My Sickness

One day I came home from school, I was dizzy, I had a headache, and then I went to sleep. I woke up and then started throwing up. I thought that I had to go to the hospital and they had to stick a needle in my arm. I was scared to eat because I thought if I ate, I would throw up again. So I lay there under the covers in hunger.

The next day I went to the hospital for a check up and all the doctors started staring at me as if I was some sort of weird. After that, I got better but I always was scared that I would throw up. Then I learnt it's okay for someone to be sick once in a while.
