Seeing through her friend, Alex continued. “Jordan. I don’t think it’s over though. I think we can fix this. I think we both can be friends with Georgia and their group. They’re just saying that stuff because they got hurt.”
Jordan started to cry a little.
“What you need to do is go talk to Georgia, tell her that you’re REALLY REALLY sorry. Give her a REALLY good excuse. Like maybe tell her that you were in the hospital on Thursday and that you were super sick – which you were in a way – you don’t have to tell her WHY – tell her you had that sleep thing because you’ve been waking up super tired in the morning and they needed to check it out. Tell her that after you got home Friday, you got really sick from some of the medicine they gave you or something and your Mom made you stay in bed all day and wouldn’t let you touch the phone. Blame it on your mom. She’ll take the heat I guarantee it.”
