She breathed as she entered the cafeteria, her stomach twisted in a million knots. She kept praying as she approached her friends' table. Lord, please be with me, help me make the right choice. She gulped as she stopped in front of them. Carly and Hannah both stared at her expectantly. "Well?" Hannah asked, rudely.
"I-I have decided," Blue breathed. "That I will not be going to your cousin's party."
"Mm, typical Blue," Carly rolled her eyes. "What a waste of my time."
"It was nice knowing you, but you're too perfect for us, so do us a favor and leave us alone, k? Good bye." Hannah said, turning to face Carly. Blue, choked up, simply nodded and stalked off to the library, head held low in case she couldn't hold the flood of tears in. She hurried to her usual spot and plopped down on the chair hugging her knees and crying. I did it, Lord, but I lost my two closest best friends. The warm tears streamed down her face and she felt humiliated. "Blue?" She herd a soft voice speak. She looked up, face red and wet from crying and she saw her old friend Summer, a short girl with short brown hair that curled at the ends and innocent brown eyes, standing beside her chair.
"Oh, hi, Summer," Blue said, looking away.
"What's wrong?" Summer asked concerned.
"Yeah, what's wrong, Blue?" Matthew emerged from behind one the shelves and came and stood beside Summer, who took a seat beside Blue.
"You know Hannah and Carly right?" She asked, her voice distorted due to crying.
"Yeah," the two said in unison.
"Well, Hannah wanted me to go with her to her cousin's party where there would be alcohol and boys and I already didn't want to go, but they told me if I didn't, then we wouldn't be friends anymore. They gave me a day to think about it. I just told them that I decided that I didn't want to go to the party and now we aren't friends anymore. I'm going to be all alone at lunch now and I'm humiliated, I guess."
"Aww, I'm sorry to hear that, Blue," Summer said, sadly.
"Following God is a hard call, indeed," Matthew nodded. "But you'll always have Him as your true Best Friend."
"Yeah," Blue smiled.
"Levi told me that you two met. He has the same lunch as you. If you want, I can ask him to sit with you." Matthew offered.
"Sure," Blue nodded. "Thank you, you're really making me feel better."
"You did good, Blue. You shouldn't be sad at all!" Summer said.
