Crystal was laying on her bed writing a song.
"If you're lonely & need a friend
And troubles seem like they'll never end
Just remember to keep the faith...

"Oops I'm stuck now" she said. "What else can I say?"

The phone rung interrupting her thoughts. Crystal got out of her bed to get the landline phone that was sitting on her dresser. "Hello?" she said.

"Hey girl!"

"Oh hey Candace!"

"Oh hey Candace!"

"What's up? What you doing?"

"Uh nothing just writing a...poem"

"Oh nice!"

"Yeah what you up to?"

She sighed "Just folding up these damn clothes. My mom always got something for me to do in the house."

"Yeah.... I kind of wish I had something to do I'm so bored."

"Tracie supposed to be having this back to school party this weekend. So maybe that will spice things up."

"Oh really..."

"Yeah Fatima didn't tell you about it"

"No"

"Oh well we're supposed to be going but I don't know."

"Yeah"

"So... Did you talk to Anthony today?"

"No I haven't. I should call him more."

"Well he's your boyfriend. Why not call him more?"

"I don't know Candace. I just don't be feeling like talking that much on the phone"

"That's a lame excuse cuz you're talking to me."

"I know. Its just that me and Anthony don't mesh well"

"Don't mesh well? What are you implying? You're not going to break up with him are you?"

"No... he's such a sweet guy. I just...maybe it's me. I don't know."
