A week after the picture incident, I was still not speaking to my father. I was refusing to make any public appearances with him. What for? To make him look like a perfect father and family guy?An example to follow? I didn't think so.

Mr. Andrews was pleased with our music presentation. He even admitted that our work was perfect as it was, and if we wanted extra points we just needed to add some arrangements to the music sheet.

The music project brought me and Danielle closer. If it wasn't for it I would've never had the chance know her, the real her. . She was changing little by little. She was coming out of her shell. She was now on friendly terms with Matt, even though he still didn't know now about her sickness.

I went with Danielle and her father to the doctor as promised. We didn't have much luck with the first one. To be honest, he was quite scary even for me. The way he looked at us was creepy, like if he was trying to read our minds with just a penetrating stare.

Three days ago we went to the first consult with the second doctor we found. Danielle looked comfortable with this one. It was a young female psychiatrist. She was part of whole practice. The clinic has psychologists and therapists on site. They worked as a team to meet the different needs of each patient.

They were going to use hypnotherapy, since the previous methods used in her case didn't help much. She wasn't happy about it, but with a little bit of convincing from me and Mr. Ellison, she finally agreed to try it.

Matt's revenge on Steven Diaz started today. The first part of our plan was done this morning during the reading of the daily announcements over the speaker. The whole school heard when the secretary ended the announcements with, "Steven Diaz please go to the nurses' station. You need your gonorrhea medication". I don't know how Nick pulled that one off, but that was all him.

Girls were going to be running away from Steven for a while.

Danielle's part of the plan was at lunch in the cafeteria. She "supposedly" tripped and dropped the content of the tray on him. Broccoli soup and chocolate cake was a bad combination. He turned around ready to confront who ever did it. When he saw her, he turned on his game. "It's ok babe, don't worry about it. Do you want to clean me up?"

Everyone in the cafeteria was looking at the exchange between them. Danielle raised her voice to make sure it was heard all over the cafeteria "And take the risk of contracting an STD? Not in your wildest dreams lover boy!"

Laughter and lots of "oh's" and "uh's" was all we heard as she walked to our usual table. I was waiting there with her actual lunch.

Now the afternoon was going to be trickier and the reason why we needed help from someone from the football team. Nick is going to keep Steven busy longer than usual after practice, pretending that they need to work on some new throws and moves. In the meantime, Matt was going to be in the locker room working his magic.

His plan? He was going to get Steven's spare clothes and shoes, and pour itching powder all over them. He was going to empty his bottle of shampoo and fill it up with hair bleach. The icing on the cake? he was putting live crabs inside his bag. Just imagine, Steven sticking his hand inside the bag and then pulling it out screaming with a crab stuck on his fingers. I would love to see that.

With Matt doing his part in the locker room, Danielle and I were going to be taking care of Steven's car. Me made a fake company sign with the slogan "Handy Auto Wash - The Best Hand Jobs in Town" with his phone number at the button.
