K.  GRACE TURNS TO HER STEP-SIBLINGS

Grace bursts into Eli�s garage room.  �You have to help me.�  She finds Eli talking to Jessie.  �Oh, sorry.�  Jessie excuses herself, �Uh, n-no, it�s okay.  I�ll just leave.� 

�No, stay.  You may as well, you probably heard all about it today anyway.�  Eli turns around.  �Heard all about what?�  Grace says, �Oh, she hasn�t told you yet?  I�m having an affair�with Mr. Dimitri.�  Eli gasps, �Wha-at?�  Jessie interrupts.  �Eli, that�s not helping.�  Grace paces.  �I can never go to school again.  Ever.�  Eli gets up from the bed.  �Are you serious??  I mean, do you realize how old he is?�

�Shut up!� Grace barks.  Jessie gets up from the floor.  �Eli,  maybe you should just leave.�  He protests.  �Nya-uh, this is my garage.�  �Leave, Eli!� Grace orders, pointing her arm toward the door.  �Fine,� Eli slinks out, casting a look back.

Grace lets out a breath, covers her eyes, and falls backward on the bed.  Jessie sits down next to her and Grace turns on her side, facing away from her.  �So, are people like really talking about this?� Grace asks.  �No, no, not that much,� Jessie lies. 

�Now he�s in trouble.
I got him in trouble.  Which is just the worst feeling!�  Grace sits up.  �I can�t take this feeling!  And now he won�t talk to me at all.�  She looks back at Jessie.  �What am I going to do?�  Jessie comforts Grace.  �It�ll be okay.�  She puts her hand on Grace�s shoulder.  �We�ll figure something out.�  Grace nods slightly and sighs.

Grace sits typing at her computer.  She nods at the screen and smiles.
