Children of the Blood Diamonds
Chapter 2: Creepy
(Two Days Later at School)
The diamonds are cursed. The diamonds are cursed. Do not wear the cursed diamonds. Return them, Return them.
Veronica wiggled one of her fingers in her ears furiously. She had been hearing that line over and over again in her ears from yesterday morning. What scared her most was that the voices didn't seem to be coming from anybody. At least not anyone that she could see.
"I'm returning those diamonds this evening," Veronica resolved, "if the voices continue I'll take them back," she decided.
"Talking to yourself," Trixie teased.
"Um, no," Veronica denied, "I just decided to return those tacky diamond pants that I bought," she lied.
"Tacky?" Trixie asked in surprise, "they're not tacky."
"Yes they are," Veronica said darkly and folded her arms over her chest.
"Whatever," Trixie said deciding not to push it since she usually didn't see Veronica this annoyed.
(Later at 'Thompson's Diamonds')
"Yes Mrs. Turner this diamond is perfect for you," Mr. Thompson said happily, "go and let Fern put it in a nice box for you," he told her, "cheapskate," he muttered angrily after she walked off, "it's customers like the Tangs that keeps me going," he added.
"Excuse me Mr. Thompson," Veronica said after she entered the store.
"Well hello Veronica," Mr. Thompson said brightly, "what brings you here?"
"I'm here to return these pants," Veronica told him and held up the store bag with the pants in them.
"May I ask why?" Mr. Thompson asked.
"Um, I, I just don't want them," Veronica responded.
"Well, okay," Mr. Thompson said slowly as he noticed how upset she sounded, "you can collect your money from Fern or you can look around for a replacement item," he told her.
"I'll just refund," Veronica said immediately and went to Fern, "I'm refunding this," she spat and dropped it in front of Fern as Mrs. Turner walked away.
Fern looked at Veronica for a moment as if she wanted to slap her. After calming herself she took the jeans and gave Veronica back her money.
"Have a nice day," Fern said coldly and Veronica nodded and left.
