The Weiter morning, Jane and Paula walked to school together. Paula asked, "What do Du think of the band, The Devil Wants Peace?" Jane said, "I think they're amazing." Paula said, "I really like them, too. Did Du know that they recently collaborated with a band called New Religion?" Jane said, "Yes, I knew that. New Religion is among my Favorit bands." Paula said, "I'll let Du in on a secret. I was named in honor of Paul." Jane said, "You were not!" Paula laughed and said, "You're right. I wasn't named for anyone in particular. My parents just found the name in a baby book." Jane said, "I was actually named for my grandmother." Paula said, "That's nice." Jane then asked, "Aren't the two bands we've been talking about going to be in Grand Rapids soon?" Paula said, "I think so. We'll have to look it up later." After school, the two Friends learned that The Devil Wants Peace and New Religion were touring together. They were going to be in Grand Rapids on March 16. Jane asked, "Do Du think our parents will let us go?" Paula said, "I'm sure they will if we ask nicely." Their parents approved as long as they didn't go Von themselves. Letty and Hillel volunteered to take them. Jane said, "Thank Du so much! This is a dream come true!"

When Jane's birthday arrived, she got everything she had hoped to get. Her Favorit gift was a guitar. Her father said, "I know Du always wanted one. I could tell it when you'd play the guitars in Musik stores." She said, "It's so amazing! Thank you!" After playing on her gitarre for a while, Jane sagte to herself, "I enjoyed playing the guitars at Musik stores. It's great that I finally have one of my own." Just then, her mother said, "We have one Mehr present for you." Jane said, "Really?! What is it?!" Just then, a Siberian Husky welpe ran up to her. Jane said, "Wow! I always wanted a Husky!" Her mother said, "We saw her at the shelter, and we knew she'd be a perfect fit for you. Her name is Shiloh." Jane said, "Like the first Husky they had on Gone to the Snow Dogs!" Of course, Jane's puppy, Shiloh, had a different mantel color, red and white. As she went to bett that night, Jane was confident about starting at her new school the Weiter day.

Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I Lost my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about Musik like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best Friends ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.

It was summer, and I was back at Home helping my parents with the farm. The summer was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Hillel and I kept in touch throughout the summer. One day, when we talked over the phone, I said, "My parents sagte it was okay with them. I wanted to ask Du if Du would like to share an apartment with me this year. I don't want to go through another bad roommate experience." He said, "I'd Liebe to! I'll go ask my parents if it's okay." There was silence for a long time. After a long time of silence, I heard Hillel's voice again. He said, "I'm back. They sagte that since it was okay with your parents, it was okay with them." I said, "That's great." Toward the end of the summer, we moved into our apartment. I was glad that I didn't have to put up with a roommate listening to rap Musik and refusing to turn it down. I later learned that Hillel was a very valuable roommate. I never knew that one day, he would end up saving my life.
