After everything I have discovered about Danielle and what she deal with everyday I made the decision of stop hiding. I am what I am and I was proud of myself. Today I was going to park my car in the students parking lot. And honestly I couldn't care less about what others thought of it. Yes I have a simple car, so what? It worked, it's good and reliable and it took me from point A to point B. So what if I don't have a BMW or a Mercedes Benz? I have a Ford Focus, deal with it!

I was going to Danielle's house in the afternoon, she texted me last night to say that she wanted to show me the song she was working on for the music project. We only had four more days until the mid way presentation to Mr. Andrews. Thankfully the final due date wasn't for another three weeks.

Matt's car was parked a few spaces down from me. I wanted to catch up with him. It felt like I haven't seen him in a long time, even though I see him every day. I didn't wanted to neglect our friendship just because I was spending a lot of time with Danielle. Besides, he always made me laugh. No better way to start your day than with a good laugh.

He unlocked the door for me to get inside his car. "Hello my friend! I'm glad you can join me this beautiful morning." I don't know what he eats or drinks in the morning that makes him all happy and chirpy. Whatever it is, I wanted some!

"Hey man, What are you up to?" Matt gave me 'I don't know what are you talking about look'

"Oh come on, don't give me that look. I know you; you are always up to something."

"You want me to be honest with you? I was just thinking. More than thinking, I was asking myself something. You might be able to help. If a candle factory burns down, does everyone just stand around and sing Happy Birthday?"

I knew it, he was crazy.

In between fits of laughter I said, "Matt you need some help. Don't you know people?People that can give you some physiological help? Didn't you said a while ago that you knew Dr. Phil? I think is time for you to pay him a visit."

"No, no I'm fine, I'm the one that brightens all your days. You need to be happy and jolly, I know you my melodramatic buddy. Speaking of jolly, I just recently discovered the main reason Santa is so jolly. It's because he knows where all the bad girls live. I'm already planning how I'm going to get a ride on his sleigh so I can get dropped off at one of those naughty girls' houses.",

Shaking my head in disbelief I said, "Only you Matt, you are insane!"

"I had one of those bad girls on the list, but it turns out she is not that naughty after all." His mood changing from his clown self to serious.

"Are you talking about Nicole? Do you like her like that?" I knew something was up. He went all Nancy Drew pretty quick when I told him about Nicole.

"Well she is a very pretty girl. She is nice, any guy would like her, besides she is hot and very fuc**ble. You ask if I like her. Well yeah. But like her like her, I don't know, I barely know her."

"If you are interested then why don't you get to know her. At least we know that she is not the girl we thought she was. A simple lie or gossip can destroy someone's life. To think that I was one of those people that had her on the 'easy fix' category still bothers me. You know I don't easily fall for those venomous snakes' tongues. But I went along with it. Some people really don't care about destroying others peoples lives, as long as they get their kicks out of it.

"You are not the only one my friend, I fell for the hallway rumor too. Guess we were too quick to judge her but we are going to fix it, and that's what matters. I have a great idea to start our "operation revenge" on that Diaz kid. I'm going to need your help. This is going to be epic!"
