Peter gasped, "No! you can't!" He rushed to the door, to block it. "WHat are you thinking? WHat about Nate?"

Lyneya gulped down her tears. "I'm thinking about my friends, Peter. Please, let me go.."

Peter felt a little guilty that he made her cry, but wondered how he would explain this to Nate. "Please at least wait until morning when you can say goodbye to all of us."

Lyneya shook her head mournfully. "I don't think I could last that long..."

Peter begged, "But you have to. You can't just leave without saying bye, it's not good manners."

If things were not so serious, Lyneya would have laughed. She sighed instead and bit her lip. "I don't know.. I... Alright, I'll stay. Just for tonight, though, of course."

Peter put a hand on her shoulder. "Good." He wondered why she would want to leave? Still he led her up the steps, to her room. The next morning, Peter had breakfast, then went back to the restroom to get ready. He looked at his extremely thin hair and let out a sad sigh and held back tears. He ran a hand through his hair and felt a stubble where the bald spot was. He got out a second mirror and turned around, holding the small mirror to the front, while his back was turned to the mirror. Sure enough there was a shadow of dark hair where there was once a bald spot. He smiled and felt a surge of excitement rush through him. Sure, his hair was super thin still but at least he was no longer bald! He rushed out of the bathroom for a change, and saw Nate who was waiting for his turn. "Nate, my hair is growing back!"

Lyneya's night had been restless, but she was awake when she heard Peter's exclamation. She came out of her room saw Nate and Peter by the bathroom door.

Peter saw Lyn stumble out the door. "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Before lyn came stumbling out the door Nate had muttered "Thats just great Pete" he hadn't gotten much sleep last night again and was in an bad mood. When he saw lyn though his face brightened up and he smiled "Hey Lyn" he said.

Peter texted Ryan about his hair growing back and how happy he was and then texted Miley, who texted him back and told him it was great news.

After the exciting text message from her cousin, Miley caught up with CHrissa to go to school. "Peter just texted me to say his hair was starting to grow back. Finally some good news."

"Really?! Oh, that's awesome," Chrissa said, pleased. Peter would be much happier now. "I'm sure the rest of it will grow back soon as well."

Miley grinned. "Me too. He will look so handsome." She made her way into the school building. "So is Ryan still taking me to the dance?"

Justin was relieved to be let out of jail, at least until trial. On the way home, he turned to Kevin, "Do you think we need a lawyer?"

Peter walked into the school, upset that Lyn ran away, but understood. The other part of him was excited because his hair was starting to grow back.

Nate trudged through the snow thinking about how this was his last week of school for a long time... It made him smile and frown at the same time, he wanted to be with his friends but getting away from the bullys and school would be alright.

Peter asked Nate, "Don't you wish we could have snow days off?", as he watched Nate walk inside. He closed the door behind Nate and said, "I'm almost finished with the project for English, how about you?"
