
OOC: We will assume that Starflower's British character had a good supper at the Pansit Paradise, and that she learned more about her new community from speaking with people present there. SO IT IS THURSDAY NOW!

Alipang promised Chilena that he would try to get notes from today's classes for both her and Dan. Otherwise, his thoughts were on Kim. Would she refuse to come to work this afternoon just because he had NOT knuckled under to being treated like a baby by her? Claiming he would fight over words alone--ha! He hadn't even done that _before_ he became a Christian. Every physical incident he had been in at school so far involved a _physical_ provocation.

Still, he hated to think of Kim depriving herself of needed employment over an argument. On the other hand, SHE had made it an argument, as far as matters between her and Alipang were concerned. Alipang had been doing his duty: coming to the defense not only of the directly-assaulted Dan, but also of Chilena who had recklessly moved dangerously close to Rocknose. So what had Kim contributed to the situation? Scolding Alipang! Jason, of course, had made things worse by sucker-punching Rocknose and confusing the moral distinction of aggressor and victim. And then, while Alipang had been trying to be sure Dan and Chilena were okay, Kim had pulled Jason away from Rocknose, potentially exposing _herself_ to harm, as if Alipang hadn't had enough people to worry about.

Stewing over these things while walking to school, Alipang almost forgot that he still was carrying his balisong knife, prohibited on campus. As if Leopard Man ever got into trouble for carrying! But of course it was _only_ the troublemakers who got a free ride.

Scanning to make sure no one saw what he did, Alipang hurriedly stashed his blade in a certain large bush not far from school, one where he had hidden Escrima sticks more than once without anyone disturbing them. Hopefully, it would still be there to retrieve later.
 
" Thanks Al," she told him, making weird sounds " Ah, I don't want to be in bed all day what am I do?," she told him, coughing hard.
 
"You _will_ stay in bed today," said their mother to Chilena, in her seldom-used no-argument-allowed voice. "You are _not_ leaving the house. Better one day in bed recovering than five days wasting your efforts. And yes, Chil-Chil, I _know_ your brother is going to school still bruised. But like it or not, he IS hardened to that kind of pain."

So Alipang went to school as previously described. Sammy Ashford met him with a greeting, as did Lacey's brother Tyrone from Escrima class.
