Smells like teen spirit

When the teen wonder dragged himself down from his bedroom he glared at the blank TV screen and said he was sick. Was he going to school? He shrugged.
When he was informed that the question required a Yes or No answer he mumbled and pulled a blanket up over his head.
Was he going to school? "Yes... No... Maybe... I don't know. Could you repeat the question?"
He was up.
I got the car keys.
He was down.
I put them back.
He was up.
I retrieved the keys
Eventually,I bullied him into going to school and and we ran through the rain to the car.
We made it a half a block before he began to vomit.
He was back on the couch before my feet hit the driveway.
