Donna smiled softly to herself, until Caleb turned to her. "Hey, didn't he make your condition act up?" Donna's face hardened. "Shut up, Caleb."

"Your condition?" He asks her curiously.
"Leave me alone," she hissed at him, keeping her face towards the door.
"Why should I?" He asks raising an eyebrow
Donna glared at him. "Because I'm a stuck-up chick who doesn't deserve your love, like or hate, that's why!"
"Got the stuck up part right.." He mumbles to himself
She sighed softly. "I know." Caleb opened his mouth, but a look from Donna made him close it again.
He turned around to Caleb. "Go on, tell me!" He insist. "What you scared of a little teenage girl?"
Caleb rolled his eyes. "Well, she has-" Donna whirled on him. "One more word, Jackson, and I'll rip your tongue out!" she hissed.
"Let em finish. Go on Jackson!" He tells him giving her a death glare
Donna swallowed in embarrasment and looked away. Caleb leaned closer. "She has a severe case of depression. We're talking really, really, bad."
He raised his eyebrows. "I thought there were cures for that." He states plainly, if he had feelings about it, not portraying them.
"She takes meds,"Caleb told him. Donna's head snapped up. "Now that all our secrets are told, how about we all shut up?" she spat out angrily.
Ricky turned around and glared at her. "You have no right to tell me what to do. If i wanna shut up ill do so, but seeing as I don't I will continue to talk."
"Fine! Just don't expect me to reply. I'm not smart enough to formulate the words!" she buried her face in her textbook.
"Your obviously not smart enough to realize that you have formulated many words, even in this short time I've talked to you." He informs her, pulling the textbook away.
She snatched the textbook back. "Leave me alone, city boy!"
"I don't know why you keep calling me that." He states calmly, yet again taking the textbook from her. He knew how to deal with depression, as his sister has it. "If you think I'm so much lower than you, or that "city boy" is an insult. Than you're wrong. Where I am from, has nothing to do with who I am."
Donna sighed and took the textbook back again. "I don't think you're lower than me. You're a lot higher than me. I don't deserve to be spoken to." She looked at him with tear filled eyes. "Just, please, leave me alone." She got up and began to walk out of the class, wanting to just go home and curl up and die.
He stood up and stared at her with crossed arms. He knew because of his sister, that you have to be persistent. "You've got it all wrong." He exclaims. "I'm am no higher than you and you am no higher than I. You realize we are all human, and that man was created equal, that includes you, you are worth something."
She wouldn't look at him and shut him out of her hearing. She began walking out the door.
"Donna." He persisted with such passion even Caleb turned around impressed. "Look. At. Me."
Slowly, she turned around and met his eyes. "What?" she asked quietly.
"If you don't hear anything else I say, hear this: You are worth something." He tells her gingerly laying a hand on her right arm. Normally he would never care for a stranger whom he just met, but she was different, she reminded him of his sister.
Donna jumped back, away from his touch. She looked at him sadly. "No, I'm not." She turned to leave again.
"Donna." He persisted crossing his arms.
"No!" she said loudly, walking faster.
"Dooonnnaa" He persisted yet again, staying in the same place, arms still crossed.
Donna ignored him. She reached the door, opened it, and walked out, not once looking behind her.
He shook his head, he knew better than anyone, it never took one try for depression.
She went out to the hall and collapsed in a corner. She began crying.
Ricky had to resist the urge to comfort her again. He knew to much pressure could do one of two things: Make the person infuriated, so mad no one could stop them, and push them farther into depression, neither of which he wanted.
Donna finally calmed herself and went back into the classroom, not looking at anyone.
Ricky slid into his seat, sighing.
Caleb loudly said, "So, Donna. Are you going to the dance?""No. Nobody wants to go with me," she said softly and then louder said, "You should ask Marina." CAleb's face paled.
"But-she doesn't like me!"
"Try it and see," Donna advised.
"I'll go with you Donna, but I mean you probably won't want too." Ricky tells her shrugging
