Boys: what?
Nick: and you're just now telling us?
Annie: yes is there a problemNick sighs and got up hurried to grab her diabetic kit and before rushing upstairs and Annie said.
Annie: what, what's wrong?
Kevin: if Hayley is sick you need to tell us right away because sickness while
being diabetic her levels can get mix up all over the place and sometimes she is either high or low or needs to be in hospital until her fever is down
Annie: oh I didn't know that
Kevin: well now you knowWith Hayley:
Hayley was in her bed covering herself and putting a pad over her head pretending to be sick. She hears footsteps and quickly hides the heat in pad and covers herself back up just as Nick enters the room.Nick: hey bug, Annie told me you weren't feeling too well this morning
Hayley: (lie) uh huh... I don't want to leave the bed
Nick: okay well let me feel your temperature firstNick feels her forehead and he moved away quickly.
Nick: woah kiddo you're burning up, I see you took your temperature too
Hayley: yeah I did, lookHayley showed him the theremother and he look at it and the temperature on the stick was higher than normal and he grew a bit suspicious.
Nick: huh, this is higher than normal kiddo, when did you start feeling sick?
Hayley: (lies) this morning
Nick: hmm...
Hayley: hmm.. what?
Nick: usually if you have this temperature you would be in the hospital
Hayley: I hate hospital
Nick: I know baby, but if you're feeling this sick than we have to go
Hayley: (gets up) but I feel better now Nicky, I don't need to go to the hospital
Nick: I figure you will feel better
Hayley: huh?Nick took something out from under her pillow and said.
Nick: busted
Hayley: (face blushed) oh...
Nick: what are you doing faking sick kiddo?
Hayley: I-I-
Nick: you know faking sick is like lying
Hayley: I didn't lie
Nick: lie of omission. Do you know how serious being sick while being diabetic is?
Hayley: no
Nick: it means that you're levels will be out of place all the time it might be low or high sometimes when you're sick
Hayley: oh, I didn't know that
Nick: well now you know, that's why you can't fake sick now because this is very serious kiddo
Hayley: I'm sorry Nicky
Nick: why don't you want to go to school today?
Hayley: I just don't want too
Nick: that's not a good enough reason
Hayley: it's b-because (lie) of a test we are taking in school
Nick: that's it? Hayley you have taken a lot of test in school
Hayley: I-I know but this one is different because if we don't do will it will detect what reading group we have to be in, and I don't want to be in the slow reading group

Annie: um... no thank you. I have someone waiting for me on the bus
Nick: like who?
Annie: uh... nobody bye! (runs out)
Nick: (looks suspicious and look at Hayley) you know what's that about
Hayley: (shrugs shoulder) I dunno but I can find out for you from my friends
