It started like a mild stomach upset as Jane kept complaining to her hall mistress who at first waved it aside as the usual and normal students pranks. But Jane's friends who have always been with her appeared not surprised with her stomach complaints.
The weather looks much warmer and even if she had consumed a cold food, that should not be enough reason for her 'inordinate' behaviour. But her friends go the pattern recognition and simply took her to the school clinic which was outside the city scape.
On arrival, Jane was examined by a physician and after series of tests she was diagnosed of a tumor within her stomach region. The stripes were visible enough and Jane was admitted in the hospital for three weeks.
The tumor was successfully operated upon and Jane looks visibly tired after the surgery. Her friends came and spent some days with her at the hospital reassuring her that she will definitely get better. About three days after the surgery Jane felt much better and was accordingly discharged.
