Some people think I'm bonkers, but I just think I'm free

Hey everybody.
Long time no talk aye? How have you all been? Studying more than me I hope.
I've been M.I.A because I caught a bad case of the flu. Possibly swine.
Haha, well, I'm pretty sure it isn't swine but I just like saying it because I get to go into 'quarantine'. And we all know what that means. No interaction with Hannah whatsoever.

Yeah, Mum went a bit OTT when she saw the Tamiflu the Doctor prescribed me. She didn't permit Hannah any physical contact with me. She bought some Glen 20 home and "sanitised the air". Oh wait, no! Glen 20 doesn't sanitise the air! The Oust 3 in 1 does that. Obviously I've been bed-ridden long enough to know that advertisement back to front. Anyway, so Mum sanitised heaps of surfaces. She also bought those little dettol hand wash things which don't need water so Hannah can carry them around.

Over the past few days, I've been exploiting my sickness. "Well, how do you do that?" I hear you ask. Well, the only loser in it is Hannah.
I've been settling arguments by coughing on things. For e.g. Dad brought home two of those 4 in 1 pens that he bought from Officeworks. Only one of them had all the colours necessary for school. Dad put it on my desk while I was studying and I was like, "Oh yeah, cool, thanks Dad." And then Hannah comes barging in and goes, "Helene can I swap with you?" and well...here's how it went down:

Hannah: Helene, can I swap with you?
Helene: Why?
Hannah: Just cos.
Helene: Why?
Hannah: I don't like the colours on my one!
Helene: Well I like the colours on my one. What are the colours on your one?
Hannah: Green and purple and stuff.
Helene: Those colours sound just fine.
Hannah: No they aren't! I want to use my pen for school. I need it for school!
Helene: Whose school life is more important right now?!
Hannah: Just give me the stupid pen!
Helene: No, it's my pen! I got it first!

I saw her grabbing for the pen. Think of all this in slow motion guys. And then I did the only thing I knew would secure my future with that pen. You know it. I coughed on it. Quite a lot as well.

And then Hannah stormed away and was like "FINE. I'LL USE THAT GREEN AND PURPLE PEN."


Yes, it's fun being sick when you're me.

Adios Amigos,
Helene
