After about 5 minutes, a woman came in. A young woman, she was pretty. She had her black hair up in a severe bun, & she wore a navy woman's suit. She looked friendly, & easy to speak to. She had soft, kind aquamarine eyes, pretty eyes. The principal sat there, looking at me, & the woman spoke. 'Evaleigh correct?' I nodded, staying silent. She spoke again, looking concerned. She had a soft voice. 'Evaleigh, there is no reason to be afraid or nervous, I only want to help, if I can, ok?' She said softly, looking directly into my eyes. I looked down & nodded. Crap, I thought to myself, she'd be difficult to lie to, I knew it already. She began asking question's, still speaking in that soft, kind, concerned voice. 'Evaleigh, you have 2 younger siblings right?' 'Yes' I answered, 'They're 3, twins, a boy & a girl.' If I was too quiet & quick with my answers, then they would, for sure, know I was hiding something, I thought. The woman wrote something down, then continued. 'Evaleigh, you seem to be absent a lot, can you explain why?' 'I get these headaches, migraines, but my Dr can't find out why I'm getting them, or how to get rid of them.' The woman looked at me strangely & wrote something down. She then said something to the principal & the principal said I could return to class.
During study hall, I couldn't get that strange look out of my head. So, I decided to look up migraines. What I found: 'Caused by stress & genetics. 90% treatable by medication.' CRAP, CRAP, CRAP I said to myself. Suddenly, I felt sick, for REAL. I'd been saying that I had migraines & my Dr. Didn't know why or how to treat it. THEY KNEW I WAS LYING! Suddenly, out of no where, I threw up.
An hour later, I was home. I ran next door to grab Chris & then saw mom was home too & that there was a strange car outside the house. We entered the house & I was shocked to see, sitting on our ratty couch, That woman from school, talking to mom. NO, I thought...
