Alex frowned slightly at his mothers statement of if he really had the flu. He tried his best to will his forehead to be warmed not caring if it was impossible. Obediently he open his mouth as instructed. When the question of missing anything important was asked the boy paled slightly, worried his mom was catching on, but tried to play it off. "No. I mean not really. I can just make it all up...not a big deal." He attempted to convince her, she was still checking on him so maybe all hope was not lost. As she touched his stomach he moaned in pain as she applied pressure to a random spot. "Ow mom that hurts." He wined falsely hoping to use his mothers concern against her. Of course he had no rude intent against his mother, he truly loved her, but also hated school.
