The next day at school was a torturous experience for Maisie. She arrived at school early to find Isolde and have a pleasant conversation with her, but her friend had snubbed her. Isolde pretended not to have seen her.
Isolde proceeded with her activity as if everything was fine.
It was a new experience for Maisie to see her friend ignore her. She couldn't take it anymore and needed to have a conversation with her to prevent their friendship from drifting apart.
Last night, she removed Mr. Leif from her phone and life and instructed herself not to think of him otherwise she would find herself in a situation she couldn't handle.
The presence of that man triggered dangerous situations, so it was appropriate for her to leave and forget him entirely.
"Maisie Tuffin" Miss Sylvia called her out in the classroom.
