pages 150-200

Kristina's stoked that she got the job at seven eleven because now she doesn't only have unlimited ways to get ahold of stash, she can now also get ahold of tobacco whenever she wants to. Kevin, the boy Kristina knows, welcomes her to the crew. She also met Midge who works there and did not seem to impressed when they were introduced. She gets really excited that she's now going to be getting a steady income and will soon be eighteen. She feels as if she's finally getting the wings to fly that should have had a long time ago. She drives around to smoke her meth and starts to realize that it's no longer a social thing, she's often doing it alone. When she gets home her Mom gives her a birthday card and gives her all of her birthday money and of course that excites Kristina. Kristina's Mom wasn't so impressed with the job situation she thinks that she should be focusing more on getting her GED. Kristina's Mom and Jake go to the airport to pick up Leigh and her new cheerleader girlfriend. When they return Kristina and Leigh's girlfriend start off on the wrong foot and she notices that she's very thin. She also notices that Leigh has put on a few pounds. That night at dinner Kristina notices that Leighs girlfriend, Heather, didn't barely touch her food, just like Kristina. Heather constantly brings up Kristina's baby and makes a remark about how he's cute so it must be from the fathers side which is a touchy subject for Kristina because she was raped by Brendan, the father. Bre takes control and can't help but be mean right back to Heather. Finally Kristina's Dad and his new girlfriend show up at the house. They stall and wait out in the car for a few minutes and the whole family instantly got uncomfortable, especially Leigh.


I think that Heather is into the same stuff that Kristina is. I can't imagine how this family reunion is going to go over seeings how Leigh feels about her father. Especially since Kristina's Dad is into meth worse than she is it's going to be interesting how it turns out. I don't really like Heather with all of her rude remarks, and if I was Kristina I would be rude to her also. I wish that Kristina's parents would pay closer attention to what's going on with there daughter and stop handing her hundreds of dollars.
