Sunny: “What I do.” ‘Al rolled her eyes,’ “Seriously what!”

Alice: “Oh come on Sunny, it was that clear, you don’t like Moira do you?’ ‘Jenny finally got in on the conversation and glared at Sunny.’

Jenny: “What? I don’t believe you, she hasn’t even done nothing to you.”

Carmen/Alice: “Yeah!”

‘Tina’

“Later mom.”

“Make sure your home around four today.” Her mom yelled, Tina ran down the stairs and threw the gates, she kept hopping she wouldn’t have to go to school.

‘Fake a sickness whatever, she just couldn’t fool her dad’

‘She walked on to school, thoughts of her friends crossing her mind, was she up for this.’

‘With her head low, Tina, absently mindedly, walked right into some one. The books in her hands hit the ground.’

‘She bent down to pick them up, apologizing to whomever she walked into, and receiving help at the same time.’

Tina: “Thanks” ‘She stood their puzzled; soon her face went pale.

‘Their stood Shane, with her books, bloodshot eyes, and a blooded nose.’
