2. Kelly’s parents were getting a divorce. This made Kelly very sad. She was afraid that the divorce would damage her image and that she wouldn’t ever be able to recover. At that time the boy seemed to be the only person she could trust at school, the only one she could turn to. So Kelly kissed the boy.
3. Kelly wanted to prove that she wasn’t fond of the boy at all and that she despised him from the bottom of her heart. Thus she was able to keep her image at school.
4. The boy grew up to be a handsome young man. He had a lot of friends, both old and new. He became popular at school and he was more confident than before.
5. He thought that Kelly should try not to make herself feel better by putting others down.
