Chapter 2
Ever since school had let out Craig had been moping around the house. There was nothing to do. This afternoon was especially boring. Sean left early with Rachel, Emma was going on vacation with her parents, Manny...well Manny was too busy being pissed at him to go somewhere. Craig sighed.
"Craig, what are you doing here on a perfectly sunny day?" Asked Joey coming down the stairs.
"Joey, I need something to do." Craig said making on of Angie's sad faces.
"Call your your friends Jimmy and...what's his name Spinner." Joey said looking for his car keys.
" Nah, Jimmy and Spinner aren't speaking, and Jimmy isn't speaking to me because of Ash."
" How about Manny and Emma?" Joey said from under the table. Where were those damn keys?
"Emma's on vacation remember?" Craig asked Joey, who was crawling on the floor still searching for those keys.
"Oh, right, they're going to see Snake's parents. What about Manny?" Joey asked.
"Manny, after the break-up she stopped speaking to me. You know, I really don't understand girls they just__"
" Dammit! Where are my keys!" Joey screamed as he got up off the floor and brushed himself off.
"Uh, Joey, they're on the keyrack," Craig said trying to muffle his slight chuckle.
"but like I was saying. I just don't understand girls. You say one thing wrong and they're on you like white on rice, but not Manny, she'd just guilt you into_"
"Craig," Joey said cutting across Craig again. "just call Manny instead of telling sad stories about your break-up. Make-up with her because your doing a piss poor job trying to forget her." Joey finished. With that he got his keys and left the house.
"He's right. Maybe I should call Manny, see what she's doing." Craig said to no one in particular.

" Welcome, to 'It's Okay to be Nice 2003'. I'm Rachel as most of you know. I am pleased to say that we have a new member to our group. Mr. Cameron stand up...Sean?" Asked Rachel, a flaming red head who swept into Sean house and plopped him here.
" Sean, introduce yourself." Commanded Rachel. Sean sighed, stood up and well...introduced himself.
" Uh, my name's Sean_"
"Hi Sean." Said the 'group'.
" I don't want to be here, but I guess I'm here because I have...problems." Sean said.
He was already uncomfortable. He didn't want everyone to know about him in a support group. He'd only told Craig because he would get off his back.
~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~
"Who's that girl?" Craig asked suspiously as he and Sean were getting closer to his [Sean's] home.
"What girl?" Sean asked trying to avoid contact with Craig.
"That girl!" Craig said pointing to Rachel.
"Sean, hey!" Rachel said in a soft voice as they came closer.
"Oh, that girl," Sean said.
" that's Rachel. My social worker."
"Hey Sean. Hi there I'm Rachel. You must be Craig." Rachel said shaking Craig's hand.
" You know my name?" Craig asked a little confused.
"Yes. I'm supposed to know who Sean 'hangs' with." Rachel said. She was pretty, but a little...loopy.
Later on after Rachel left Craig asked, "Why was your social worker here?"
Sean sighed, "Rach, she's putting me in a support group"
~*~*~ END FLASHBACK ~*~*~
"Is that all?" Asked Rachel.
Sean shook his head. "Yah."
