Ruth felt weirded by Thea's hurriedness. She could tell that her friend had something on her mind. Ruth tried asking her, but all she got in response was lame excuses that did not make any sense to her.
"Thea, are you sure that you are not in problem? If you have one then please tell me. I will help you with it." Ruth said honestly.
Thea smiled at her friend. "Oh, Ruth, you are the best friend that one could ever ask for.
Do not worry about me. I do not have any problem. I have to do something that my mother has told me to do before going home.
I would have liked your company, but I know that Mr and Mrs Payne must be waiting for you. I do not want you to get late."
Ruth was not convinced but if Thea did not want her to accompany her, then let it be.
"Okay. Take care and go home before the dark. See you tommorrow!"
The two best friends bid their byes to each other and started walking in their respective directions.
