I sighed in relief. History was finally over and I was on my lunch break. While on my way to my locker, I heard a familiar voice coming from one of the rooms in the guidance office. It was the room where kids go to speak with the Jeff, school social worker.

"Thanks a lot. I'm glad I have somebody I can talk to about...you know."

"Parker?" I asked myself. "No way!" I found it hard to believe that there was something so wrong with her that she would need to visit the social worker.

"Don't worry about it. I can't give you any names, but you'd be surprised at how many other kids like you there are in this school. You're not alone," Jeff said.

"That makes me feel a lot better. I think I'm ready to tell now. I have to go."

"Alright, Parker. Take it easy, ok?"

"I will," she said as she opened the door and closed it behind her. When Parker turned around, she was surprised to see my questing blue eyes on her.

"Parker, what's up? I didn't know you had to see Jeff," I said knowing I was being a bit intrusive.

"Uh...I...," she couldn't speak.

"Wait, does this have anything to do with the guy you have a crush on?"

She gave me a kind of guilty look. "Sort of."

"Well who is it? If you're afraid to tell him, then I can just talk to him for you...get things started," I said.

"You might not want to if I told to, Lily. In fact, you might hate me."

"Don't be silly."

"Look, Maybe I'll tell you later, but not now." Parker began to walk away from me.

"Did I make you angry?" I asked her, feeling sorry that I brought anything up.

"No, Lily. I'm sorry. I...I'm just mad at myself. I was all ready to do something, but now...I'm chickening out."

"I see."

"Hey, do you want to come over to my house tonight? I just got 'The Butterfly Effect' last night, but I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet."

"That sounds like fun." I said.

"And I promise there will be no cameo appearances by Ray Brennan or anyone else. It'll just be you and me."

"I'm in. But, I have something to do right after school, so can I come over around 5:00?" I asked. RFR was on for today and I couldn't miss it.

"No prob. I'll be waiting."

A/N: I know that this was short, but I'm bored and I just wanted to get this little chunk out of the way. Trust me, the next chapter will be much better.
