Nora stared at the empty bed on the opposite side of the room and made a face. What kind of a best friend disappeared on her friend's birthday, leaving her alone to welcome the day.
Let Isabella come back. She would revoke her best friend privileges and not help her cover up with her homework at all! So gaming all night was more important than her.
Nora pouted and stared out of the window. Bringing her knees to her chest, she laid her head on her knees and hugged herself. She really couldn't blame Isabella. Until last year, she'd barely been allowed to go out of the house to 'celebrate'. And then last year she had spent the entire day waiting for the celebration that Antonio had promised her.
