(To my old friend, I'll just call her 'J') Susan walked home from school, the autumn leaves swirling around in the air after each gust of air. It had been an awful day. Her best friend hadn't saved her a seat at lunch, she totally messed up her speech in Social Studies, and had embarassed herself in front of the total hottie, Nick. She walked inside the house and flopped down onto the couch. Nobody was home yet. She rubbed the necklace that her grandmother had given her. She rubbed that necklace every time she felt sad or something bad had happened, because for some reason it comforted her. Susan sighed..life would be alot easier if she were popular.
