Cassandra’s Pov:
I rolled from one side of the bed to another as I yawned tiredly.
My head was aching badly.
I dragged myself up from the bed immediately.
Thank goodness….
There is no going to school for today else I would have been very late.
It’s actually a public vacation…..
I was about to walk into the bathroom when mom entered.
She was holding something.
Did she sleep at all last night?
Her eyes looks swollen and it was obvious she lost some sleep.
“Good morning mommy” I greeted
“Oh good morning baby! This? How did you get this?” She opened her palms.
It was a bead bangle.
Who owns that?
My poor brain thought out.
“Ohh… Now I remember! That’s the stupid girl’s bangle” I said
“Who?” Mom asked anxiously as I stared at her in surprise.
“Gracie…. The girl in school! But why are you being so concerned mom?” I asked
She forced a smile.
“Uhmm… Nothing! I just wanted to know cos I know this is not yours” Mom said
I shrugged it off.
“OK mom!” I said as I walked into the bathroom.
Weird……
What’s so precious about that stupid old bangle?
I should trash that cos it’s useless anyways.
My cell phone rang aloud and I quickly rushed back to the room.
Oh it’s Kiara…
?Hello Kiara…. I said excitedly
?What’s up girl? Let’s go multiple call” She said.
She quickly connected Lucy and Joann to the call.
?Hi girls…. Joann and Lucy shrieked in excitement
?What are you guys doing today? Let’s go shopping together…. Lucy suggested
?Good idea… Cos I’ll be bored as h’ll…. I said
?Alright girls…. Time?…. Joann asked
?1pm will be perfect…. Kiara said
?Sure girls…. See you guys later! I gotta go take a shower… I said as we hung up after saying goodbyes.
Mrs Charlotte’s Pov:
I walked restlessly up and down my room.
Oh God….
What’s really happening?
This bead necklace is mine!
It has been missing since the day I gave birth to my daughter Cassandra.
How come it’s with the strange girl Cassandra?
Why do I feel like there is more to this?
I have to find out who that girl really is and why my bead bangle is with her.
I can’t tell Cassie this because she might misunderstand the whole issue
Gradually, I will uncover all this mystery.
I continued thinking as I lay heavily on my bed.
Gracie’s Pov:
I quickly sneaked out of the room.
I have to go get my bangle from that witch Cassandra.
Gawd!
Please don’t let mother see me.
I rushed out of the house.
As I heaved a sigh of relief.
I hurried down the street and flagged down a cab.
It was almost 2pm already.
Mother had earlier asked me to sell the fishes on the bowl.
I have to get my bangle first then I can come back for any other thing.
The cab driver drove on as I prayed silently within me.
I just hope they don’t notice my absence.
Just then, my eyes caught with someone.
We just drove pass a mall.
I think I saw Casandra and her friends.
“Sir please reverse the car back to the mall” I said sharply.
“OK miss” The cab driver said
He quickly turned back.
I got down from the car.
Now I was sure it’s really her.
As usual they were chatting and laughing so loud.
I quickly paid the cab driver.
“Thank you sir” I said as he drove off.
“Cassandra! Cassandra wait!!” I said sharply as she turned around.
She quickly frowned her face on seeing me.
They burst into laughter making me feel embarrassed.
“What’s the poor slum garbage doing here?” They mocked
“Am not here for trouble Cassie! Please just give me back my bead bangle” I pleaded
She laughed.
“That trash….” Joann laughed
“Yes! The trash is important to me” I said
“Sorry but I already trashed the junk” She said as she climbed the stairs.
I quickly followed her pleading.
She turned around in annoyance.
“Shoo! Scram…. You pest” She said as she quickly pushed me off the stairs.
She couldn’t hold herself as well.
Both of us rolled down the stairs as blood oozed out of our mouths and noses.
“CASSANDRA!”! Her friends cried out…….
