Three Teens
Disclaimer: I do not take any credit for Tamora Peirce's lovely work!
Note: I'm so sorry for all my grammar and spelling errors in my previous chapter. I suck at proof reading, I get to into fixing the flow and how it sounds and then I forget grammar, oops. I also have problems witht the word "yea" as in "yes" because I've seen it spelled with and "H"(yeah) and without. Hmmmmm... anyways! Thankx forreviewing ! Keep Reviewing!
The three teens sat in a large, old, oak tree, eating candy. The tree overlooked a sidewalk so they could watch the trick-or-treaters walking below them.
"I don't like it up here you guys! I really don't like heights!" said a tall girl, clinging to the branch they were perched on.
" Yea, now you're really taking the whole Kel thing a lil' too seriously!" Teased the one in the middle. " You don't see me trying to do magic or anything!"
" Hey! That's cause you can't do magic 'cause its not REAL!" Retorted the Kel-wanna-be. "At least I don't have freakin' purple contacts!"
" Or died your hair red," added the third teen, as she munched on a sugar free candy bar.
" Yea, or died my hair red!!!"
"Neither of you really had to do anything cause you already look like Daine and Kel!" said Hannah, the Alanna-wanna-be.
"Well accept for Ingrid's insulin pump," she turned to the diabetic Daine-wanna-be. " And Merry your hair is too long."
" Well I really am afraid of heights," Meredith said.
" Yeah, and I really have to check my sugars!" Ingrid said. " I feel really faint, I think I over confiscated with insulin for the candy."
"Okay! I get the point!" Hannah huffed. " Its getting cold anyways, I hate the cold." They all laughed any annoyance forgotten.
"What?" she asked with feigned confusion. " I really don't like the cold!"
Once they had stopped laughing long enough Ingrid urged him on down the tree.
"Merry ( Meredith), you get down first since----"

Hi! Its me again! Sorry this is so short...it wouldn't work to have this go with another chapter...I tried it (lol). Anyways, as you might have noticed ( and hopefully you did) one on the girls has juvenile diabetes, also known as type one.You probably need a little background on that for this story. So here goes! You have a pancreas...right..and it produces insulin that helps your cels to process food (glucose) but when you have diabetes(type one) your pancreas can't make insulin...its broken. So you have to take either take shots(ofinsulin)at every meal or about three to four times a day, oryou have an insulin pump. That is what the girl in this story has. With and insulin pump you have a tube in you that you change every three days. This way you "plug in" the amount of insulin that you would need for what you are doing. Okay but thats not it! You also have to check your sugars to make sure they are not high or low with a sugar kit or glucose metor. That is what " checking your sugars" is. I think you can understand it now butif you are confuse please email me! Cool, sorry for my rant. Review!!!!!!!!!!!
