The next day Aubrey went to school in a somber mood. The previous night's conversation with Rhyland was weighing heavily on her mind. A few months ago her only worry was earning enough money to go to Japan for the summer. And now she was worried about being attacked and sold for her blood. Not to mention that matter with Beverly was still ongoing. The girl has been sending her text messages and calling her incessantly. Unable to tolerate this for much longer, Aubrey finally responded to Beverly and asked to meet up.
Later that day at the usual taqueria place, Aubrey read her web novels as she waited patiently for Beverly to show up. A few minutes later, a glamorous brunette sashayed into the restaurant and plopped down gracefully on the seat in front of Aubrey.
"Bree! Are you finally ready to forgive me now?!" Beverly exclaimed with a dramatic sigh. "I have been so lonely these past couple of days! You and Ricky were both ignoring me!"
