Advice from friends is like the weather- some good, some bad. __** Once upon a time there was this clique of girls, Ashley, Alexus, Crystal, and Nicole. They all had been best friends since the third grade and they were now juniors in high school. The girls were different in many different ways but somehow they managed to stay best friends.

Ashley was the geek of them all. She had braces and even glasses to top it all off. Ashley was an Honor Roll student, and was very earnest about maintaining her 4.0 grade point average. Then there was Alexus, who was head of the cheerleading team. Alexus put cheerleading before everything. The only thing Alexus didn’t have in her perfect picture was the captain of the football team, whom she secretly loved, not even her best friends knew this.

Next there is Crystal. Crystal was very laid-back and didn’t really belong to any high school stereotype, Crystal faded into the background. Crystal wasn’t good at sports, neither was she cheerleading material, and Crystal’s grades were border line average. Last but not least there was Nicole. Nicole was the weirdest of them all, she was what you would call a rocker chick. Nicole had long black hair with red streaks, and lots of piercings, and she always wore black, her favorite color.

Well one day while sitting around the lunch table Alexus, Nicole, and Ashley were discussing their interesting weekend dates with Crystal. At the end of telling their detailed stories Alexus exposed the ambiguous identity of her date. That’s when disaster struck. They realized that they had all went out on a date with the same guy, tje captain of the football team. Then Crystal gave them what was great advice at the moment, but advice that would backfire on them in the end.

Crystal’s idea was to get back at the football captain, Jeremy, by finding a girl that could truly break his heart. As the girls began to plot against Jeremy they realized that the only person that they could trust was Crystal. That’s when Crystal came to the conclusion that this plan was not going to work, they were throwing her out in the fire to get burnt. Crystal started to wonder, what if her heart is the one that gets broken even though she’s not supposed to fall for him.

A month had passed and the girls felt that Crystal was finally heartbreaker material. The next day their plan went into action. Crystal walked into school with a new confident attitude. After school the girls all met at Crystal’s house. They immediately began discussing how her day went, and they were so excited that their plan was working. As the days went by Jeremy began to pay more and more attention to Crystal.

Friday came, and Jeremy finally had the guts to ask Crystal out on a date. Crystal immediately accepted and they made plans to go out that Saturday. Once again the girls met at Crystal’s house, that night the girl’s noticed something very different about Crystal, she was falling for Jeremy. Saturday was here and Crystal and Jeremy went out, they had a romantic dinner at one of Smithville’s finest restaurants. Then Jeremy surprised Crystal when he “popped the question” Jeremy asked Crystal to be his girlfriend, and Crystal said yes.

When Crystal got home she realized she had made a huge mistake, but it was not a mistake she was willing to take back. The next day Crystal had a hard time telling her best friends of eight years that she had betrayed their trust by falling for the enemy. All the girls immediately rejected Crystal as their best friend. That’s when an old moral her grandmother had told her popped into her head “Advice from friends is like the weather-some good, some bad”, Crystal was the friend who gave the bad advice and destroyed her own social life.
