As Laces walked away from Tibby's, she felt awful. She quickened her pace
in hopes no one would take time to notice the upset expression on her face.
No, she wasn't crying. In fact, she couldn't remember the last time she
had.
"Aww geez." She thought. "I can't believe I didn't tell him. Of course, why would he need to know? I'll probably just see them tonight and never see them again. Things would be better that way. I don't take pity from anyone. Never had, never will. Wonder how Gil is? Bet he's always drinking again. I can't believe Anne married my sad excuse of a brother. Silly girl. Probably thought he loved her. Hah. He loves a mug of beer before he loves anyone else. How did that happen? He used to be so protective of our family, what changed? Hmmm, those girls across the street look they're having fun shopping for expensive dresses for their expensive parties at their expensive homes. They're mommies and daddies can afford anything they want in an instant. Too bad it isn't that way for everyone. I hope they realize how lucky they are"
Laces turned the corner a little too fast and knocked into a businessman.
"Aww geez, I'm sorry sir.I didn't mean ta."
"Just get out of my way you street rat!" He nastily replied as he brushed himself off, gave her a haughty look, and proceeded strolling down the street. It took all Laces' will power not to yell at him.
"I hope you don't have kids sir! You don't deserve none!" She thought as she also continued walking down the street, only she went the other way.
"I wonder what it's like to be rich? Certainly not all of them are like that. At least I hope not. If they were, what kind of world that would be." Suddenly, she felt self-conscious and smoothed her skirt out and tied her hair back with a ribbon. "Hope not all of them are demons like the Carlsons. Hope the Carlsons don't go ballistic on me today." She thought as she turned into an alley and found the side door to the Carlson School for Girls.
Yeah, I know this one was short. It's as much as I could come up with before I wanted to go on to the next one. Of course, more reviews always help me get more chapters up faster.. ;-)
