Yolei sat down on the bench. She sat next to Nica who didn't seem happy either.
"Nica why didn't I make the cheerleading squad" asked Yolei resting her chin on her hand.
"I don't know I'm not a cheerleader anymore "Replied Nica looking up to the sky .
"What are you talking about ?" asked Yolei
"They kick me out because I'll be in the hospital for now on Yolei"Nica explained .
"What do you mean , Nica "asked Yolei .
"I have Tuberculous "
"What's Tuberculous?"
"It's a lung disorder Yolei I'm afraid but I have to be strong "
"Will you die ?"
"Yes Yolei I am gonna die and there is nothing I can do "Explained Nica very strongly .
"Oh It's not fair Nica !!!" yelled Yolei .
"Yolei?" questioned Nica giving a shocked look .
"It's not fair your sick, you didn't deserve it and it makes me mad because of something you couldn't help you got hurt !"Yelled Yolei. Yolei had always wanted to fight against things in only the hands of mother nature.
" Well there is nothing we can do" Nica stood up grabbing her back and leaving.

Yolei stopped Willis about 10 feet away and decided that she should tell Willis about Nica.

"Willis !"Called Yolei
"Hi Yolei what's up ?"Asked Willis smiling at the taller girl.
"I have to tell you something about Nica "said Yolei
"What about Nica ?"asked Willis with his eyes growing bigger.
"Nica is, Nica is dying "
"Nica, my best friend dying please tell me your lying" Willis begged dropping his bag onto the grassy floor.
"I wish I was, she has tuberculous "
"That's very deadly" Willis said to himself wiping a tear away form his baby blue eyes.
"Nica doesn't think she will see Christmas"
"But we're talking about Nica she always took care of herself "Willis said having a tear roll down his face .
"It was totally out of her hands she couldn't help it no matter how much she took care of herself "Yolei said shaking her head crying too with Willis.
"if your smart you should go talk to her she should know you care if you care "Yolei said .
"Like Hell I care I care about her a lot "Willis exclaimed .
"Then go talk to her ". Willis nodded his head and walked away slowly and surly he was walking away in fear for his good friend and pain to know she is dying .


Nica sat at home alone . She always had to remind herself that it was always out of her hands and would always be out of her hands .Nica's small puppy jumped on her bed and licked her face . Nica slightly smiled she pet her puppy .

"Nica sweety I have to go to work now "Nica mom came in her room .
Roma could see that Nica was still sad .

"Remember it was out of your hands "her mom said softly . Nica slowly nodded as her mother kissed her goodbye and left for work. Nica slowly got up and started to pack some more for the hospital for tonight she would go to the hospital ready to wait for death. All the while Nica kept repeating to herself that it's not her fault.



Ken sat in his desk looking at Yolei .
"I really wanna talk to her " Ken thought to himself . "If I talk to her I might say something stupid though: he discouraged himself .

Ken didn't realized that he was talking out loud while Yolei heard him all along .

"Ken ?"she asked .
"I'm sorry Yolei "Ken said blushing .
"Sweet guy "Yolei thought .
"This was a totally bad time to bring it up with Nica sick and everything "
"I guess "
"And I know you like Davis "
"Well I do but I think you'd be a good friend "Yolei said cleaning her glasses.
"Do you think I could walk you home since your not walking home with Nica "asked Ken still blushing .
"Sure "Yolei Smiled .


"it's really a nice day "Ken commented as him and Yolei walked home .
"Yeah it is I wish Nica could see it "Yolei said sadly .
"You know what Yolei I think Nica will make it "
"I try to think that
"Nica's a strong girl, she will take anything and smile through it "Ken said looking upon the sakura tree.
"I know it's just that, this is the end for her and that we'll never see her in a matter of time"
"I know what you mean "Ken said trying to hold back a tear or two .


Nica that night sat in her new hospital room all alone, to one to hug, no one to be around. The aroma of death was all around the room and Nica didn't like it one bit.
