factitious
A fake fever you make yourself because you’re too lazy to actually be sick and just want everyone to think you’re dramatic.
"I’m dying! My fever is 105 degrees!", A kid who just forgot to take his medicine.
"I used a hairdryer to make my fever. It’s working.", A kid who’s still in pajamas at 3 p. m.
"I’m not sick. I’m just practicing for my death.", A kid who’s tired of living.
