Samantha overslept and missed school. Though she disliked going to school because of her mean classmates, she still forced herself to wake up early and drag her feet to attend her classes every day. It was the first time she had a sleepover, though her companions were clearly not around when she woke up.
She found a note written by Adriene on the dining table with two paper bags containing a change of clothes and some food for her to eat. She sat down and ate in silence, occasionally glancing at the time. It was ten in the morning, and she knew it would take some time before Adrienne and Myrtle returned from school.
After finishing her meal and cleaning Myrtle's kitchen, Samantha bathed and decided to do her homework and review for an upcoming exam. She had already brought inconvenience to Adrienne and Myrtle, and she didn't want to be seen as useless by her older brother.
