Violet briskly walked ahead, ignoring the calls from behind. "Violet! Please wait up!" Lila pleaded, but Violet, too furious to care, strode on.
The girl had done enough damage. By now, the whole school must have heard about her moaning in her sleep, and God knows how they would twist the story—all thanks to the chatterbox who couldn't keep her mouth shut.
"Violet please!" Lila pleaded desperately and this time Violet couldn't ignore it anymore.
She turned reluctantly and barked, "What, Lila?! What do you want this time? Haven't you done enough already, or are there more of my secrets you want to expose to the whole school?!"
Lila recoiled, her expression like that of a guilty cat caught in the act. "I'm sorry, Violet."
"Well, 'sorry' doesn't change or repair what has been done," Violet retorted.
"But it would make you feel good, wouldn't it?" Lila replied, leaving Violet dumbfounded.
