* LILAC * LILAC * LILAC * LILAC * LILAC *

Ginger: You're really nice to me!! You're always so helpful and kind.... that, um... If I can..... I want to help you out in return, one day...

Green: SCARY!!! Xe's REALLY scary. So scary, I.... kind of don't mind that xe blames my brother for the whole thing with Purple. I mean... well... not that I want him to get hurt, but.... If we both just kind of stay out of xer way..... It'll all blow over?

Pink: She's in one of my classes... We studied together once. She's nice, but I don't know how she can stand being friends with Green! Eek!

Purple: I didn't know her that well, but she was always really nice to me when she'd be at the house. I'm sorry........ no, there's nothing to be sorry for! I mustn't let other people's ignrance get to me! I did an incredible kindness!

Navy: The best brother I could ask for! Somebody in this family needed to inherit the brains, and it sure isn't me! I wouldn't have graduated high school without him........ *sigh*. I know he's hurting a lot right now. I wish I could tell him the truth, but I don't want to hurt him even more.

???: Ah.......... I can't stop thinking about her. I can't believe I lived a whole life alone up until now. I'm too shy to ask directly, but I'm always thinking it.... Do you feel the same...? Um.... Is it okay if you stay my secret just a little bit more?
