"Ren! Hey, Ren!" Ruby was pounding on the bathroom stall door. "Are you dead or something?! Get out of this stall right now!"

"Ruby," said Ren. "You don't understand. You don't know how it feels to be embarrassed like this. Everyone will laugh at me when I walk out of this bathroom I know it."

"Come on, Ren! Nelson's waiting outside right now and we've been in here for at least ten minutes already!"

Ren thought about it for a couple of seconds. "Well.I guess so, if he's waiting. Fine, I'll come out." She opened up the stall door with tears running down her cheeks.

"Ren! You're a mess!" said Ruby wiping the tears off her cheeks.

They both opened the door to the bathroom with Nelson leaning against the wall staring off into space.

Ren waved her hand in front of his face. "Earth to Nelson?"

He broke from his trance. "Oh! Hey, Ren, Ruby," he said. "How are you feeli- " he broke off looking behind Ren and Ruby.

"What's the matter, Nelson?" asked Ruby.

Nelson didn't say anything. The nod of his head explained it all. He nodded his head in the direction of Larry. He was walking toward the three of them talking to his friends.

"Oh, hey Ren! You.actually came!" said Larry excitedly. Clearly Ren didn't understand what he meant before he opened his locker right next to Ren's head.

"Oh! No, Larry, you see-" started Ren.

"So, I was wondering, maybe sometime we can.go out for ice cream or something tonight. You 'wanna?" interrupting Ren's explanation.

Then, right then and there, Ren fainted.
