I'm the only one who didn't getbooted for some reason or other." And since she's been hanging with you," Katie added glumly, "she hasn'tbeen so 'outgo...ng', so her dad doesn't have any new 'boyfriends' to pickon." Is there anything Rachel can do?" Sara asked hopefully. "I know she'soffered legal help before."Katie picked up on Sara's train of thought. "If you went in with acompany lawyer, he'd really have to watch himself. He couldn't bully youlike he's been trying!"Tommi nodded. "Believe. " Boys a real problem?" Yeah. They get you in the halls and feel you up and then they laugh at you when you get mad. Makes me feel like shit. I feel like shit anyway." Why?" I dunno. I can't do anything right. Can't talk to anyone 'cept you, and I hardly ever see you." Well, you'll see more of me, now." I hope so.
