 Francine went about her school day is if nothing was wrong. Long past annoyed at everyone shock that she was in fact not dead blew them off. She just couldn't wait for the school day to be over. She kept thinking to herself about who had told the newspaper that she had passed away.

"Maybe it was my mom? No she wouldn't do that. Maybe it was the police? Why would they do that? Maybe it was those men. Maybe they want people to think that I had passed away hoping that they would get to me first."

 Panic filled Francine's tiny and fragile body like water filling a pool in the summer time. She slowly started feeling the air escaping her lungs and not wanting to return. It was getting really hard to breath. She felt like she jumped into the big pool full of water and forgot how to swim. She felt like she was drowning. What if that's what their plan was? Where was am I going to hide? Do they know where I am. Can they really be able to find me? So many questioned filled Francine's mind until she felt so light headed and dizzy she fainted onto the floor in her 3rd period math class.

 Francine hadn't realized what had happened until she woke up on a bed in the nurses office. When Francine opened her eyes the nurse was standing over her checking her blood pressure. Francine was still in a daze. She looked at the nurse and to her, her face was blurry and destorted. She felt like she was looking at her from under water. A little blurry and hard to see.

"Well hello Francine." Said the nurse trying to sound cheerful.

 She wasn't very sucessful Francine could hear the worry in her voice.

"Hello. Why am I here?" Francine asked in a partial daze.

"You fainted in math class. How do you feel?"

"I fainted? I feel ok a little dizzy but other than that I am ok."

"Well that's good. Do you know why you fainted?"

 The nurses words echoed in Francine's ears like she yelled something from the top of The Grand Canyon. She knew exactly why she fainted. She didn't want to tell the nurse that. "I will think of something. I am not going to tell her my personal problem." She sat there and tried to figure out something to tell the nurse.

"Well do you know why fainted Francine?" Aked the nurse again interupting Francine's thoughts like a child trying to get their parents attention.

"I went to bed really early last night and didn't have dinner. I felt hungry and then I got dizzy and I guess I fainted and collapsed on the floor in math class." Said Francine lieing through the skin of her teeth.

 The nurse look at Francine a little skeptical. Francine could see that the burse was staring her down like a cop in the interrogation room. Her eyebrow raised and eyes full of questions. Finally she stopped staring Francine down and decided she was satisfied with Francines answer.

 "Would you like some crackers?" Asked the nurse

 "No thank you. I think I will wait for lunch. What time is it ma'am?" Francine asked politly and waited for an answer.

"Hold on one second." Replied the nurse.

 The nurse went out of the room with the beds into the main nurses station. It was ntohing special. White walls with Maroon trim to match the rest of the school. There was a average sized brown wooden desk with all the nurses papers on it. The only thing that made the nurses station look different then any classroom the school had was that there was a medicine cabinet on the wall. The nurse looked up at the clock and had read the time. She walked around the corner to where the rooms with the bed were located. She walked over to the bed where Francine layed annd gave her the time.

"It is 11:38 Francine." The nurse replied in accordence to Francines question.

"Thank you. Yes I can wait until lunch that is in less than 10 minutes." Replied Francine.

"Ok I will agree with that decision but, I would like it if you stayed here until the lunch bell rings."

"Yes ma'am."

"Thank you." Said the nurse with a smile on her face.

"Your welcome." Replied Francine

 Francine layed in the nurse station bed until the lunch bell had rung. Francine shot out of the bed and left the nurses station as fast as she could and waved goodbye to the nurse. Francine wanted to get some food and be alone for awhile.

 Francine hurried to the cafeteria as fast as her legs would carry her. She was one of the first in line. She got her tray and started down the lunch line and saw they were having subs for lunch. She grabbed one with ham and cheese. She went further down the line and saw some fresh lettuce tomatoes and dressing. She grabbed the lettuce and tomatoes to put on her sub and a small packet of Italian dressing. She loved Italian dressing one thing she got from her mom. She went a little further and grabbed some french fries with Ranch to dip them in. Then she grabbed some carrots and celery with some peanut butter and a bag of cooler ranch doritos. She wasn't in the mood for Chocolate Milk. She paid for her lunch and headed for the vending machines where she purchased a pepsi.

 Francine was not in the kind of mood to be bothered. It's nice outside she thought. I will eat outside today maybe then I will get some peace and quiet. She grabbed her pop from the machine and headed outside. There was alot of people taking advantage of the warm weather. "Great" she thought to herself looking around for a quiet place to eat her lunch and think about the current events that have taken over her so called life. She looked around and finally found a nice quiet spot underneath an oak tree. Francine gently lowered herself and tray on the ground. Francine leaned against the tree and struggled a little while to get comfortable. As soon as she was content she picked up her tray and began to eat. No sooner then Francine was half way done with her huge lunch. Kristine walked up beside her. 

Kristine was one of those girls your parents warned you about. The rebels the bad girls who don't care who or what the hurt. She wasnt one of the most attractive girls in school. She had blobde hair that was cut really short on the sides and shaved in the back. She wore pants that were to big and baggy for her figure. Her shirt was torn and held together with safety pins. Her shoes were written on like she was bored one day and used her shoes to practice graffiti on. She had a small figure and a small body her eyes were emerald green and she had a scar on the side of her face. Francine always wanted to ask her how she got it but didn't want to pry. Francine stared at her a moment and thought she would be really pretty if she would let her hair grow out and took a little better care of herself. Wear make up once in a great while. Kristine looked back at Francine for a moment before she began to speak.

"Hey anerexic girl." Said Kristine with a giggle.

"Excuse me?" Replied Francine in a defending tone.

"Woah calm down. I was just kidding. Hey look I came over to ask you if you wanted to go ditch with me?"

 Francine was never asked that. Everyone knew she wasn't the type to go against her mother and get into to much trouble. At least not when it came to school. Francine sat there a minute or two contaplating the question before looking at kristine and answering her question.

"Sure lets go."

 Francine and Kristine left their trays and went into the woods in the back of the schhol. Kristine went into her purse and pulled out a pack of Newport cigerettes. Francine stared at them in utter shock. She didn't smoke she thought it was disgusting.

"Want one?" Asked Kristine.

 Francine sat there and thought about it for a moment. "Why not what could it hurt? I have had such a bad day so far all ready what is a ciggerette going to hurt?" 

"Sure" She replied to Kristine.

 Kristine handed her a ciggerette. Francine sat there with the ciggerette in her hand staring at it and twiddling it between her fingers. Kristine lit hers and then handed Francine the lighter. Francine thought about it a moment or two longer before putting the ciggerette to her lips and igniting the lighter. She flicked the lighter once and it didn't ignite she tried it twice and then she had suceeded. She held the lit ciggerette in her hand without smoking it. Kristine noticed she wasnt smoking it.

"Take a drag." Kristine said laughing at how scared Francine was.

 Francine didn't want to look stupid, So she put the ciggerette to her mouth. Her hand were shaking the whole entire time she inhaled and then exhaled. She sat there and thought this isn't so bad I could get use to this.
