CHAPTER ONE
Friends- can you trust them? I can't. I don't think I'll trust anyone ever again. Ever. I hate when a friend betrays you. It's so sad. We were in our sixth year of friendship. She obvoisly didn't want any friends. She used to have a lot of them-Jennessa, Connor, Jessica, Megan, me- then her mom homeschooled her. She broke contact with everyone- and I was the last to go. Now she has NO contact with ANYONE. And I mean anyone. Her mother won't let me talk to her, let alone e-mail her. We were friends for so long, too. It's so sad.

I was at school when I found out about her betraying me. I knew something was wrong when my mom marched into the classroom, right after third lunch. She 'borrowed' me from Mr.H, my teacher. She marched me down to the conference room in the library, not bothering to silence her jingling keys, destracting many first graders. She walked me in the room, closed the door, and said, "Honey, I have some bad news."

Of course, I automatically thought it was something about my dad, who was 54 at the time, and had heart problems. "No", she said,"something much worse."

At that point I wondered,"What's worse than losing your father?" And I got the answer. A friend betraying you.
