The rain sputtered as William reacted to a brush of some one elses mind on theirs. ~who?~ William was sounding a bit drawn out.

Near the Gym Josh stopped them as he also felt the touch. ~I don’t know, who are you?~
*you are tiring all yourselves out. I have sent some teachers out to get our runaway student you all need to get back to you bodies. Josh pull them back or you’re going to suffer worse then you know.* Angelo’s voice was strong compared to their weaker voices. They had not notice the draining that the split had done till they heard him talk to them. Pulling everyone back josh was worried that Lawerence was going to suffer for this.
They all flumped from exhaustion Williams hands sliding free like liquid as he fell forward. “as I feared.”

Tzalmon was holding up a tad better. He pulled at one of William's arms with a last bout of strength so they were both collapsed on the bed. "...How in the world are we going to survive through the rest of our classes, now...?"

Lawrence swayed back and forth, wearily. He seemed like he was in better shape than the other three, though. "I second Tzal's statement...maybe we could all get excused from class..."

“I do not think the dean will excuse all of you from your classes, nor will I be excusing you from your after class duties, other then maybe mister Stanton. I do not think he is going to be waking up any time soon.” Professor Angelo was sitting in one of the chairs that was now near the door. His hands were gently folded in his lap. Josh swayed and then leaned against Lawrence his eyes drooping.
“I don’t think I can go any where.” Josh said weakly.
Standing up Angelo walked carefully over to William and checked his neck for a pulse. William was completely out of it. His had spend all that he could to punish Sam. “as I thought. He has exhausted himself trying to keep the storm where it did not want to stay.” Looking around at the rest of them he sighed. “it would be best if you all got at least a short nap, you should be feeling better by the end of the nap.”

"What if I puke--will he excuse me then?" Tzal sounded like he very well might throw up. The effect of the spell coupled with the feel of the rain and the stress of what had happened today was getting to him. He was also looking a little green...

Lawrence simply sat there, seeming like he wanted to take a very long nap. He pushed his glasses back up onto his face, slowly.

“Just lay down and we will deal with your sick feeling later.” Waving his hand slowly Angelo walked back to the seat. As he passed each one, they fell asleep. Gently they fell into the beds safely. “Now when you wake up you will feel much better.” Gently lifting Tzal up he tucked him in with William, who in his sleep wrapped a protective arm around him. Turning to josh and Lawrence he sighed, “I had hoped that you would not get yourself involved this early but now it is past and I cannot undo it without harm. If only you had waited till your powers were equal.” Lifting both Josh and Lawrence Angelo turned into smoke and disappeared. Where he appeared with the boys was their room. “Now to which bed shall I put you two?” though to most that question would never get an answer Angelo was listening to what they thought of the questions.

Smiling Angelo laid josh in to the bed next to Lawrence. Tucking them in his smile deepened. They would one day work out their problems but for now josh seemed to need Lawrence’s closeness. “There you go, sleep well.” Pulling the blanket up he flinched at the touch from the sun through the window. one day he would find that Ring again. Then he would be able to see the sun and feel it on him. the rest of the period would pass with them blissfully asleep. They would be woken for study hall and they would all feel better…. That is all but William who seems dead to the world.

As soon as Tzalmon woke up, he attempted to get back to sleep. He felt just as terrible as he did when he was pushed into sleep. He scooted closer to William and ducked under the blankets, attempting to block out the rest of the world. He was intent on not getting up, for fear he'd just fall right back over once again.

Lawrence, who had been quite tired, slept for a few minutes longer...

Pulling Tzal closer William snuggled his face into the back of Tzal’s neck. “never again.” He mumbled sleepily.

Groaning josh woke up to the prodding of the student that had been sent to find them, “go way.” He growled then snuggled closer to Lawrence. It was then that he noticed who his teddy bear was, and that they had company.

Tzal seemed to enjoy the company, and just having William near him dulled the sick feeling he had. He was content to just stay there for the rest of the day. He turned himself around slowly so he could rest his forehead against William's chin to sleep.

Lawrence grumbled. "Mama, I don't wanna get up..."

“Excuse me?” the voice was a bit sheepish and not one that belonged in William and Tzal room. “But professor Angelo sent me to wake you up.” It was one of the younger boys, a Tim Links by name. “I would really like to go back to class but I am not to till you’re up… sir.” This poor kid was most definitely out of his depth.
Poking Lawrence in the back Josh looked up at the student that was standing in their room. He raised his eyebrows almost to say ‘not like I have not seen it before.’ “Lawrence…. You might want to wake up.” How he had gotten to Lawrence’s bed Josh did not know, what he did know was that he had not had any dreams. Maybe what he had been needed was just some one there to hold, maybe he should look into a teddy bear.

"Then pull up a chair. I am not getting up." Tzal looked paler than usual. "I feel awful."

Lawrence whined softly. "...Urgh..." After a moment, he sat up, scratching his head sleepily. "What's going on...?" It was obvious he wasn't fully awake yet.

“Professor Angelo sent this along for you to drink.” The kid gingerly held out a green goblet with what looked to be hot chocolate in it. “He said it would make you feel better.”
The student cleared his throat stepping back to the door he grabbed a tray that had been waiting outside the door. On it was two green goblets full of what look indeed to be hot chocolate within them. “Angelo said you two would need these.” Walking over to the bed side table he set them down. “Now I am going to be outside but if you both don’t poke your heads out in the next few minutes I am going to come back in and pull the covers off not matter what is or is not on under there.” The students sounded like he had done this a few times, and with the pin on his uniform saying he was part of the student board it would not be to surprising if he had done this before, but for other reasons.

Tzal pulled the blankets up over his head. "Unless you want me to puke on you, leave..." He sounded bitter, and in pain for some reason. Once again, the childlike side of him was coming out--it always had to be Tzal's way. Though, he honestly didn't feel well.

Lawrence flung the covers off of them himself, to show they were fully clothed. "Making assumptions gets you nowhere in life," he retorted, pointedly. "And I feel fine, so I'm not drinking anything funky..."

“fine.” Tim said timidly. “I will just put this here for you.” He gingerly placed the cup on the side table. A scent of Chocolate wafted from the cup. “and I will wait for you out in the common room.” He was going to have to get one of the bigger boys to help him get this boy out of bed.
Smiling the older boy nodded to the cups. “if you don’t feel like drinking what the professor made up for you that’s fine. He just said you might need a pick me up.” With that the young man stepped back out of the room.
“You did not need to be so frank with him you know.” Josh gingerly touched Lawrence’s shoulder. “I had a roommate ones that always slept in the nude. Which is probable what he thought one of us might have been doing.” In fact Josh was half way there. Sometime during their sleep he had pulled off his shirts and was now laying there with just his pants on. "would you mind passing me one of those glasses, I am not feeling as spunky as your are."

Tzalmon was in a terrible mood, and felt awful. He was intent on not getting out of bed. Plus, he didn't drink drinks that he didn't prepare for himself. It was why he never bought anything to drink from the school cafeteria. He always made his own drinks, his favorite being tea.

Lawrence yawned. "It's against the rules to sleep without at least your pants on. You could get in trouble for it, here," he mumbled, rubbing at his eyes. He grabbed one of the cups and passed it over to Josh, still rubbing at his eyes.

Taking the glass from Lawrence Josh drank it down in one gulp. “so should we ask our keeper what time it is, or do you know what our next class is.” ~not that I would not mind staying here with you.~ josh thought handing the glass back to Lawrence.

~you heard me!~ Josh just stared at Lawrence. ~if this is what we get for that spell I am all for it…… unless I can also hear theirs~ the thought of hearing what William and Tzal were thinking send shivers down his spine. Then he thought he should check on them. Hay Tzal josh reached out to Tzal as he though. you two ok over there?

Tzal groaned. I feel terrible...like I'm going to throw up. I am not getting out of bed. I don't care what anyone says...William is still asleep. Tzal was, of course, being stubborn. He didn't feel well and wouldn't be able to concentrate in the rest of his classes.

Lawrence nodded, smiling. He played with his fingers, thinking that this new power was kind of...cool.

fine stubborn one, go back to sleep. josh chuckled at the thought of the older boy that had threatened Lawrence and him, doing it to William and Tzal. ~so now we can’t be lonely in class, how about you try saying something to me?~ climbing out of bed Josh pulled on a shirt that had been set out on his bed. It was the uniform of the school and where it made other boys look odd it made josh look, that much better. ~um not too bad,~ turning he looked at Lawrence. ~what do you think?~

~you’re not even going to try are you? He can hear us you know.~ josh grabbed his comb and fixed his hair. Maybe he should give some of his new clothes to Lawrence, if he won’t wear the uniforms he could at least wear something nice. With that thought in mind Josh snagged a shirt of Lawrence’s and a pair of pants both of them a bit to worn. He could have the school tailor take in his clothes to fit these.

~Pill~ Josh mentally yelled after Lawrence. Packing up the outfit quickly he sat down to wait for Lawrence.
