[RL with Chuck-Touchy Feely Virus Day One
It wasn't the first time she had faked being sick. What with being a mediator she'd had to skip school more times than she could count. Besides, it didn't take much to convince her mother that she was sick. A few coughs and a moan of pain here or there and the deal was sealed.
As planned, when it was about time for her to leave for school, Suze slipped back into bed and prepared to look sick. She sunk back as far as she could go into the bed and started her 'cough'. Of course she made sure to stay at the far side of the bed so that her arm was dangling over enough for Chuck to reach her hand from under the bed. Thanks to her extra long bed covers, it was impossible to see under the bed unless you lifted the sheets. For now, it was the perfect hiding spot.
Only a few minutes later she heard her mom call from the stairs, and knew she would be coming to the room any second. "She's coming," Suze whispered to Chuck. "Be quiet and don't move and we'll be fine."
