CHAPTER NINE: ELLIE IS SAD

Ellie ran out of the hospital in tears. She was very sad at how Jimmy reacted it was only idle commentary why did he have to be so harsh? Ellie let out a sob and wished it was raining, but it never rained in Degrassi. If only Clay hadn't left already! Only he could save her now. She was on the edge and about to fall!

Ellie ran home crying. She ran up to her room without bothering to pretend she and her mother had a mother-daughter relationship. No, it was more like alcoholic-cleanup crew Ellie thought bitterly.

"Where is it where is it?" she mumbled to herself tossing random objects from her dresser. "Oh snap finally!" Ellie cried out, holding the prized object like it was her Lord Jesus Christ!

She ran to her CD player and put her beloved CD in (betcha you thought it was a compass huh?) and began to dance around like a crazed monkey caught in a fit of dancing. "Colors of the world SPICE UP YOUR LIFE" Ellie sang out, singing songs from her favorite band The Spice Girls.

Ellie went through her CD over and over plus other The Spice Girls CDs because Ellie loved The Spice Girls and loved to sing them when she was down because their catchy beat always perked her right up when she was unhappy, and Ellie loved to be happy although you could never tell with that doom and gloom expression permanently stitched on her face!

Ellie was busy with her maniacal dancing and didn't notice someone had entered her room.

Someone named Toby!
