Dear Diary,
I've been feeling pretty funny lately…it's lasted about a week. My family and friends are worried. I don't understand why? It's probably a bad case of the flu or a virus or something logical. Then again, considering some of the adventures my friends and I get ourselves into, it couldn't possibly be logical! Haha, I'm just kidding. There's couldn't be anything wrong with me. Nothing life threatening, of course. Well, I'm off to the doctors. Watch. It's going to be a bad virus. I'll bet you anything.
I'll bet my life on it.
Better go!
Sincerely, Caterina Valentine

Cat's POV

I sat with my mother in a small white room on a Wednesday morning, and it was quite chilly in there. There isn't anything fun to do. Couldn't I at least wait in the waiting room where there was a dollhouse to play with? Or magazines that were halfway interesting to read? I don't know how my mom can keep reading the same "Times" magazine over and over again. She looks nervous, but I have no idea why. What's there to be nervous about?
As I told my diary, nothing can ever happen to me that would be this serious.
So what if I'm sick?
So what if I have a strange looking lump on my chest?
Things like that happen.
Has anyone heard of a mosquito bite?
"Mom?" I tug on my mother's blouse lightly, swinging my legs back and forth in my seat since I'm too short to touch the ground properly.
My mother looks to me with worried eyes. "Yes, my daughter?" She puts an arm around me and runs her fingers through my hair, kissing my head.
She's only affectionate like this when I'm sick.
"When can I go to school?" I ask, leaning my head on her shoulder. "I don't want to miss Sikowitz's class."
It's only 7:30, but I still want to get to school.
"In a few minutes, dear." She says softly. "We just need to have the doctor tell us what's going on and then we'll be getting your talented little self to school." She pokes my stomach and I giggle.
The door opens.
I look towards the door and the man in a white coat comes in with a clipboard. He's old and wrinkly, with no emotion what-so-ever.
He's not my doctor.
"Where's Dr. Bossingham?" I ask shyly.
"She's out this morning." He says, rather dull sounding. "I'm Dr. Daglish. Caterina, your test results are in, hence why we have called you in here in such a hurry."
I nod, not really expecting anything to be wrong. "And?" I ask with a smile, excited to almost be out of this boring place and back at school with my friends and teachers.
He looks me in the eye and sighs. "Caterina, you have Breast Cancer."
Oh…um, I wasn't expecting that one.

The school day went by normally, since the reality of the cancer situation hasn't entirely hit me yet. I came into Sikowitz's class late because it took a while for my mom to stop crying and hugging me at the Doctor's office. Everyone greeted me with smiles and Sikowitz took excused note and told me he was glad to see me this morning. I sat down next to Beck, my best friend in the whole world, and the class went on.
Lunch came and that's when the real questions began.
"So Cat, why were you late to class this morning?" Tori asks casually, after taking a bite into her burrito.
I hate when people talk with their mouth full, but oh well.
I rub my lips together.
The thought hadn't crossed my mind yet of how I would be telling my friends or how they would react to this. I don't want to be treated differently and I don't want them to feel horrible. I want things to stay the way they are.
Actually, maybe I don't.
If I'm going to die, then I'm going to start living life to the fullest and doing all the things I've wanted to do before I passed away.
But I don't want to do that on my own.
"I went to the doctors." I tell them simply. "My test results had come in."
"Finally!" They all say at different times.
Andre nudges me. "What'd it say?"
My lip trembles. I don't want to cry, but telling my five best friends in the whole world was probably the hardest thing I will have to do.
"It's bad news." I mumble, but they hear me.
I think their stomach's dropped.
"What is it, Cat?" Jade asks with fear, which is something we never hear from her.
I take a deep breath.
Here we go.
"I have Breast Cancer."
Okay, I know the symptoms of Breast Cancer aren't that much, but I'm going to tweak it a little. I'm going to make Cat weak, tired, and stuff like that. Ok? So let's pretend a bit. Use your imagination.
The chapters won't always be THIS short and I have chapters 2-25 ALL FINISHED! So please review! There'll be no LONG wait anymore! ...but I like my reviews :)

Important message: Hey, guys this is actually Izzy posting this. My sister (digidestend angel) has no idea when she'll be able to write the next chapter of 12 sessions with caterina because she and her sort of boyfriend rushed their son Nathaniel to the emergency room. Hopefully when I get more info about whats going on about Nathaniel, I'll update my story "Struggles" and let you guys know. Okay? Just pray for my nephew. I'm stuck at home with my younger brother who's irritating me. Anyways my sister wanted me to post this so you guys can have something to read of hers while you wait for the other story. She already had this story all neat and ready to go, so that's why it looks so written perfect and stuff.
Thanks guys.
