CHAPTER 7

  Alice

  I've had the best week ever!

  Winnie has quickly become my best friend. We are both studying prelaw, but there is a difference between us: her heart is in it. But I, on the other hand, honestly don't want to become an attorney.

  I just want to make my parents proud. They would probably be disappointed if I told them about my dream. It's a big secret, but I want to draw. It could be for comic books. Or maybe even comics on the web?

  "Hm, which one should I choose..." Winnie is standing ahead of me in the food line, taking her sweet time picking her hamburger.

  I roll my eyes at her. "They are all the same."

  "Aha!" Winnie exclaims. "This one!"

  I have to resist the urge to laugh when she picks her food. Winnie is a character, alright, but I like her. She is my first friend, and that's precious. I never want to lose her.
