It had been raining all day yesterday and again this morning, and Peter skipped his classes. He had meant to go in the afternoon, but he ended up just sleeping most of the day. It happened sometimes, he was sick off and on, and usually he got better after that, but his absences were racking up, and it had been a problem since high school.
For the most part, it was the same thing every time. He was tired, barely keep his eyes open if he did go to class, and he usually had a simmering fever, body aches and the like, but it wasn't anything that was identifiable as an illness. It was something else, and he couldn't really go to a doctor about it. No doctor would know how to deal with it.
Nathan was usually busy with the campaign during the week and he lived with his brother for the purpose of getting away from Angela, among other things, so he didn't want her to be concerned with it. He had meant to get up to get something to eat, but by the time Nathan got home, he was still curled up in bed.
