Amanda swallowed the yellow vial. The aftertaste was a little bitter but nothing too unbearable. Ten minutes went by, nothing. Fifteen, twenty. At exactly the 22 minute mark, Amanda felt a gurgling in her stomach. Then her face turned red as all of her muscles began to cramp up all at once.
"AHH!!!! IT HURTS!!!"
"Amanda!! Are you alright???"
"No you idiot! Do you think I'm screaming because it feels good??"
"What can I do??"
"I don't know what's happenin - ohhh!! Here it comes again!!!"
Amanda fell off her stool and began convulsing on the ground. Justin quickly cleared area around her and watched helplessly as she continued to seize. After 3 minutes, the seizure stopped and Justin helped her to her feet.
"Are you alright?"
"I think so, but right now all I want to do is sleep."
Do you want me to take you home?"
"I think I can manage on my own, thanks Justin."
Justin walked with Amanda out to the parking lot and helped her into her car.
"I'm so sorry Amanda."
Amanda smiled at him weakly.
"What are you sorry about? You didn't force me to drink that stuff. Just make sure to fix that freaky side effect. Got it?"
"Yeah..."
"Hey. Don't worry about me. I'll see you tomorrow."
Justin smiled at her guiltily as she pulled out of the parking lot and drove off.
