Chapter 2: The First Nice Person

Sitting in the bathroom floor, Gretchen Grundler say there, crying her eyes out like there was no tommorrow. She couldn't believe that Spinelli had changed so suddenly like that, without showing any signs of changing in the beginging. But then- Gretchen thought about what she just said. Spinelli had shown signs of growing up. Somewhere in the end of 5th grade she had grown out of halloween and then she started going out with this boy up the street, sooner or later, Spinelli had almost lost her tough girl image and was soon one of the most popular girls at the school. What she ddin't get was, where was TJ? He had always been there for her and was always around her, even when she was goign out with that other boy. She wished she could find TJ right now and ask him exactly what had happened to Spinelli. But no, she wouldnt run into him in a place like the girls bathroom, she would have to search for him by herself.

All the endless thoughts of what the gang had done in their Elementary School made her eyes fill bad with tears and she soon was crying so hard she didn't notice the bell had rang signaling she was late for class.

Sometime in the period of her crying a girl had come into the bathroom. Quickly Gretchen wiped her tears and tried to act as if nothing happened.

"If you dont mind could I please ask you whats wrong?" The girl said this nicely, and Gretchen felt she could tell this girl everything that had happened and that it would be safe to make a new friend to help her feel bettter. After telling the whole story, the girl nodded silently, tyring to comfort Gretchen and telling her she understood how Gretchen felt.

"You see, they have always made fun of me, too. And just because I am way happier than them. All of those girls over there, well they just do this to make themselves feel better about themselves. But then I met this one girl who introduced me to something so new, it helped me feel better about myself without hurting any other people," the girl said, with her arm around Gretchens shoulders.

"Ummm could you tell me what it is?" Gretchen asked, knowing she could trust her new friend to help her along through this huge disaster. She watched as the girl slowly took out, what appeared to be, a couple bottles of soda. But there was something about how cautious the girl was about taking them out that made Gretchen wonder. She handed Gretchen bottle and said quietly," Beer." into her ear.

Gretchen looked at the reasuring look on the girls face and then looked down at the beer in her hand, wondering if she should drink it or not.

'Well its not like this could hurt me the first time i drank it, could it? And besides shes my new friend, she wouldnt do anything to hurt me' Gretchen slowly brought the can to her mouth and took several huge gulps of the mixed substance, knowing her new friend would be so pleased with what she was doing.

"My named Lydai... whats your?" Lydia asked Gretchen with a smile, happy smile spreading across her face. She took a beer for herself and almost drained the whole thing in one gulp.

"Gretchen," she answered, and they sat in the bathroom for hours. After a couple hours of drinking, Gretchen felt as if she couldn't be happier. The colors all over the room seemed to be brighter and happeir, and she soon forgot about how sad she was about Spinelli and started wondering if she and he new friend could do this all the time, just sit here and look around the room at the happy colors sparkling madly at them from all over.
