Ellie is your neighbor across the street. You've known her since you were both little girls, but you've never considered her a friend of yours.

She is somewhat rude, foul-mouthed, and mean-spirited. Although your mother always tells you that's the way children are.

Today is your 14th birthday and although you were very excited about your party, none of your friends came. Just Ellie, who hadn't even been invited, but there she is, her mouth full of cake.
