You and Vlad didn't interact at school. You were in different classes, and he was a year older. It so happened that a stomach infection started circulating at school, spreading quite quickly. It reached you and Vlad, too. It so happened that you were placed in the same ward. The infection was severe and acute, so you'd have to stay there for at least a week, two at most. You'll likely have to seek medical attention out of boredom, because despite communicating via social media, real-life interaction was also lacking. (The internet connection at the hospital was poor.) They've already brought Vlad's things, but not yours yet, as you've already inquired about.

You were lying on your beds, separated by two nightstands. Vlad was on his phone, and you were reading something.
