Let me get a few things straight because this curse made me look stupid: I don't pay anybody for notes. Are you kidding me? Secondly, public school is perfectly fine option for kids who don't attend private school. Sure, I really did go to private school, but I would have been happier in public school. Also, I am not a class ditcher

Hey, Kate.

You want to go for a walk?

[girlwithabow]

Sure. Let me just grab my purse. Meet me up front.

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

[He's waiting just at the door, and he looks a little bummed]

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

[She knows that look on his face and it's obvious to her the reason why it's there. Better to get him away from the source of the problem before she says anything.]

Ready?

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

Yeah.

[He closes the door behind them, and he walks in silence for a little while]

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

[She walks alongside him for a few minutes before speaking.]

I broke his nose for it.

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

[He doesn't look at her]

He said he was sorry.

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

He is, Billy. He was cursed. Teddy couldn't help it.

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

I'm just trying to sort it out.

[He's not quite trudging]

He told me he was cursed, too.

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

If it helps, I punched Nate too.

[She's not sure why she's saying the next part but she is.]

Nate wasn't cursed. That's why I hit him.

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

[Pause]

I don't...really want to know anything about the other guy.

[Quiet]

I'm not really angry. Geez. Is that bad?

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

[She can accept that. Kate says nothing more about Nate, however Billy's response to things takes her by surprise.]

You're not?

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

Well, I'm not happy but if Teddy was cursed...

[He pauses again]

Okay, I'm mad, but not at Teddy.

I'm really bummed about it. I wish he hadn't. I don't know really what to do.

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

Forgive him.

[She pauses in her stride to look Billy in the face.]

Forgive him. It's all you can do right now.

[Outside, fresh air]

[repeatshimself]

[He looks so sad, man]

That's it, huh?

He's probably beating himself up about it.

[Outside, fresh air]

[girlwithabow]

[She's pretty sure Teddy is, if he didn't already do it during the few days she has left him. Either way, the look on Billy's face kills her and she can do nothing but reach over and wrap her arms around him.]
