Joan hadn't spoken to Adam in weeks. Not that she didn't want to, but what would she say? He was dating Iris now and tehre was no changing that.
"I mean name one thing he could possibly see in her" Joan demanded, shoving books into her locker.
"We've been over this Girardi" Grace reminded her, "Adam and Iris are perfect for eachother, they'll probably have a houseful of emotionally damaged babies by senior year"
The two friends had become closer since the debate. Ironicly their differences had created a bond nothing could break.
"And have you seen the way they look at eachother?" Joan went on "Gag me now, seriously, its un-natural"
"It's un-natural for a guy to date a female?"
"She's not normal Grace, I dont like her."
"And we all know you have your reasons, but I'm going to be late for class" Grace slammed her locker and walked away offering a semi-wave.

"Yup" Joan sighed, "Alone again".
"You're never alone Joan. you should know that by now." The voice came from behind.
Se turned to see a now recognizable face, the foreign student, also know as god.
"Ok, heres the deal, I'm not doing your little tasks anymore... not until you get Adam away from... whatever she is..."
Her anger made god smile and let out a small chuckle.
"be strong Joan. There is more you will need to overcome, alot sooner than you think. Be brave, be..."
"The best I can be?" Joan cut in.
"I'm not asking you to join the army Joan".
"Okay, be strong, got it, is that all because I really do need to be going."
"Bye Joan" god waved walking down the hall and out of view.
Once again she had no idea what was expected of her. How could she be strong when she had blown her one shot at happiness? And what 'other things' were there she would have to overcome?
'WHY IS HE ALWAYS SO VAGUE?!' she screamed outloud, causing several heads to turn in her direction. 'great' she thought silently 'just great'.
