"That locker room smells like s*it",Jina stated as the girls piled out of the locker room in their gym clothes.
"Tell me about it",Ashley stated taking a wiff of herself and made a face.
" So Ash whats up with you and Billy?", Heather questioned walking backwards in front of her.
"Nothing why would there be something", Ashley blushed.
"What did you guys talk about the other day?", Jina questioned walking along side of her.
"Nothing he just hugged me until I finnished crying I told him I was sorry and we walked back into the livingroom",she stated honestly.
"Aw come on Ash you two need to do some hooking up", Heather stated.
"No we dont we dont belong we are two different people", Ashley stated walking away from them. Heather looked at Jina as they sat down against the old wooden bleachers.
"So what happend with you and Joel?", Heather questioned.
"He was crying Heath, he told me he was scared and that he didn't want to lose me I felt so helpless I really didn't know what to say so I just layed down on his bed and he just held me it was weird Heather he's been my best friend for the longest time and something felt different to me", Jina stated tieing her pink converses.
"It's because you like him, we've all noticed it.. and hey who's that girl with Benj?", Heather asked looking up at Benji talking to some girl with long brown hair and she was wearing a cheerleading outphet.
"Cheerleaders talking to Benji what has this world come to", Jina stated. She looked at Heather who looked angry.
"Heather it's nothing, Benji would never do anything to hurt you Im sure of it", Jina stated.
" Yeah your right lets play some badmitton",Heather stated jumping up to her feet and helping Jina.
"Ouch where'd you get that bruse?", Heather asked Jina looking at a gigantic bruse on her arm.
"It's from the Lukemia I bruse so much easier then i used to and they just keep popping up from the littlest bumps",Jina stated.
"Oh, lets go get a racket and a birdy", Heather stated changing the subject.

"JINA JINA JINA!", an upset Heather called from down the hallway as Jina was getting out some books for her after lunch classes before heading to lunch.
"Heather calm down breath",Jina stated touching her friends shouldures.
"I saw.. Benj and that girl again Benji hates cheerleaders why is he talking to her",Heather stated as a tear ran down her cheek.
"It's not like they were kissing",Jina stated. Heather bit her lip and allowed more tears to fall from her eyes. " I dont believe you thats Benji we are talking about he's madly in love with you".
"Well believe it oh shit here he comes cover for me", Heather ran off to the bathroom.
"Hey Jina where's she going?", Benji questioned as him and Joel walked by. Joel walked over to Jina and stood beside her.
"Benji who's that girl you've been with today?", Jina questioned following Benji to his locker with Joel on her tail.
"The new girl?", he questioned. "Thats Veronica she's new here and I befriended her", he inocently answered.
"By kissing her?", Jina questioned.
"Where did you hear that?", he questioned opening his locker.
"Take a wild guess",Jina stated.
"Heather, well I guess she wont be speaking to me for a while it was friendly I swear".
" Now that boy you dont want to be seen with him, he's bad for your health", some other cheerleaders stated passing by Benji with the new girl. She seemed to fit in perfectly and she just laughed.
"Where's Heather?",Benji questioned.
"Girls bathroom",she told him as she patted him on the back and ran to the girls room.
" JOEL!", Jina shouted looking at Joel like he was a lost puppy.
"Yeah",he looked up at her with a smile.
"You look like your lost and your looking for your master".
"Arf Arf", he stated acting like a dog.
"No biscuit for you get in the f*cking cafeteria", Jina joked as they walked into the cafeteria to see Ashley and Billy sitting together looking in opposite directions as they ate. Jina giggled.
"Those two are too much", Jina stated looking at Joel.
"We need to do something with them",Joel laughed.
"Youve got an idea?",Jina questioned.
"We'll brainstorm together", he laugehd as they walked towards the table to save each of them.
~*~
"Heather come out of that bathroom now!", Benji scolded.
"Not until you f*cking leave me alone you prick", Heather yelled.
"She hates me Heather don't worry about it, she found the people she fit in with and she's with them I was just trying to be nice", he stated.
"Cuz she's a preppy cheerleader with big boobs and a nice ass and what do I have for you NOTHING! i Prolly dont even turn you on", Heather stated.
"Heather lower your voice, and actually you do you'll never understand", Benji stated walking away from the bathrom and into the cafeteria.
"So where's my friend?", Jina questioned Benji as he sadly sat down.
"In the potty room", he stated. Jina ran off to the bathroom and grabbed Ashley along too.
"Billy you two looked like f*cking losers sitting there looking away from each other", Joel spoke up.
"Shut up Joel I can't stand you guys thinking that Ash and I are going to hook up because we're not", Billy stood up angrily and walked away.
"Rawr", Joel stated looking at his upset brother. "you two will be back together by tommorow", Joel stated.
"Aunt Hellen!", Jina ran down the stairs towards the kitchen where her Aunt was cooking. Ashley appeared in the door worried about her running through the house.
"I...", Jina began to say as she fell on the floor.
"JINA!", Ashley called she ran over to her and got down next to her.
"Ash I want you to shut the stove off and I'll start the car if you can carry her out please try", her mom stated running out the door. Ashley obayed her mother. Jina had lost enought weight to the point where Ashley actually could pick her up.
~*~
Ashley and her mom sat in the white waiting room. Ashley was pacing the floors waiting for Heather to arrive.
"Ash!", she heard Heather say from the other side of the room. Heather ran over to Ashley and gave her a hug.
" Hi Mrs. Ferry", Heather stated.
"Hi sweeti",she replied.
"Is she going to be okay Ash?", Heather questioned. "I think so", she stated looking towards the door to see Benji and Joel walk in. Ashley watched as Joel ran over to them Benji sadly dragged behind.
"Is she going to be okay?", Joel questioned looking at everyone.
"Yeah Im sure she will Joel", her aunt stated.
"Mrs. Ferry?", Dr. Katz stated emerging from the doors that led down to the patients. Everyone gathered around her as the doctor stated the news.
"Jina's doing great we just want her to stay over night so that we can run a few tests, she's lost an large amount of weight in the past few months, and she wasn't getting anything of what she needed in her body, make sure she eats some more and bascially she's fine and thats what happend you can all go and see her now", he told them.
"Room 420", he added pointing them in the direction.
"Ash tell Jee I'll be right there", she stated looking at Benji.
"Alright", Ashley looked back at them as her Joel and her mom walked to Jina's room.
"Benji why are you here?", Heather asked.
"Jina's my friend too Heather", Benji stated.
"Well you shouldn't be here", she stated.
"Heather your being so selfish, I told you what happend, you do turn me on", he stated again.
"I dont care about that!", she screamed.
"Then what is it", he yelled causing a few nurses and family members of others to turn around.
"She's more attractive then me", Heather stated looking down and crying.
"Heather no way come on lets go see Jina and I'll take you out to dinner", he offered. Heather smiled through her tears and nodded as Benji and her walked through the hallways to go find Jina.
~*~
"Jina friday night will you come with me to the sizzler?",Joel whispered in her ear. Jina looked up at him her face was as white as a ghost.
"I'd love to Joel", she faintly smiled.
"Not a date tho friends only", she told him. Joel nodded and walked out of the room.
