Tom has the illness of love!!

In chapter 12 they are talking about that tom gets sick. His aunt tries to give him some pills because she wanted to cure him but any of tha pills worked until she found one really good and strong because it worked on him. at the next day he was early at school and that was ussually strange. For me tom is not rally sick, or yes he is... he is sick of love! He was kind of depressed because he didnt notice about Becky because she was sick and she wasnt going to school, so he got kind of depressed but not sick!
