you technically had an iron deficiency, but nobody really knew about it. you’d constantly have salt packets or had to move slowly out of classes.

it was bad if you didn’t take your medicine, and everybody at school didn’t seem to notice. except for maybe - grant reid. you and grant didn’t get along in any way and mainly bantered or fought.

it was almost a sibling relationship except you hated each other. probably… it’s strange because grant acts weird sometimes and he’s sweet on occasion.

but, alas, you hadn’t taken your iron pills and stood up way too fast in order to get a project. you passed out in the middle of class around about 30 others kids.

when you were conscious again, you were in one of the nurses hammocks, grant sitting in a chair across from it with a bouncing leg - clearly anxious in some way.

“they- uh… told me to bring you here. nobody wanted to.” grant said eventually, his eyes stuck to you. his eyebrows were a little furrowed.
