When Veruca got to school, she could see her two friends,Caroline and Amelia, waiting at the school gates. By the time Veruca saw her friends,she tried to smile and wave to them. The two friends waved back. Caroline knew that the smile was fake because the two of them knew each other too well.
Veruca is everything okay?",asked Caroline.
"Oh Caroline, everything is fine at home.", shrugged Veruca.
Caroline wasn't even sure if she was being honest. because to Caroline, Veruca's voice wasn't even all that happy. She didn't sound excited or friendly as usual.
"Veruca, I'm your friend, I mean...we're your friends, please tell us what's wrong.",said Caroline. Veruca got quiet, "Okay something weird is happening in my house. I'm not sure how you'll react.",shared Veruca.
Caroline and Amelia were silent, they had no idea what Veruca meant by saying, "something weird is going on".
The two of them looked at each other until the bell rang. This meant first period class had started.
"You have to explain it while we get to class, okay?",asked Caroline.
Veruca nodded as the three of them walked up the stairs to the school. The hallways were filled and the three of them walked to class.
