I walked into my room to see my dad adjusting the pasting and i saw two of the bags he had brought inon the floor " the reason i came home early from ...ork was to decorate your room, i had gone to the shops and boughtyou football wallpaper but after seeing u earlier i've realised u wont be needing it no more " with that said he pulleda roll of bright pink wallpaper out of one of the bags, my heart started to pump fast what did this mean. He turnedto me and said " if you like wearing girls. I'm leaving," she proclaimed."Nicole, no, wait!" I said. "What about going out with your friends?"She stormed out of my apartment and slammed the door closed.Right at that moment, my phone buzzed. It was a text from my new roommateJosh. "Hey roomie, just letting you know, my first class isn't untiltomorrow evening, so I'll be moving in tomorrow."Great. Guess I have to wait till tomorrow for the TV stand too. I calledNicole's phone. She wasn't answering.I crashed back down on my couch, only to. You heard what I said to Dad about Stephie.”She was quiet for a bit, then changed the subject. We chatted about school, friends and the new house until Stephanie had to leave for church. I tried Donna W’s number but there was no answer, so I headed back to the Spencers’ house. I thought of anyone else I could call to visit for a few hours, but Larry would be in church, and most of the rest of my friends were away at school.I went to my room and pulled out my books to work on my homework. I sat. " I ... I don't have anywhere to g-go," Rachel sobbed."Isn't there anything you can do, Gerald?" Elise asked.The sheriff shook his head. "There's nothing I can do except give her a couple of days, Elise."More neighbors approached, all concerned for the seemingly shy young woman whom they'd come to like in the last six months since she'd moved into the neighborhood. Despite knowing this, Rachel couldn't help but feel burning shame at having her life turned upside down in such a public manner..
