(Wellington Lloyd's House, Rhonda's Bedroom; 7:00 am)
Rhonda Wellington Lloyd woke up, yawning and stretching before getting out of her bed. She proceeded to then do the usual morning routine, ending it with making her bed and grabbing her backpack.
As soon as she walked out of her room though, she spotted something...peculiar on a desk close to her room. It was a bunch of documents, which she of course picked up.
"What is this?" asked Rhonda as she looked at the documents. "Documents about my family...should I see them or not?"
One thinking later, Rhonda started to see the documents, only to throw them to her desk when she lost interest. The very last one though, completely catched her attention, as he eyes were glued to it as she opened it and read, getting a disturbed look that worsened the more she did so.
After she finishing reading, Rhonda screamed so loud the windows on her house started to crack, with a few glass cups on the kitchen breaking while some that were already broken repaired themselves. immediately after that, Rhonda opened the drawer, put the document she just read on it and then closed the drawer tightly, hyperventilating afterwards.
"That can't be true...It must be a cruel joke somebody put on me..." when she uttered the last part, Rhonda calmed down and got up with an angry look on her face. "That's it, this must be some sick joke one of classmates set up on me! Well I won't take this without giving them a payback!"
Taking her vision off the document, the girl walked to a photo of her schoolmates, focusing on Sid and Stinky. "And I just know who would do something like this." hissed Rhonda as she narrowed her eyes.
(S.P. 118, 4th Grade Classroom)
Some time later at the school, Nadine arrived at the classroom to see Helga and Phoebe looking at Rhonda with confused looks. "Hi girls," greeted Nadine as she walked to the girls, getting their attention. "what's wrong?"
"Your friend is what's wrong." replied Helga.
"What do you mean?" asked Nadine, slightly angry at the reply.
"She hasn't mentioned any of her expensive stuff or one of her family's trips since she got here," explained Phoebe as the trio turned to see Rhonda in the far back. "and she's also spontaneously looking at the door and the clock with that expression on her face."
The trio turned to see Rhonda at the far back row, doing just what Phoebe said she was doing. "I'm going to see what's wrong." said Nadine as she got off her desk.
The black girl then walked to Rhonda, who changed her vision to the door and this time seemed like was fixed at it. "Hey Rhonda?" asked Nadine to her friend, who looked at the clock and then the door.
"What's up Nadine?" replied Rhonda, not taking her vision out of the door.
"Helga and Phoebe noticed you were acting a bit...strange, and as I continued to see you changing between looking at the door and the clock, I wanted to know if everything was alright." replied Nadine in a worried tone.
"Of course everything is alright, you know what they say; there's a logical explanation for everything." assured Rhonda, this time turning to her black friend.
"And those logical reasons are?" asked Nadine.
"I'm looking at the clock to see how much time left I have before Mister Simmons arrive and the class starts, and I'm looking at the door to see if Sid and Stinky have arrived yet so I can beat them senseless!" explained Rhonda.
"...That only manages to make me worry even more." stated Nadine. "What did they do to you?"
"A prank Nadine, an extremely sick prank." replied Rhonda, turning back to the door.
At last after changing between clock and door for who knows how long, Rhonda spotted Sid and Stinky arriving. Rhonda wasted no time and got off her desk, with Nadine, Helga and Phoebe watching as she walked to the two boys.
"Hey Sidky!" exclaimed Rhonda as she got both boys attention and she grabbed their hands, earning a confused look from them. "I have to talk with you two!"
Rhonda dragged both boys to the far back, throwing them against the wall and tightly grabbing the neck of their shirts while giving them an angry look. "Rhonda we're Stinky and Sid," corrected Stinky, Sid nodding in agreement. "I'm pretty sure there's a kid who's called that though."
"That doesn't matter!" exclaimed Rhonda before releasing the boys and taking out the document from her shirt, which she then showed to the boys. "Which one of you put these horrible prank among my documents?!"
The two boys grabbed the document and read it, pausing before giving Rhonda a look and giving her the document back. "...What are you talking about?" asked Sid.
"Don't act stupid, that's Harold's job!" replied Rhonda, putting the document back where she took it out from. "You two put this among the documents of my house, just to give me a shock! And don't even try to deny it because I know you would, or could, go this low!"
"Rhonda we haven't made our own prank yet." informed Sid to Rhonda, Stinky nodding in response. "And it isn't even for you, we don't know who we're going to give it yet."
"...Wait a minute, if neither of you did it since as you said you haven't made your prank yet." said Rhonda before starting to think about it, getting a horrified look as she realized something. "Then that must mean, this document-"
"Is genuine?" interrupted Stinky, exchanging looks from Sid before turning back to Rhonda. "That's a possibility."
Rhonda's shocked look got frozen on her face as the world around her turned black and white, with her slowly falling on the floor unconscious. And then Mister Simmons arrived. "Good morning class, for today we-" greeted Mister Simmons before noticing the unconscious girl. "Rhonda!"
The entire class, as in what had arrived anyway, went to the unconscious girl. "Rhonda!" shouted Nadine, trying to get her friend to wake up. It was futile as Rhonda didn't respond. "She's not responding!"
"Kids, help me get here to the nurse!" said Mister Simmons, with Sid, Stinky and Nadine helping him lift the unconscious girl.
Everybody got out of the classroom just as Arnold and Gerald were about to get in, with Helga and Phoebe being the last ones to leave. "Hey, what ha-" asked Arnold before being interrupted.
"Move football head!" interrupted Helga, pushing both Arnold and Gerald out-of-the-way as she followed the kids.
Phoebe remained to help both Arnold and Gerald up before running back to Helga, with the two boys scratching their heads in confusion as they followed their classmates.
(Back at the Wellington Lloyd's House, Rhonda's Bedroom)
Some time later, Rhonda slowly opened her eyes, the first things she noticed was that instead of the classroom she was on her bedroom, with her friend Nadine sitting beside her with a worried look on her face.
"What happened?" asked Rhonda, turning to Nadine.
"You fell unconscious when you discovered the possibility that this was true." explained Nadine, taking out the document Rhonda had before from...somewhere, and showing it to her. "Mister Simmons got worried, you didn't woke up for a long time and..."
Remaining silent for a few minutes and seeing her eyes getting teary, Rhonda put one of her hands on Nadine's shoulders. "I'm sorry that I made you worried, but you would understand why I passed out for long if you knew what was in that document to begin with." replied Rhonda.
The dark-skinned blonde girl cleaned her tears and gave her friend a happy smile. Turning back to the document though, she started to open it, only for Rhonda's free hand to stop her. "Nadine." uttered Rhonda, getting her friend's attention. "Do me a favor, and don't open or read it."
"Why not?" asked Nadine.
"Just trust me when I tell you the next; It's not something you or me had to or have to know," told Rhonda to her friend. "It's better if you safe yourself from the horror that is inside that document than join me with it."
Pausing for a bit, Nadine nodded and closed the document in response as Rhonda released both her hands from her. "You said it recently, but I need to question what's so important about this document." said Nadine. "So, what's so important about it?"
"The documents before this were just about random information; achievements and so on." "This one though, is related to a secret of my family...one so horrible I hope It's just a joke somebody thought was funny. My family has a high status among the rich people, and the information in said document is capable of staining that status forever, so that's why I can't tell you what's inside."
Remaining silent, Rhonda turned back tot he ceiling while her friend remembered something. "Oh right, are you feeling okay Rhonda?" asked Nadine, putting her hand on Rhonda's hand. "You have slept for a few hours and I was starting to get worried."
"While I do feel fine, I don't think I have gotten over the shock yet." replied Rhonda in an honest tone. "And actually, I don't think I might be able to get over it anytime soon. But wait, what about the school? And what am I doing in my room?"
"Well on the school, they decided to have one of your classmates record the class while you relaxed at the nursery." explained Nadine, scratching the back of her head. "However, I don't know about the room, I only came here to wait until you recovered consciousness."
"Oh, is that so?" said Rhonda, earning a nod from her friend. "Well, just put the document at the desk outside and tell whoever recorded the classes to come to here later."
"Understood Rhonda."
The dark-skinned blonde girl got off her friend's bed and got out of the room, with Rhonda turning around to see a photo of her parents. "There are only two people I can ask about this issue." thought Rhonda. "And hopefully, they'll prove me wrong."
