Raina woke up in the middle of the night and had a terrible stomach. She needs to throw up. After that day she stopped eating any food that made her gassy or if she needed to throw up.
Raina needs therapy
Raina was very talkative with her friends in school but when it came to talking to new people she always turned into a shy and insecure person. She got distracted from her classwork easily but she didn't hate school. Although she is a very kind and friendly person.
Raina tells her secret
Michelle was the school bully and she always bullied Raina. She hated it and they never became friends. She would bully her for everything. So she had to keep her secret that she hates throwing up otherwise Raina will be the main target for her.
Raina finally learned
Raina did not like eating food that made her puke or made her stomach gassy. She stopped eating all kinds of foods, like beans, lentils, artichokes, etc. She did not get enough nutrients in her body and she got sick a lot, so her mom decided to take her to a therapist for all her problems and it helped her a lot but she was embarrassed for going to a therapist. She told no one about her secret.
Raina's therapist was helping but she took some caution on eating foods that make her gassy. One night Raina went to her friend's house for a sleepover and she was having so much fun but then one of her friends said to tell everyone your secret. She thought everyone would make of her but they didn't even care and she was so happy about it. Then Michelle called and Raina and Michelle bonded so much and they became friends.
Raina found out she and Michelle have a lot in common and those two were now best friends. Raina learned that it is sometimes the best to look in the good in people and not the worst, she also learned that eating food that makes her gassy isn't the worst and not she will eat.
