Chapter Nineteen Caitlin Ranch-Sidle part two!
Sara is trying to sleep but can't because the babies keep moving, as she lays in bed trying to sleep she starts to have a flashback, it is the night of her birthday and Sara goes to bed hoping that when she wakes up in the morning that the stomachache she has would be gone and the stomachache is just from having way too much fun and eating too much food. But in the back of her mind Sara knows that the stomachache probably will not be gone, because for the last few days she has been feeling ache, tired, feverish and she hasn't had an appetite. Sara's alarm clock start buzzes in her ears at six o'clock on Thursday morning, she rolls overs and hits the off button on the alarm clock. Sara then rolls back over and closes her eyes. The long she lies in bed the more nauseate that she is getting from smelling the bacon, eggs and toast her fostered dad is cooking for breakfast. Sara pushes how nausea she is to the back of her mind and gets out of bed. She then throws on a pair of light-colored blue jeans and a blue tank tap, then goes into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom she brushes her tooth and then combs her hair, normal she would just leave her hair down but today she pulls her hair into a ponytail. Sara then hears her fostered mom Beth walking down the hallway.
"Sara have you got out of bed yet?"
"Yes, I am just finish doing my hair in the bathroom."
"Hurry up Bob has breakfast almost done."
At the same time Beth walks up to the bathroom door hold her back, Beth looks at Sara who has just finish put her long dark brown hair into a ponytail and remembers the day three years ago yesterday that Sarah comes to live with them on her thirteen birthdays and is thinking that Sara's has grown up a lot in three years. When Sara first came to live with them, she had not even started having her menstrual cycle yet. In addition Sara had a fear of man because her first fostered dad sexual assault her for a whole year and with seeing her mom stab her Dad seven times in the heart the day after she turned twelve years old. The events that she had lived through had made Sara a very shy and afraid teenage girl that likes to keep to herself. She spends most of her time reading or studying in her bedroom.
"Beth, is everything ok?"
"Yes just remembering the day you come to live here is all. Are you ready to come downstairs for breakfast?"
"I will meet you downstairs in the kitchen. I need to use the bathroom and then I going to grab my backpack out of my bedroom."
"Ok, Sara but hurry it up because you are already run late, I want you to have time to eat before run out the door to walk to school."
"Ok Beth I will try to hurry up."
Beth starts to walk away from the bathroom, as Sara closes the bathroom door. She really did not need to use the bathroom but needs to take her temperature, but does not want Beth or Bob to know that she is not feeling good or has a fever, because she has three tests in school today. Sara gets the thermometer out of the medicine cabinet and then puts the thermometer into her mouth. Sara then sits down on the edge of the bathtub and wait a minute. After a full minute she takes the thermometer out of her mouth and sees that she indeed has a fever and it is 102.1 degrees Fahrenheit. After she put the thermometer away, Sara goes back to her bedroom and grabs her backpack off of her bedroom floor. Sara then slowly walks downstairs trying hard to forgot how nausea the smell of the food is making her. A few minutes later Bob and Beth see Sara set her backpack down on the floor outside the kitche before walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the kitchen table. Bob walks over and set down a plate full of bacon, eggs and two pieces of toast in front of Sara, then Beth hands Sara a glass of apple juice, a few moments later Beth and Bob join Sara at the table for breakfast. Mr. Car look at Sara who has start to eat a piece of toast.
"So Sara's are you ready for your algebra 2, Science and English tests today?"
"I guess so Bob."
Sara set the toast back down on the plate, Mrs. Cat looks over at Sara and notice she only take one bite of toast and has not touch the rest of her breakfast yet."
"Sara's you only eat one bite of toast and you really need to eat breakfast that way you have enough energy to take all three tests this morning."
"I do not have an appetite this morning."
"At lest eat your toasts Sara."
"Ok Bob and can I eat the toasts as I walk to school?"
"(Mr. and Mrs. Cat) sure Sara's you need to get going anyway, I don't want you to be late for school."
Sara stands up from the chair she is sitting on and then pick up the two pieces of toast. Sara walks out of the kitchen and grabs her backpack and Then Sara starts walking to the front door of the house to leave for school, but Bob's stop Sara and hand Sara's her lunch bag. Sara puts her lunch into her backpack then leave for school. Once at the high school Sara goes to her first class which is algebra class. Once in the classroom she walks to the back of the classroom and walks over to the desk that is in the corner that is by the window. Before sitting down to review her notes, Sara open up the window to let the wind blow into the classroom, because she is burning up and can't cool down. She then moves her desk closes to the window. The bell for class to start rings and the rest of the class comes into the class room. The algebra teacher Miss. Simpson walks into the classroom and start passes out the test.
"All right class you have the whole hour to take the test, but if you get down early start working on chapter six, seven and eight in your textbook."
Sara and the rest of the class start taking the test and Sara finish her test within her normal twenty minutes, then Sara walks her finish test up to the teacher's desk and puts the test on the done pile. But instead of starting the new chapters she lays her head down on her desk and closes her eyes until the bell to head to second hour rings. In second and third hours classes Sara takes her tests and finish in twenty minutes like the math test, then lays her head down on the desk and the lab table after taking the tests in English and Science classes too. At the start of fourth hour, which is lunch hour for Sara and her best friend of three years Katie and Sara is exhausted. All that Sara wants to do is sleep, but know if she brings the lunch home uneaten Beth and Bob will give her the speech about how eating three meals a day is the most important part of the day. Sara and Katie walk into the lunch room and sit down at a table by the lunch room doors, half way through lunch Katie sees that Sara has stops eating her peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich and that Sara is staring into space. She also notices that Sara has started to look really pale.
"Sara's are you alright?"
