“Tracy, I know you're scared, but the sooner they know, the better. Your Grandmother will be there and she is dying to tell them. Your aunt could know already but Shelly and I agree that this is for the best. Plus, we’ve gotten a hold of Joy and Angie and while we’re at Brooke’s race, we’re gonna meet up with them. So when we’re at Alice’s, if you want to go, or she treats you bad, then we go. That instant. No waiting, just leaving.”

“Promise.” Maggie replied.

Beth Carlyle sat alone in a quiet corner of the lunch room at her new high school. It was a Monday, the beginning of her second week there as a junior and the third week of the new school year. It had taken less than three days there before some dumb ass macho jock to make her life miserable. He had made a play for her attention and she rejected him, in revenge he and his cronies had spread the L word around with her name.
