As Sam ran down the hall to hide in the bathroom, Cristine catched up with him. "Sam wat is up with u?" Asked Cristine worried. "I can't stand math..its like math hates me." Sam said out of breath. "Why would you think that? You just have to believe! That's how I got.....um never mind." Cristine paused. "Wat?,that's how u got wat?" Sam asked. "Nothing. Its not important." "OK." Sam ran back to class filled with hope and belief. "I can't let him find out. He wouldn't like me for who I am." "No not today." Cristine walked back to class, hopeing Sam wouldn't find out. Cristine sat down in her seat beside Sam. She seen Sam's test he had made an a+." Congrats Mr.writhe,I'm impressed." "Thank you sir!I....I owe it all cristine she told me to believe and have hope!"said Sam still out of breath. "Whatever works!" Replied Mr.Riley happily. Soon after that,the bell rings."Sam gets up and turns to Cristine. "Thank you." "For what?" Asked Cristine. "For helping me believe in myself of course!" Said Sam. " I didn't do that you did! U had hope and belief." Said Cristine proudly. Next class, Cristine sat beside Sam again. But, it was special this time. She put her hand on his shoulder. "Friends?" She asked in a encourageing voice. "Friends." Sam said. The bell rung and all the kids ran out. Cristine had a tingle all over her body. Cristine shot up and ran to through the crowded halls. She couldn't let anyone see. Not at this time. No way. She ran as fast as she could through the groups and crowds of kids in her dirt covered cowgirl boots.
