During the presentation though, Raina freezes and runs to the bathroom. Raina and Jane work together and decide to present on Girl Scouts. Abrams announces they will be doing LDIs or Lecture, Demonstration, or Instruction on topics the students want to pick. Soon Raina starts fifth grade, with her friends, and Michelle in her class, and a teacher she has had in another grade, Mr. Fourth grade ends as Raina thinks about how hard it is to get privacy, and the bathroom was the only place she could get it sometimes.

Her mother takes her to the doctor who says she is healthy, but this does not explain why she feels scared. That night she thinks she will throw up again, the images depicting her spiraling and falling in green, but she does not, but she still knows something is wrong. Raina and her friends talk about their food at lunch, Michelle making fun of Jane, while Raina explains her family’s particular and picky habits. At school, another kid throws in the yard at recess and all the kids stare, and when the kid comes back everyone calls him pencil puke. The book starts as Raina wakes in the middle of the night, and goes to the bathroom to throw up, with her mother there beside her.
