The Flu (Part 2)

I currently have a free period at school, and I just walked into the teacher's workroom (which also happens to have a small room for the sick kids).

It took a few too many seconds for my brain to register what I had just walked into. The school secretary was dialing the phone, a flushed 2nd grader was standing by her side, and a smell.... something familiar.... was flooding my nose.

Oh my God, I realized with a gag. It's puke. That child just puked.

I turned around, walked out, tried to convince myself not to vomit, and went immediately to the bathroom to cleanse myself of whatever germs I had just encountered.

Ugh.
