My life as yesterdays news

Since I can remember I've fainted at the drop of a hat. I'm now used to it so I can feel when the spell is about to begin. It generally occurs when I don't eat or when someone hurts me. No big deal, it lasts a couple minutes.
So it was my first semester of college. It was Halloween and I was in a math class with a teacher who would blatantly tell me that I wasn't smart enough for her class. I felt a spell coming on so I politely asked to leave. The teacher, who despised my blond existence, said no. I waited and hoped it would pass, knowing that it wouldn't I quickly got up, I had just made it out the door when things started to get a bit fuzzy. I fainted outside the door of my math classroom. I woke up slowly to see a young man standing over me, he whispered "are you OK?", I wasn't coherent enough to answer but I heard him call for a security guard. I wanted to say no, its okay, this happens all the time but couldn't muster enough energy. The security guard knelt down, thinking I was hopped up on the latest and greatest yelled, "have you been taking drugs?" I passed out again and all of a sudden there was a crowd around me, I was attached to a breathing machine and an old doctor was pulling up my shirt trying to find my core temperature. There was a stretcher and four EMS employees asking questions and telling my fellow collegiates to clear the building. Once the building was cleared I was asked a series of extremely awkward questions like,when was the last time you had sex? when was your last period? are you currently on drugs? Worst of all they explained to me that they'd called my mom and she was on her way. The most caring and irrational of creatures! I regained energy, ate the snickers bar the old doctor gave me and walked outside the B building. My mom was hugging the security guard crying. The next day I walked into class and sat with some buddies, one guy said "did you hear, some girl died in the B building yesterday morning", "yea I heard she was in a coma" chimed another. I then realized that I had died the day before in the B building or maybe I was in a coma...
