Graduation Trip Gone Wrong: The Med Swap
Mrs. Winter
During my graduation trip, my friends and I go on a road trip to the plateau. That's when I get afflicted with altitude sickness.
As dark spots begin to form in my vision, I realize that my anti-sickness medication, which can definitely save my life, has been swapped for ibuprofen instead.
I'm about to start demanding answers from the group when my fiance, Zayden Lowry, stops me.
"Sorry, Noelle. I've given your imported medication to Erica. You should take some ibuprofen and try to ride out your sickness for the time being."
I clutch the box of ibuprofen, already finding it difficult to breathe.
"So, you're just going to make me wait for my death after taking ibuprofen, huh?"
Zayden frowns deeply at me. "How could you say that? Erica is frail, but you shouldn’t curse her like that!
"This trip is meant for us to enjoy Mother Nature's beauty, not an opportunity for you to show off your expensive medication!
"My mom is right. You really need to change that spoiled temperament of yours. If not, I won't be able to afford your expenses, seeing as you're the frail type who collapses over the slightest inconvenience."
I no longer pay Zayden any attention. Using what's left of my strength, I send my dad a text.
"Dad, send someone here to take me home. Also, you can terminate the collaboration between our company and Zayden's."
