Some time passed, and Leila and Greeley were on krisimasi Break. Leila got to spend some time with Rita. Rita said, "I got wewe something for Christmas." Leila said, "That's so nice. I got wewe something, too." Rita gave Leila her gift and said, "It's a dog DNA test kit. wewe can finally find out what kind of dog Paul is." Leila said, "Oh, Rita, that's amazing. I feel bad now. All I got wewe was a card." Rita said, "It's all right. It's the thought that counts. Besides, there's no greater gift than friendship." Leila said, "I couldn't agree more." Rita then said, "I have some great news, too." Leila said, "Really? What is it?" Rita said, "Karma finally got to Phoebe and Greg. They've bitten the dust." Leila said, "Oh, yes? How did they die?" Rita said, "Alcohol poisoning." Leila said, "Good riddance." Rita said, "That's what I'm saying. wewe definitely deserve better." Leila said, "I know. Greeley has been awfully good to me." Rita said, "Maybe he could be your new boyfriend." Leila said, "I can't tarehe him. He's my best friend." Rita said, "I understand. I know wewe don't want to lose a good friend over romance." Later, Leila talked with Greeley. She told him the great news. He exclaimed, "Jolly good! They got what they deserved!" Leila said, "They certainly did." At the end of the year, Leila and Greeley received even zaidi good news. In six weeks, New Religion was coming to their college to give a concert. It was free for students. Finally! Leila was going to get to see a band she loved live! Greeley was excited about it, too.
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 wewe hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do wewe want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. wewe can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. wewe have family and Marafiki who upendo you." Gavin said, "That's right. wewe don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If wewe hurt yourself, wewe won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt wewe all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some Marafiki and Lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest Marafiki until the end of time.
