Chapter 6: Warning
The next day at school, Terri and Jimmy walked together. Then Terri went to
Ellie, who was standing by her locker.

"Ellie, hi!" said Terri.
"How can I help you now?" Ellie asked.
"So how is everything.with Rick?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"No reason, just tell me."
"It's okay. What is the real reason that you're here?" Ellie asked,
suspiciously.
"Ellie, there's something you should know about Rick. He seems nice but-
"He IS nice."
"That's bull."
"Excuse me?"
"Rick is dangerous. He abuses people. I'm warning you to be very careful."
"I can't believe you would say something so stupid!! Rick is so nice and
sweet and smart, something you can't see."
"What do you know? You went on just one date with him."
"All I know is that you were once together. You dumped him. He likes me
now. And you're jealous. Get over it."
Ellie walked away. Terri sighed.
"She's never gonna listen to me," Terri said to herself.

"Terri, what's wrong?" Ashley asked.
"Ellie won't listen to me. Rick is dangerous."
"I know. Marco and I didn't even try to tell her because she already hated
us."
"Maybe it's best if we just report Rick," said Marco.
"What?" both girls said simultaneously.
"If we don't do anything about Rick's problem, he will continue hurting
girls. He already hurt you Terri and he's ready to hurt Ellie."
"I agree," said Ashley. "But maybe we should wait until a little bit to see
how Ellie is. We don't know if he will abuse her for sure."
"That's a good idea," said Terri.
"Let's just apologize to Ellie and get rid of Rick a little later on,
deal?" Marco said.
"Deal," both girls said at the same time.

Ashley, Terri and Marco walked into homeroom.
"You are all late," said Ms. Kwan.
"Sorry," said Ashley. "We got caught up in an interesting conversation."
"It's okay, just sit down."
The three of them took their seats.

"Ellie, Marco and I just wanna say we're very sorry for our little fight.
We were being very stereotypical and it was not fair. You can choose who to
date and who not to date," said Ashley.
"We were pretty unfair," said Marco.
"It's okay, but I should be apologizing for what I said to you Marco and
especially what I said to you Ashley."
"Well, we can all be good friends again!" said Ashley.
"I guess that would be better," said Ellie.
"The three musketeers!" said Marco. The three of them laughed.

"Hey Terri!" said Paige. "How's everything with Jimmy?"
"Perfect! Jimmy is the best!" Terri responded.
"Would you call yourselves an official couple?"
"Yes, we decided that on the phone yesterday."
"This is too perfect. Jimmy and Terri. It has a nice rhythm to it."
"I know, they don't call me special for no reason." Terri and Paige
laughed.

"Terri, hey girl." Jimmy hugged and kissed Terri.
"How sweet!" said Paige. She gave them some privacy; she left the table for
a second to talk to Hazel.
"Hi Jimmy," said Terri.
"Did you talk to Ellie?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes, but she thinks I'm wrong. She actually thinks I'm jealous of her
relationship with Rick when I have you?" Terri kissed Jimmy.
"I know, but we have to stop Rick."
"Marco, Ash and I are gonna wait later on. Then we'll break the ice. But if
things get bad between Ellie and Rick, we will break the ice sooner."
"Sounds good to me," said Jimmy.
The bell rang for first period class. They all left to go to Media
Immersion with Mr. Simpson. The day went on. Everyone had lunch. The end of
the day came by so quickly. Everyone went home.
