A month later, we hang out at Frosty Palace. That's the place where we always hang out. They always open until around eleven at night unless on Sundays.

I sat on a tall chair with Frenchy and Marty as Rizzo left with a chocolate ice cream cone and wanders into the bathroom. We sit in the booth we always sit at which is the Pink Ladies booth. The guys sit in their booth by the entrance. I noticed Sandy is still going out with Chisum because they are sitting a couple feet away from us.

Viola the waitress came over to us as we were looking at the menu.

"I'll have a chocolate malt," Frenchy smiles as she handed the menu, and Marty says, "I want a cold salad with a Coke."

And then I said going down the menu, "I'll have two double polar burgers, chilly cheese nachos, a strawberry banana ice split."

Vi writes everything down and Marty comments, "Such a pig. How are you going to pay for this?"

I always keep ten dollars with me. It's the ticket.

I ignored her comment and asks looking at the menu again, "and how about an Aurora Borealis?"

"What's that?" Marty asked. And Vi answered, "The same as an Eskimo surprise except it has rainbow sprinkles."

"Oooooh!" I squeaked and handed her the menu with a smile, "and that as well!"

"Anything to drink?"

"Uhh... A cherry soda!"

Vi nodded and left with the menus and then I just realized, "Shoot. I was going to order the Arctic fries!"

"But Jan. Stop eating like a pig and shape up!" Marty snaps at me and then looks in her small mirror. I ignored her because as I saw Vi leave, I noticed Putzie sitting by the juke box. My heart suddenly fluttered and I sighed dreamily. His blonde hair and his dark green eyes. Beautiful color skin underneath the jacket.

"Jan? Jan! Did ya hear anything I said?"

I was watching until someone snaps in front of me. I looked to see Marty's face with anger. "What?" I hissed.

"Did ya hear anything I said?"

I shook my head and lied. "I was just lost since my brother left me."

"You're still thinking about him?" Marty asked widely annoyed. "It's been a month now and you're still thinking about him!"

I ignored her again and then looked at Putzie.

On Wednesday during English class. I sat through the lecture with boredom. I put my head on my fist daydreaming at the moment until the teacher Mr. Lynch gives the tests back. As he gives the tests back to me, I look to see I got a D. Ugh, I hate English, my reading skills are low, my grammar is bad, and I can hardly spell huge amount of words which is why English is a tough subject for me.

After the bell rang, I picked up my books and went for the door but then Lynch stops me. "Janice? Can you come here please?"

I groaned in annoyance, turned around and went to his desk and he says, "Janice, this is the forth D you got this month. I believe you are falling behind in this class."

I kept my mouth shut to listen.

"I need you to retake this test again, and if you don't, you will retake the class next semester."

Ugh... Really?

My thoughts are saying, "Why don't I ask the guys to shove him down the toilet in the guy's bathroom. Then I'll be happy!"

He finished, "You need to get those grades up."

Reluctantly, I nodded and then left.
