She awoke the next morning to see a girl about her age with brown hair and big green eyes standing next to her bed, staring at her.
"Who are you?" Kerrie asked sleepily.
The other little girl smiled "I'm Molly!, You've been sleeping forever, I thought you were dead!"
Kerrie suddenly remembered where she was and what had happened and she started to cry. Molly look concerned,
"Oh, but don't worry, you're not dead!"
At that moment the plump middle aged woman Kerrie had met before came bursting through the door.
"Molly!" she bellowed.
Molly rolled her eyes and stepped forward, "Yes, Ms. Tiernan?"
The woman stamped her feet loudly as she walked towards the little girl.
"Did you forget who has bathroom duty today?!"
"Um....you?" Molly guessed.
Ms. Tiernans eyes blazed with fury, "No, you! Now get your unwanted little ass into the bathroom and start scrubbing, now!!"
Molly scurried out of the room and Ms. Tiernan turned to Kerrie,
"Quit yer blubberin, no one likes a cry baby, you're acting like you're three years old!"
Kerrie stopped crying and wiped her eyes,
"I am three years old."
"A smart ass too? Well, guess what? No one likes a smart ass either! Just what I need, another little girl with a wise mouth running around here." Ms. Tiernan remarked bitterly, "Anyway, you're new so I'm gonna fill you in about how things go around here, ok? I command, you obey, got that? Good. Now, I command you to wash all the windows in this room, and you better obey me, or you won't get supper for a week" she said throwing her some cleaner and a rag.

It was nearly three hours later when Kerrie finished the windows. Molly walked back in the room and collapsed on her bad.
"I hate cleaning!" she wailed.
Kerrie just stared at her.
"What? Why are you staring at me?!" Molly asked slightly agitated.
Kerrie averted her eyes and mumbled an apology. Molly looked at her and could tell how sad and lonely she was. She crept over to Kerrie's bed and sat next to her.
"I'm sorry" she said softly, "Do you wanna be my friend?"
Kerrie turned to her and nodded her head happily. They hugged, thus beginning a happy friendship.
"Who are you?" Kerrie asked sleepily.
The other little girl smiled "I'm Molly!, You've been sleeping forever, I thought you were dead!"
