In complete disbelief Grace looked upon Brianna. What could she say? Was there anything that she could muster too say? She guessed she was a bit taken back by the idea that someone would want to listen to... her. Grace went to open her mouth in a way that she never thought she could. It was an open mouth shock look. And as she was about to say something the bell rang. "aw this is bull. Just when we made some progress. (laughs) i sound like a fuckin shrink (laughs)." "Hey do you want to hang out after school? Just to get away from your house?" asked Brianna. "Hell yea i do!" "(laughs) well meet me on the west side of the building after school we'll go hang out." "ok. see you later." Grace was headed to leave with her books in her hand when she felt someones hand grab her arm. Ready to be hit Grace shielded herself with her free arm, dropping her books. "whoa whoa its ok i just wanted to thank you for listening to me and not.... judging me. I've never had that before in my life." "O (nervous laugh) lol i thought u were someone else.. No problem I'm always here to listen.. to bad no one else knows that. I gotta go i'll see you after school." A bit embarassed she gave herself away, Grace hurried out of the cafeteria. The rest of her day had gone by her in a breeze. And before she knew it school was over and she was eagerly waiting to meet her friend to escape her reality.. She walked out the west door and saw a group of people standing there smoking. Now smoking is not a shock to Grace so she walked past them, and to her surprise.. she heard. "EY Grace over here!"
