Sixteen years old Dawn rushed excitedly to her best friend
Elaine's class for lunch. She could hardly wait to talk about
some of the things that were going on. When Dawn reached Elaine's
class Elaine was already eating lunch.
"Guess what" she exclaimed as soon as Dawn sat down.
"What?" Dawn said as she tried to contain her own
news.
"Dion Martin asked me out"
"Dion Martin?" Dawn asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, isn't it cool?
"You mean Dion Martin who just broke up with Sandra Thompson?
"Uh hmmm"
Dion Martin who told all the boys that Sandra was an easy score,
that Dion Martin?"
"Oh, come on Dawn, Elaine muttered defensively, we don't
know if that's true and we all know Sandra."
"Yes we know Sandra but we also know Dion, girlfriend why
would you want to go out with him?
"He's the captain of the basketball team, he's popular, he's
handsome and he likes me, out of all the girls he really likes
me
need I go on? Anyway I'm sure he's not as bad as they
say he is.
" Lainie, even if he's not as bad a people say you're still
leaving out the most important part" Dawn replied. Didn't
we see him smoking a cigarette last week? And does he even go
to church?
"Dawn I thought you would be happy for me!" Elaine said
fiercely. "Dion is the first guy that has asked me out for
a long time. Why can't you be happy for me?"
It's not that I'm not happy for you Lainie, well truthfully I'm
not. However, it's only because I think you can do a whole lot
better than Dion. I really don't think you should go out with
him.
"You know what Dawn, Elaine said angrily. I really don't
care what you think. I think I'll have my lunch with Linda today.
I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Will Elaine go out with Dion?
Will their Friendship survive?
What do you think? Write in and let me know.
