Previously on her silence.....

"Hey Audrey"a girl called and I turned.

Riley.

"Wazzup"she smiled.

"Where's your reflection?"Mira hissed.

"Don't talk about Ruby that way. They won't let her out of the dark room."Riley said.

"You called me?"I asked.

"Yes I wanted to warn you to be very careful. Ruby is supposed to be in A class and she's hatching some sort of conspiracy against you"Riley said.

"What did Audrey do?"Mira hissed.

"Don't you know?"Riley hesitated and walked away.

"That girl is crazy!"I muttered.

"Who are you actually and what right do you have to hate someone? Instead of you to think about how you'd make your life less miserable you're judging innocent people." She thundered.

You know the kind of voice, that leaves the entire room staring in awe.

"Veronica tell this girl!" The second girl hissed.

"That if she does not shut the trap she calls a mouth. By the time I'm done with her, her Mama no go fit recognize her." The girl insisted beating her chest for emphasis......

"Mom"I repeated after Doll.I don't think she even heard me, she was staring into empty space.

"Hey!?" I snapped my fingers.

"Doll to planet Earth!"

Ambrose questioned, "I want to get things straight, I just heard Mom. Didn't you?"

Barbie doll snapped out of whatever trance she was and said,
"I'm sorry."

"You'd better be"Mrs Williams said. She seemed calm.

"I don't understand what's going on?"I asked.

"When I looked up she was like my mom. So I thought...."

"Young girl you should learn how to manage your thoughts more responsibly."Mr Ambrose scolded.

"It's okay. Are you hurt?"Mrs Williams asked full of concern.

"Ish"Barbie Doll murmmured.

"Let me see"Mrs Williams said moving closer.

She held Doll's leg and observed her knee.

"This is more than a scratch. What made you scream?"she asked.

Doll glared at me.

"I thought a snake was crawling on me but it was just a grass"she explained.

"My bad. I didn't expect her to be so afraid"I smiled.

"Children"Ambrose groaned.

She mumbled, "That was so improper of you. Can't you see she's hurt?"

"Lucky for you I always keep a little something in my purse."

Mrs wiliams opened her purse and brought out a wipe and bandage.

She cleaned Doll's wound and bandaged her knees. she screamed in pain.

"Stop crying like a child."

"Say that again!"Doll warned.

"Mister Dylan. Be careful."Mrs Williams warned

"How is it now?"She asked Doll.

"So much better minus the pain"Doll said.

"What's your name miss?"

"Vera"she replied.

"Hey that's not fair. You didn't tell me"I said but She ignored me. Infact she was still staring at Mrs Williams with that look.

"Vera try walking around. If you can"Mrs Williams said.

Vera nodded and walked a bit.

"I can but it's painful"she cried.

"You'd get over it soon enough. Now what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class!"Ambrose scolded.

I shrugged, "We're lost."

"That's okay kids. Let's go"Mrs Williams said leading the way.

"Miracles do happen"Vera smiled.

"Doll don't move too fast or you might be hurt!"I called after her.

"Stop calling me Doll!"

"Okay Vera"

"Don't call my name"

"Fine Doll Vera"

"Dylan!!!!"

"Children!"Mr Ambrose smiled following us at a slower pace.

"Mister Dylan you'll behave yourself this instant or I'll turn you in!"

"Yes ma'am."
