Chapter 6 : The awful news
From the last Chapter Luciana asked the doctor how is Carlos condition and this is the doctors response:
"I'm so sorry but he... died..." The doctor was so upset.
Luciana was beaten. She sobbed softly. The doctor asked if she wanted to stay for a while longer. But she rejected. She just wanted to go home.
She ran out of the hospital, get on her bike and cycled home as fast as she could. She fell off several times but she just need to get home. When she arrived Mrs Marie asked if something is wrong. She said no but she didn't make it seems convincing.
She quickly go into her room, shut the door and cried for 3 bitterly hours. She ate dinner and went to bed before Mrs Marie can sk where in the world is Carlos.
Luciana was really NOT looking forward to going to school tomorrow.
At school...
A lot of people went to ask Luciana how is Carlos doing, but Luciana was silence and everyone was feeling uncomfortable.
"Hi Luciana! Have you given the letter?" Maggie asked happily, suprising Luciana.
" I-I-I c-c-could-could-couldn't..." said Luciana, stammering.
"Why they wouldn't let you enter?" she asked.
"No, it-it-it's n-n-not that..." Luciana tried to say.
From the look on Luciana's eyes she understand what had happen. She shouted " NO! NO he must NOT die ! Please Don't LET THIS happen!". Everyone huddled around her.
With everyone talking at the same time Maggie and Luciana couldn't understand anything.
"What? He died?"
" This is all because of you Maggie!"
" She must be senteced to death!"
" Maggie you are one damn bitch."
"QUIET!" Luciana shouted.
Everyone be quiet suddenly. " Everyone knows this all wouldn't have happen if Maggie wasn't stuck in the middle of the road right?"
" Yeah! "
"It's all her fault!"
"But!" continued Luciana " Maggie wouldn't put mortar all over her feet by herself right? So we must blame who put the mortar on her legs!"
The crowd started to hesitate. But then one person, named Sally, said 'True!' Luciana smiled. "Anyone else agrres?"
Then, as if told, one by one everyone step foward, including the BULLY!
"Then we are all in this together. Right Maggie?" said Luciana.
"Right." said Maggie, "but can I follow you to the hospital? I just want to give one word of my mind to him."
"No problem..." said Luciana smiling as she knows what she want to do becuase she read her mind, "Meet me the day after tomorrow after school."
