It was a Friday night.Music, playing on the radio of Kylie's room.Her best friend,Christine,had gone out with some of their friends.Kylie,was naturally invited.But she turned it down.Something in Christine's voice when she had invited Kylie made her turn down the invitation.The little smile that had showed up on Christine's face when Kylie turned it down made her sure it was the right decision.

Kylie was in her room,with her laptop.Checking her mail.She wanted to e-mail Christine.To tell her how left out she feels.To tell her that when Christine left her eating alone at lunch-to join her other friends-it sliced Kylie's heart.When Christine complained about her boyfriend,Kylie listened,adviced.But when she told Christine that her step father had molested her,Christine ignored her,and went back to complaining about her boyfriend.Kylie wanted to tell her that she was angry with Christine.She had finished writing her e-mail.It was 7 paragraphs long.Kylie was just re-reading her email,wiping her tears as she read .

Halfway through,she stopped.Oh God,I'm such an idiot,she thought.She deleted the e-mail,every copy of it.She then returned to listening to songs on the radio.Somethings are better not spoken.
