Tears welled up in Amanda's eyes as she said in a wronged tone, "Joy, I didn't ignore you. Didn't you just slap Chloe twice? What else do you want? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger. We can even cancel today's birthday party if it means standing up for you."
Joy looked at Amanda, "Really, Amanda? Will you really stand up for me? These are your friends. I've always been a bit puzzled. Why do the friends of my kind cousin mock me every day? You know me best. When they thought I was worthless, why didn't you explain for me? I've told them who my father is at school, but they don't believe me. But Amanda, you're the school beauty, they're your friends. They should believe what you say."
