Josh: fine
Clare: so it started 2 years ago when I was in Brisbane, I got involed in a bad crowd, my dad tried to stop me but he couldn't control me, I started failing in my studies and I needed a enegry boost to get my grades back up, there was this guy, I thought he was a good guy, he gave me some study pills and I took them, they worked, my grades got back up again and I realised I didn't need them anymore, until one of my friends died from taking them too, I was messed up and started getting into heaps of trouble, I started drinking alot and going to parties, I thought I was ok, I was feeling heaps better and my friends were looking out for me too but one night everything went wrong, my drink got spiked and I ended up in hosptial, they said it was an overdose but I don't remember what happened that night and to this day I still don't but my dad he was so angry, he took me out of school and we moved to Melborune, but after everything that happened I coudn't contrentate on my school work, my gardes slipped even further than before and I knew only one way to get them back up again, I found another suppiler at my new school, I took them again and I started getting my grades up again, I was getting A's and B's on every test or assinment I did, Dad was so happy I was doing well that I couldn't disapoint him again, I didn't stop this time, I kept taking them and my grades were constient though out the rest of the year

There was a knock at the door

John: Clare open the door

Clare goes to open the door

John: hey, I got your favorite for dinner

John: does he know?
Clare: some of it
John: ok this ends now, your leaving
Josh: I'll see you later

Josh leaves

John: I thought you promised not to tell anyone
Clare: I had too, he covered for me
John: what? 
Clare: I stole money from his brothers business
John: you did what?
Clare: I needed the drugs, I couldn't get the money any other way
John: how much does he know?
Clare: I told him up to the point of the end of the year in Melboune
John: does he know about what happened at that party?
Clare: kind of
John: what ectually does he know about that night?
Clare: I told him I don't remember what happened that night, just that I ended up in hospital from overdosing at the party
