She hadn't slept well. Not only because of whatever the hell had fallen from the sky, which was a scary enough notion on its own, but because of the power outage. And that wasn't even all; seeing as Sarah-Jane had gone to bed as soon as the blackout had happened, she had not remembered to turn anything off: Lights, television, fan...
Needless to say, at around 4am Sarah-Jane jumped out of bed with the bedside table light hitting her eyes as the television turned on. When she was finally able to calm herself down, she had a massive headache to go with the scare.
And then as she left her dorm room, all she could hear about was the youtube video about the so-called meteor.
She couldn't understand it, obviously. But more than that she couldn't understand why she felt general body aches as if she had a fever, without the actual fever. Hell, she hadn't been sick in years!
