Jessie was the only reply Katie got.

yeah ..mmmhh they told me you were quiet

Who!! the girl snapped

Katie grinned, just what she thought They told me too you like to pick up fights

great Jessie thought , she was knew in the block and already had a reputation, your point being?

I could use some help in the fights department and seems you could use a friend Katie said feeling really silly for admit that but she was sick of Dylan always picking up on her, she needed some help even thought it came from a kid younger than her, she have seen her in a action a couple of days ago and she knew this quiet kid could hold her own,

So.. Katie inquired after she got no response, this was hard

I dont need no friend

Katie was desperate and was ready to beg

Come on Jessie all I need is for you to tell Dylan to leave me alone, I heard he was scare of you after .. you know

Tell him yourself Jessie said busying herself on the food.

Ok Katie said resigned to keep enduring Dylan. Something about the way that Okay had come out made Jessie want to change her mind,

Listen why dont you say your mommy he is bothering you

forget it ok Katie said walking away.

Bette Porter walked into the Early Education Center fearing disaster, yeah she was almost scare of ask for Jess on the front desk, but none the less she did. No messages form the director office, that was good news, she was almost relieved and smile at her absurdity, then she saw her walking excitedly toward her,

Hey Jess, how was your day honey?

all good mommy, I like my Spanish class, miss Trevio is funny
she smiled, Jess was such a great kid, she just needed a break, So did you make any new friends?

Mom Jessie said in an admonishing tone. Bette laugh Jessie was too cute for words,

Jessie she reply in the same tone, she knew that was the only way fight fire with fire We agreed you were going to try Jessie just cast her eyes away Jessie baby, this is a new school a new beginning, just promise me youll try Jess felt bad, she didnt want to upset her mom, I did it mommy, I have a new friend she is even older than me

Really Bette face brightened, Jessie was desperately looking everywhere, there she is mom she dragged her to the bench, Katie look up wondering what was the deal, See mom this is my friend Katie Jessie said proud of herself Nice to meet you Katie am Jessies mom, Bette

Hi Katie shyly said wondering once again what the deal was. Behind Bette, Jessie was putting her hands together in a pleading manner, Katie grinned, for a moment there, she considered blowing Jessie, in the same way she had blown her, but she was cool and there was also Dylan, so she put an even bigger smile.
