Becca Gandolfo

At East Rivercrest Middle School, there is this huge Christian group. I think it's called FWSH (Fun While Serving Him). Everyone calls it "Fwish."

"Are you going to Fwish this afternoon?"

"Did you see what Pastor Jake did at Fwish last week?"

"I think I'm going to Fwish this afternoon 'cause this hot girl I like is going."

"Becca Gandolfo got saved at Fwish last week?!"

Yeah, Becca Gandolfo. She used to be the most hell raiaing-est girl in East Rivercrest, until she had an apparent run in with Jesus. I dunno what I think about it. I mean, the girl was pretty bad.

The first day of middle school, she walked up to an eighth grade girl, called her a bitch and pushed her down the eighth grade stairwell... all because the girl called her Becca Geek-dorko. The girl broke her nose and sprained both her ankles. Nothing happened to Becca... that day, or for the rest of middle school. All the teachers were too scared of her. Plus, there was a rumor that the assistant principal, Mr. Diveritti, and Becca's dad, Mr. Gandolfo, had come from the same Italian ghetto in New York City and that there had always been some unfinished business between the two of them. Mr. Diveritti was not gonna do anything to get Gary Gandolfo up in arms. He had moved from a small New Jersey town right outside of NYC to East Rivercrest, just to frighten Diveritti.

Anyway, that was Becca all throughout middle school. Then one day close to the end of eight grade, there was a joint FWSH meeting of the middle school group and the high school group (that group has since died out... Jesus left East Rivercrest a long time ago). Becca heard that they were going to have communion with real wine and decided it was time that she go have some "fun while serving Him."

Well, no one knows exactly what happened, but all we know is that we didn't see her for the rest of that eighth grade year. The next time we saw her, it was the first day of ninth grade at ERHS and Becca Gandolfo was a new person. She had gained some weight, her dark straight hair had turned into bouncy, curly, auburn locks, and her dark eyes sat behind shiny new glasses. In a way, she had gone from dark Italian primadonna to geeky Republican first lady.

When we asked her what had happened, all she could say was, "God is awesome, isn't He?!" Everyone had to admit that God was something, because for Becca Gandolfo to go from punk to "Praise God" in a summer was a miracle.

For the last few years here at ERHS, Becca has tried dilligently to get FWSH started back up here. But like I have already said, it hasn't flourished. Becca is serioulsly the ONLY person in the whole school interested in saving ANYONE from ANYTHING.

Correction: I really would like to save her from wasting her time with the heathens at our school. Her time would be better spent trying to find out M's sexuality.
