[MrsGarrettRocksMySocks]

(LOL...sorry...the title, is suppose to be like the song, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." I was watching Evita... )

This fan fic is from season 2
Nat: *comes into the cafeteria with a new student at her side*
Mrs. G: *coming into the cafeteria* Hey, Natalie...Time to set up for..*sees student* Oh, Hello! *reaches out her hand* I'm Mrs. Garrett the school dietician.
Nicole: *very peppy-almost cheerleader-like* Hi, I'm Nicole!*shakes her hand*
Mrs. G: Well, I hope you'll excuse Natalie, because she has to go set up for dinner.
Nat: Right. See ya later, Nicole.
Nicole: My room at 8, right?
Nat: Right! See ya then. *goes into the kitchen*
Mrs. G: So, Nicole, where are you from?
Nicole: New York City.
Mrs. G: Oh! That must be exciting.
Nicole: A little. My parents thought it was getting a little too exciting for me, so here I am.
Mrs. G: *walks over to the bulletin board-barely bumping against Nicole's arm on the way-she cringes* Sorry, did I bump you?
Nicole: Oh, that's alright...*walks over to the bulletin board* So, what do the hang on this board, anyway?
Mrs. G: Anything relevant to students.
Nicole: Oh...So, any Baptist churches around here?
Mrs. G: Yea...Just across Campus...
Nicole: Good. My dad woudl kill me if I didn't go to church. He's a Baptist minister.*looks at watch* Goshness Goodness! I gotta go! I'm really sorry to leave so soon, but I have things to do! See you later! *leaves*
Nat:*comes in* Hey, Nico--Where'd she go?
Mrs. G: She had to leave rather quickly.
Nat: Oh...*a little confused*Hey, Mrs. Garrett?
Mrs. G: Something wrong?
Nat: I'm not sure, yet. Anyway, can I leave early after dinner to go hang out with Nicole?
Mrs. G: *worried* Okay...I'll be here all night.
Nat: Thanks, Mrs. Garrett.

Okay, this is what I'm gonna call one of the "boring parts" of my fan fic...it's like a ...get to know the new character type of scene, yet with a little bit of foreshadowing. I love being a writer.

~Nat and Nicole-Nicole's room~
Nat: So, what do you think of Eastland?
Nicole: I'm not sure, yet. It's a little frustrating moving in the middle of the school year.
Nat: I can't even imagine...
Nicole: Yea, everyone at church wants to "do something," but there's really nothing they can do. You really just ahve to pray, cross your fingers and hope it works out.
Nat: I bet it really tests your faith.
Nicole: A little...but I know how to deal with stress, so it's not too bad.
Nat: That's great. I'd love to know how to deal with stress. Wanna share the secret?
Nicole: looks shocked then fakes a yawn* Actually, I'm kinda tired. Why don't I take a rain check?
Nat: Sure, I guess that's alright...*looks confused-then worried* Are you okay?
Nicole: *surprised by the questions * umm...I guess so.
Nat: you wouldn't lie to me, would you? 'Cause, ya know, that would really put a kink in out friendship.
Nicole: *takes a deep breath* Natalie, I'm fine. I know how to deal with things, remember? *rolls up her sleeves to reveal scars* It's as easy as 1, 2, 3...so to speak.
Nat: *sees the scars* What ahppened there?
Nicole: I told you...
Nat: No you didn't.
Nicole: Look, Natalie, you wanted to know what my secret is for relieving stress. We're friends and I don't want to ruin that, so I'm telling you my secret and asking you to keep it.
Nat: you mean...you did did all that?
Nicole: *looks down* yes. It makes me feel better when I'm all stressed, ya know?
Nat: I don't get it. How can doing that to yourself make you feel better?
Nicole: I dunno. I just know it does. *scared* you're not gonna tell anyone...are you?
Nat: Do you bleed a lot?
Nicole: It just depends where I cut. Natalie...*looks scared again* Promise me you won't tell anybody.
Nat: *thinks a while* Okay...I guess it won't kill you.
Nicole: Thanks, Nat. *smiles*

That's all for now...hope y'all enjoyed it!

[Lisa_Marie_Presley_Fan]

Your friend,
BlairFan101.

I got a big mouth and I'm proud of it. Except when people say I said things i didn't which is going on now, that I don't tolerate. Plus the only reason I said that is because that's what I've been doing with my fic I didn't tell her to do it, I'm not offended though don't get thinking that.

Great job Lizzie.

okay, so, I still don't have my notebook, but, I'm bored, so, I'm gonna type some...

*~*lounge--later that night--Mrs. G*~*
*Nat enters*
Mrs. G: Hi, Natalie! *looks at her watch* you're back early. I wasn't expecting you for a while.
Nat: Yea, well, I came home early. I had a long day.
Mrs. G: *worried* Wanna talk about it?
Nat: *hesitantly* Yes...but no.
Mrs. G: *pats the couch* Sit down. We'll talk a while.
Nat: *sits down* Well, I just can't tell you, Mrs. Garrett. I want to, but I promised I wouldn't.
Mrs. G: Oh, I see. Here's a little rule of thumb about secrets: Chances are, if the secret you're keeping is going to hurt someone, you need to tell someone. Natalie, if you feel like you want to, or need to, than you're probably afraid that someone is in danger because of it. Right?
Nat: Maybe.
Mrs. G: If that's the case, please tell me.*pauses--waiting for Nat to talk* Okay, if you won't tell me, tell someone. Something tells me you know something that could hurt someone, and because you suddenly won't talk to me, I can't help. Let someone help, Natalie. Give your friend a chance.*gets up and starts to leave the lounge*
Nat:Mrs. Garrett?
Mrs. G: *turns around* Yes, Natalie?
Nat: Well, a friend I have, told me a story about another friend...and, this other girl, she...had the perfect way to relieve stress.
Mrs. G: I don't think I like the way this story's headed.
Nat: You don't, believe me. Anyway, this girl's way to relieve stress wasn't by drugs, or alcohol...it was by...cutting herself.
Mrs. G:*sits down again, next to Natalie* Cutting?
Nat: Yea. Ya know, with a blade, or...something...
Mrs. G:*worried* I know what it is, I'm just...shocked.
Nat: Join the club. Anyway, my friend wants to know what could happen to someone who cut themselves like that, so that she can tell her friend and maybe convince her friend to seek help on...other avenues.
Mrs. G:*still worried* Well, the best thing to tell your friend to do would be to talk to an adult...a qualified adult that can help out her friend who's cutting.
Nat: Yea...but...what could happen to the girl who cuts herself?
Mrs. G: She could bleed too much, and die. She could accidentally cut an artery. There are any number of things that could happen. Not to mention all the scars she'll have, for the rest of her life. *short pause* Natalie, you've got to get this girl to tell us who her friend is. If she does soon, we may be able to save her friend's life. If she waits...anything could happen.*looks Nat in the eye*
*fade to Nat and Nicole in the girls' room the next morning*
Nat: Nicole you've gotta stop.
Nicole: Natalie, what are you talking about?
Nat: cutting yourself!
Nicole: Look, we went through this last night. It's just a way to relieve stress, I don't do it all the time, and it's not gonna kill me. So, what's the harm?
Nat: *raises her voice* Scars, cutting an artery, bleeding so much that you die. Excuse me, but that does sound like it's gonna hurt you.
Nicole:*yelling* It's my business and it's my life and I can do whatever I want with it!
Nat:*yelling* Including put all your friends through the pain of losing you. Fine, go ahead...keep cutting yourself and kill yourself. Then I'm sure you'll be happy when we're all here crying because you're dead.
Nicole: *pauses--then says calmly* We're both uptight, and upset. We don't have to yell. *Natalie starts to say something* No...Natalie, I wouldn't be happy if you were crying because I was dead. I've been put through that before. I know what it's like, and you shouldn't have to go through that.
Nat: Then why don't you stop?
Nicole: It's not that easy.
Nat: Why can't it be?
Nicole: Old habits die hard? *chuckles a little* Listen, I can try. That's all I can promise you.
Nat: Can't you promise me success?
Nicole: *shakes her head* No. I don't know what's going to happen. I can't promise you something, when I'm not sure it's even possible. I don't make false promises.
Nat: Then promise me you'll stop. Then, you could make yourself stop, by realizing that if you didn't, you would have made a false promise to me.
Nicole: It's not that simple, Natalie. I wish I could make you understand. It's like...an addiction. You need help to stop. Professional help, that I'm not willing to get right now. I-
*there's a knock on the door*
Mrs. G: *on the other side of the door* Are you two okay in there?*opens the door* I heard shouting.
Nicole: *turns to face her and smiles* We're fine, Mrs. Garrett. Just one of those, trivial arguments between buddies. Ya know...who does that pen ACTUALLY belong to...*giggles* one of those silly things. It's okay, we worked it all out. *turns to Nat* Didn't we, Natalie? *back to Mrs. G* But, I gotta go now. I have tons of stuff to do.
Nat: But we're not finished, yet.
Nicole: You can have the pen. I'll talk to you later! I really gotta scoot! toodles!*waves as she leaves*
*Mrs. G and Nat look at each other--both worried*
Mrs. G: Natalie...
Nat: I still can't tell you, Mrs. Garrett. I'm late for breakfast, I gotta go.
Mrs. G: *grabs Nat's arm* Natalie, wait.*pulls the chair out* Sit down.
Nat: I really can't, Mrs. Garrett. I gotta go help with breakfast.
Mrs. G: The girls can handle it for a while.
Nat: *sits down--looks up at Mrs. G* Mrs. Garrett, I really can't tell you about it. Remember, a promise is a promise.
Mrs. G: That's not what I want to talk to you about.
Nat: *confused* It isn't?
Mrs. G: No. I know that if you think someone's in danger, you'll tell a responsible adult. What I want to talk to you about, is why you won't talk to me.
Nat: Oh, Mrs. Garrett, it's not you...it's just that, like I said,*hesitantly* I can't tell.
Mrs. G: But you want to.
Nat: It's the reporter in me, I wanna tell the world.
Mrs. G: but you know...
Nat: You're always here. Yes, Mrs. Garrett. Thank you for that.
Mrs. G: If you're stressed, or anything...you know where to find me...
Nat: Yea. Thank you, Mrs. Garrett.
Mrs. G: You're Welcome, Natalie. Just make sure you remember that when you need me!*hugs Nat*
