Janice turned on the computer and went to her favorite chat sight. She posted a message to her favorite online friend.

Hey Hector.
H3CT0R
Sup Janice.
JANI304
Why weren't you at the bridge? I waited for you.
H3CT0R
Sorry, my mom got sick…
JANI304
Your mom gets sick a lot.
H3CT0R
I don't want to talk about it. So how did it feel? Did you jump?
JANI304
It was just like you said. My mind was completely off of him. But now what?
H3CT0R
What do you mean?
JANI304
I still really like him. What do I do now?
H3CT0R
You could try a hobby.
JANI304
Ha ha, very funny.
H3CT0R
No I'm serious. Get your mind off of him by getting it into something else.
JANI304
Like a new boyfriend. I'm not going to date you Hector.
H3CT0R
Ouch. Not what I meant. I meant something like learning an instrument or owning a fish.
JANI304
No thanks.
H3CT0R
Do you want to fall out of love or not?
JANI304
There are other ways.
H3CT0R
Sitting around mopping is not one of them.
JANI304
Fine, what did you have in mind?
H3CT0R
This is your deal. Find something you think you want to try and then try it.
JANI304
Well I do like making jewelry. And I know of a store that teaches classes.
H3CT0R
Do it! It's worth it!
JANI304
Fine. I'll try it. But just one class!
Their conversation continued for the next four hours but eventually Hector had to leave for family reasons. Janice got off of the computer and called "Beads and bits". She signed up for a class.
