Kitty’s P.O.V
“Well, don’t do it anymore. Listen, you’re a beautiful and very talented girl. I don’t want you to kill yourself” he said.
It was kinda flattering, but I still don’t know if I could trust him. All I know is his not as bad as I thought. I have to admit, I really feel comfortable, when I am in his arms. He has pretty bug muscles so I felt warm and nice. I just keep staring at his big muscles. His muscles make him look so hot. “Umm, Kitty?” he said, snapping me out of thoughts.
“Sorry” I said.
“It’s alright, I have to go. I’m really sorry. My band just texted me and we need to rehears right now” he said.
“Oh it’s alright. We could just study another time” I said.
“Alright, bye” he said.
“Bye” I said.

Brooke and I stepped out if the car, and opened the doors of school. We made our way to our lockers, and opened it. I grabbed my physics book, and slammed my locker shut. Dana was standing beside my locker, “Hey Dana”
“Hey, Kitty” he said.
“So, what’s up?” I asked.
“Not much” he replied. “Hey listen, I know someone who I think could really help you with your problem, and who you can talk to and be open with. Here is her number” he said handing me a piece of paper.
“Thanks Dana” I said, giving him a hug.

So, after dance class, Brooke dropped me home, and I called the number that Dana gave me. She said that she would come over in a couple of minutes.
I opened the door, and there was a woman with a blonde hair in a ponytail, blue eyes, no makeup, glasses; she was wearing a black blouse, dark blue jeans, and black high heels. She looks like she was in the late twenties.
“Hi” she said.
“Hello” I said. “Come in”
“Thanks you, what a lovely home you have” she said.
“Thanks” I said.
“Oh by the way, I am Ms. Blue” she said, offering a hand, and I shook it.
“Sit down please” I said, and she sat down.
“So, Dana told me you needed help” she said.
“Yes, I do” I said.
“So, do you mind telling me the problem?” she asked.
I sighed, and I told her every single detail that happened. I tried not to cry, because I am that kinda girl who doesn’t want anyone to see me cry. “So, yeah, I smoke and I cut”
“Oh, okay. So, I think you just need to put all those problems aside. Just think of something that makes you happy. Like your friends. I have to say, that you’re lucky to have Dana as a friend”
I smiled, “I guess so. And thank you Ms. Blue for coming here and helping me”
“No problem, if you need me just please give me a call” she said.
“I will, thank you” I said.

“So, how did it go last night?” Dana asked.
“Great, thank you so much” I said, giving him a big hug. I guess he is being really nice.
I let him go, and my phone and his phone vibrated. It was message from anonymous. It was a video. The title of the video was ‘The Basketball Captain’s Secret’. What the f***? I played the video and I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was a picture of me and a close up on my arm. And my voice was recorded, “So, yeah, I smoke and I cut”. Oh no, I am going to be kicked out of the basketball team. People always expect me to follow all the rules, and not do anything bad. It just pisses me off sometimes. I already got comments saying, “She just does that for attention”. Well, most of them. I admit that I get hurt easily. I put my phone in my pocket, and looked at Dana with teary eyes, “Dana, you are the only one I told” I said.
“Kitty, I swear-” I cut him off.
“I knew it, that I couldn’t trust you” I said, and ran to the bathroom.
I leaned, and slid down the wall. I started balling my eyes out, ‘Why did I even trust him?’ I thought to myself. I heard a knock on the door, “Hey Kitty, it’s me Brooklyn” she opened the door, and sat down with me.
“Come on, we have to go to basketball practice” she said.
“I’m probably not gonna be able to be even step inside the court” I said.
“Look, what is the big deal anyways? So what if you smoke? Well it does affect your health just a little”
“Coach is so going to kick me out” I said.
“Let’s just go. Maybe she hasn’t heard of it” she said.

I stepped inside the basketball court, and I got weird stares from my team. I looked at my coach, and she looked really mad. “Ferris, you’re out!”
“I’m really sorry” I said.
“You’re sorry?! I try to keep you girls healthy so that nothing goes wrong with your body” She is really strict about this. “And I wasn’t expecting this from you. You’re the captain so you are supposed to be a good role model to everyone. I don’t even know you anymore. Get out!”
As I was making my way out, “Coach, I quit” Brooke said.
“Brooke you don’t have too” I said.
“Why?” the coach said.
“I have to focus on my studies” she said.
“Alright, I want both of your uniforms back by tomorrow” she said.
We were both making our way out, “Why did you have to do that?”
“I can’t play basketball without you. Were like a team” she said.
