Finally! Lunch time…The most easiest of all subjects had arrived at last. Tracy walked outside the school and looked around. No one she recognized, obviously most everyone she knew had actually passed grade seven. She sat down at one of the benches and took out her notebook. Inside was a poem. Not just any poem. A poem so strongly worded it would move the heart of any person.

It was the poem she wrote at the beginning of last year.

She had read and reread it over and over and still couldn't figure out how those words had come out of her thoughts and out the tip of her pen.

'Hey' someone said from behind her. Tracy turned around and saw Havi, the person she was dealing with for the past year…until now.

'Hey' Tracy replied, turning back to looking at her notebook.

'What's that? School work?' He asked while sitting down next to her.

'You could say that…I guess' she said closing the notebook.

'Oh I see…so Trace I was wondering…If you weren't busy sometime…would you maybe want to hang out or something' He asked

'Ummm…I don't know…I really have to work on getting past grade seven right now'

It was clear to Tracy that Havi was extremely disappointed. The expression on his face could be compared to that of a dog begging for more treats. At last he sighed and said…

'Oh…I understand. So um I'll see you around then'

'Yeah…see you' Tracy gave a weak smile as he walked away. She didn't want to get back into a relationship so quickly after all that had happened. Besides she know saw how much she had broke her mothers heart with everything she had done and knew that it would be wrong to get back into the things she was doing.

A few minutes passed where Tracy sat by herself and thought…She thought about her so called friends her Family and her life in general…It was so messed up, even she could hardly understand it.

Then a group of people surrounded her. All wearing black and very reveling shirts and tight low rise jeans. They were the people that for the longest time she had considered her friends. Now she wasn't so sure. One of these people was Evie who took a seat next to Tracy.

'Hey Trace' she said sweetly

'Hi Evie' Tracy replied.

'So me and a bunch of us are going shopping on Melrose after school, are you in?'

Tracy thought for a moment and then said 'No…sorry but I have way to much homework…I really want to though' It was a lie. She didn't want to go at all. Not today anyways.

Evie grinned and playfully slapped Tracy's shoulder 'Your such a party pooper' the group laughed and walked away.

And once again Tracy was alone.
