"I love the Conjuring too!" Your orbs sparkled. "This is the first time I've met someone who also likes the Conjuring!" I couldn't help the corners of my mouth twitch up.
I felt heat rush to my face as you walked over. You tilted your head, and before I could say anything, you pressed a hand against my forehead. I jumped in surprise.
"You're boiling, are you sick?" You exclaimed worriedly, and I stumbled across my words. "I don't think so..." I managed out. What was wrong with me?
