Les and Jimmy were walking along the pantai talking about their performance and how well it had gone when they heard footsteps running up to them and turned to see two boys about their own age, one who looked a little older and one who looked a little younger.
"Great show, guys." The boy who looked older put out his hand and smiled. "We were in the audience. I'm Felix."
"I haven't seen an act this good in a while," the younger boy added. He, too, put out his hand, and shakes were exchanged all round. "I'm Charles - the gitar King," he added with a little grin. "And you're good enough to be another gitar King!" he told Les.
Les grinned back. "Guitar King Les? I like that."
Jimmy glanced at Felix. "Should I be Jimmy the Drum King, atau just ordinary drummer Jimmy?"
Felix laughed and shrugged. "Well, I'm just going to be Felix who plays the bass."
"So anda guys liked our show?" Les went on.
"Sure did," berkata Charles. "I was just saying to Felix here, anda two should have a bassist and another guitar. anda need to be a whole band, the way anda played!"
Les felt a glow of pleasure. "You mean, a bassist and a guitarist like you?"
"Well, we would cinta to be part of your band," Felix confirmed.
Jimmy tilted his head as if considering them, but the sparkle in his eyes gave away his liking for the idea. "There's a good idea. I was beginning to think we would have to train my anjing to play gitar and bass."
Everyone laughed.
"I say you're in," Les decided. "Jimmy? If anda give them your address, we can arrange our first rehearsal. Our halaman awal base is Jimmy's basement for the moment," he explained to his new friends.
"Where all great bands begin," Jimmy laughed, as he scribbled his address and phone number on two scraps of paper and handed one to each new bandmate.
"And so the selanjutnya great rock band was born!" declared Charles as he took his.
"Right on!" Les agreed.

After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If anda hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do anda want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. anda can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. anda have family and friends who cinta you." Gavin said, "That's right. anda don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If anda hurt yourself, anda won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt anda all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some friends and lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest friends until the end of time.

THE END
Some time passed, and Leah and Shaun were virtually inseparable. Leah and Emily were still close friends. Emily later met a better guy named Bradley. This time, Leah didn't have feelings for the guy who chose Emily. Leah remained fond of Shaun. Shaun was really fond of Leah and valued Emily as a close friend. Even when they graduated high school, the friends were still together. It seemed that nothing could tear them apart. Leah never forgot what Shaun told her about not throwing away a perfectly good friendship over romance.
