[ 2:30 PM ]
The watch was ticking and it stopped. A glasses-less me, can't read what's on the whiteboard. I took out my mobile phone and hid under the shawl. Constantly looking at the time and I was caught red-handed by the invigilator.
"Surrender your phone to me." I obediently listened to his command.
A worried sick me, perspired profusely. Cold sweat. I saw double vision and my pen fell off my hand. Many times, I dropped flat on the table. Uncontrollable cough and sneeze. It was difficult to recall the answer for the test question. I have studied so hard and my brain wasn't functioning.
Reluctantly, I raised up my already weak arm to ask for permission. Judging from his facial expression, with my blurred vision, he looked concern at my pale face. Every step I took there, I felt like falling. I decided to drop out from my paper.
"High fever, almost 39 degree. You're experiencing side effects of it."
It was shocking. The doctor ended the session with - "If you continue the bad habit of not eating well, you're at risk of anorexia."
That said, I'm showing symptoms. I don't know how she knew but it's scaring me. Im not at the drastic end of weight loss. I'm maintaining a good unhealthy 7kilo loss for the past 2.5 months.
Medicine claimed to have little drowsiness effect was a lie. It put me to sleep almost immediately. I have yet to complete my revision for tomorrow's paper. I can't afford to cure the illness at the rate I'm going.
I have no choice but I'm not alone in this battle. Pray me good luck and health!
