Six weeks had passed. Leila and Greeley were getting ready to go to the New Religion concert. They decided to get cena before they went to the concert. While they were there, they saw that the members of New Religion had been eating at the restaurant, too. Leila said, "I can't believe it. It's them." Greeley said, "I think we should talk to them." Leila said, "I think so, too." They finished eating, and they walked up to New Religion. Leila said, "Hi, there. We're fans of your music." Erin said, "Hello! That's great. What are your names?" Leila said, "I'm Leila." Greeley said, "And I'm her friend, Greeley." Paul said, "It's certainly nice to meet you." Lola asked, "What are your favorito! songs?" Leila said, "I really like 'I Could Have Lied'. It's such a deep and meaningful song." Greeley said, "I like 'Broken and Mended'. I like the powerful lyrics." Carl said, "Great choices." Leila said, "By the way, Paul, I have a dog named after you." Paul said, "I'm flattered. What kind of dog is he?" She said, "According to a DNA test, he is a purebred German Shepherd. What I find strange is that he's blue. Apparently, German Shepherds can be blue." Carl said, "Yes, it's possible. My aunt had one back in the seventies." After a pause, Erin asked, "Do tu have anything you'd like us to sign?" Leila said, "We didn't really bring anything." Greeley said, "I have some notebook paper with me." He got out the notebook paper, one for him and one for Leila. Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola signed them. Leila said, "I have one más pregunta for Paul." Paul said, "Ask away." She asked, "Since you're an aromantic asexual, are tu ever lonely?" He replied, "Not at all. I have a loving and supportive mother. I know she's not my biological mother, but as far as I'm concerned, she is my mother. I also have great friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more." She said, "I never thought about it that way, but looking back on things, you're right." Before they departed, Erin said, "I hope tu enjoy the concert." Leila and Greeley had a great time at the concert. When she went home, Leila told her aunt and uncle all about the concert. Her aunt said, "I'm glad tu had a good time, dear."

80smusiclover1 Wow! Leila and Greeley met and talked with New Religion before their concert! How cool is that?!

BingoPB That is cool. I like what Paul had to say about friendship being more rewarding than romance.

Peaceandlove67 It's true. Friendship is very rewarding.

Rubyrings That is so lucky, getting to meet the band before the show and to talk to them! New Religion was so nice to them, too.

Roldan13 That really is lucky. The members of New Religion acted just as they should have.

RetroRock64 They sure did. I'm happy for Leila and Greeley.

One día in January, it was snowing. I said, "I swear it was warmer at Christmas." Gavin said, "I know. It felt más like May than December." Pretty soon, it was getting really cold. I said, "It's colder than I can stand right now. I think we should go back inside." Gavin said, "I agree." As we were going inside, Gavin slipped on a patch of black ice on the driveway. I asked, "Gavin, are tu okay?" He said, "Yeah." He got up, and I noticed that he was limping. I said, "You're hurt." He said, "I'm all right....ow!" I said, "But you're limping." He said, "Maybe I'm not...

Our sophomore año was a good año for the most part. Gavin and I didn't get bullied much. The few times we did, we usually took up for each other. One day, Gavin was sick, and he couldn't be there to take up for me. Some bullies mocked me and pushed me down the stairs. Jennifer told the bullies off, and William helped me to my feet. He asked, "Are tu okay?" I said, "Yeah, I'm okay." I was a bit upset. When I came home, I put on some Beatles música to make myself feel better. I felt better, and one of my friends even told me a joke. She said, "What is the difference...

One día during the summer, I decided to visit with Gavin. When I made it over there, his dog, Oliver, greeted me. I said, "Hi, Oliver! Where's Gavin?" The dog led me to Gavin. Gavin was resting under the árbol in his backyard. I said, "You look comfortable, Gavin." I expected him to say, "I am," but he didn't. Oliver licked his face, but he didn't stir. I thought, "Oh, God! Has he passed out?" I knelt down beside of him and gently shook him. "Gavin!" I cried. "Gavin, are tu okay?!" He opened his eyes and said, "Good morning!" I said, "Gavin, don't scare me like that!...

It was summer, and one day, Gavin came to me crying. I asked, "Are tu okay?" He said, "No." I asked, "What's wrong?" He said, "My grandfather just died." I said, "Gavin, I'm so sorry." I hugged him. He continued to cry. I understood how he felt, since I had lost Pops less than two years earlier. Despite my fear of heights, I decided to fly to Liverpool with Gavin. His father asked, "Are tu sure tu want to do this?" I said, "Gavin was there for me when Pops died. It's my turn to be there for Gavin." His mother said, "That's very sweet of you, love." On the plane,...

One night, I heard that there was going to be a meteor shower. Bonnie, Gavin, and I went up a colina that was overlooking the high school, as it was a dark hill. After we saw the meteor shower, we looked down the colina towards the school. Bonnie said, "Ya know, that school seemed so big when I first started attending it, but looking down on it now, I realize how small it really is." I said, "Really?" She said, "Yeah. It seems like just yesterday when I was a freshman like tu guys. Now I'm just four months away form graduating." Gavin said, "That's crazy. This time next...

It was the last día of school before navidad Break. At one point, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Gavin asked, "Catherine, are tu all right?" I said, "Yeah, I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You're actuación like you're hurt." I said, "Oh, I'm just having some pain in my right side. I'm probably bruised from where I slipped and fell on a patch of ice, no big deal." Jennifer overheard me and said, "Look, I'm not a doctor, but tu should definitely go see one." I said, "I think I'll be okay. I'll see what happens tomorrow." The siguiente day, the pain...

One day, I was visiting with my paternal grandparents. A thunderstorm was approaching as we were getting ready to leave. As I was walking to my aunt and uncle's car, I felt a bolt of lightning hit me. I felt the strike, and the siguiente thing I knew, I woke up in my uncle's arms. He said, "Holy cow!

It was our first día of high school. Gavin and I were quite nervous, to be honest. The día started out badly. I heard someone make fun of Gavin's accent. The bully asked, "What's up with the cheesy accent?" Gavin replied, "I'm from England, Liverpool, to be exact." The bully said, "Oh, you're from that town where those insects are from. That explains your trashy haircut. tu should be beaten for that." I walked up to the bully and said, "If tu hurt Gavin, tu better make plans for me to hurt you." The bully ran in fear and never bothered us again. Later, I got punched...

I was reluctant to include the eighth grade in the story. There weren't too many good things that happened that year. The only good things that happened that año were a couple of new friends that I made and the fact that I made straight A's. Everything else that happened was bad. The worst thing that happened that año was the death of my maternal grandfather. Although my mother died in childbirth, her parents still wanted to have a relationship with me. I was close to Pops, (that's what I called him). I did at times think he needed to be knocked off of his pompous...

One day, in the seventh grade, I noticed some kids threatening to beat Gavin. I came up to the bullies and said, "Don't beat up my friend. If tu want to beat up someone, do it to me." Gavin said, "Catherine, no! What are tu doing?!" I said, "I'd rather it be me than you!" The bullies began beating on me. Gavin begged the bullies to stop, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. I was outnumbered, so I couldn't fight back. Gavin tried to physically get them off of me, but he was unsuccessful. I said, "Gavin, get out of here! They'll get you, too!" Gavin said, "Hold on, Catherine!...

Christmas Vacation was officially over, and we were back in school. Gavin and I were heading to our siguiente class, and we saw someone being bullied. A group of kids punched a girl in the face, and she fell to the ground. Gavin said, "Come on, Catherine! Let's get those bullies away from her." I said, "I'm right behind you! I can't just stand and watch someone get bullied." We approached the bullies, and Gavin said, "Back off! I've got crutches, and I'm not afraid to use them!" The bullies walked away. I helped the girl to her feet and asked, "Are tu okay?" She said, "Yeah....

One October day, it had started out normally. Gavin and I had a really good día until the last class of the day. We had some free time at the end of the class. There was a girl calling me ugly and deformed. I was upset, but I tried not to mostrar that she got to me. Gavin came up beside me and said, "Hey! Be nice to her!" The girl asked, "What are tu gonna do? Boys can't hit girls." He said, "I know, but if they could, you'd be the first one I'd hit." She said, "But girls can hit boys." He said, "Go ahead! Hit me!" She punched him in the mouth, knocking out a tooth. The...

One September day, I had an experience that would change my life. I noticed that some new neighbors were moving in across the street. I decided to greet my new neighbors, especially since there was a kid my age there. I said, "Hi, I'm Catherine. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi, I'm Gavin. It's nice to meet you, too." I said, "Nice accent tu have there!" He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yeah. Like the Beatles." Seeing that we were both Beatles fans, I knew we would get along. Gavin seemed so friendly and...

My childhood had a rocky start from día one. My mother was in poor health from the día she learned she was pregnant with me. Although I turned out to be healthy, my mother died in childbirth. Realizing his own mortality, my father named my aunt and uncle as legal guardians if something were to happen to him. My father and my aunt were siblings. One night, when I was three years old, my aunt was babysitting me, and my father never returned, for he was killed in a car accident. As a result, I ended up living with my aunt and uncle. They never had children, so I was basically...

Some time passed, and the members of The Devil Wants Peace began to notice something. John was the only member who didn't have a girlfriend. He did have a girl who was his friend. Her name was Violet, and John had become really good friends with her. She occasionally visited him in the recording studio, (this is not a John and Yoko story, I promise). She admired his general confidence and superb leadership skills. John was very fond of Violet. Once, John got into a terrible argument with Allen. John told violeta about it, and she provided him comfort. She even said, "Work it out with Allen....

The group began to run towards a nearby shelter. Thunder and lightning crashed around them. A bolt of lightning flashed close to them. Allen, Peter, and Stan met in the nearby shelter.
