chapter thirty four

"Oh Ruby, you've got me as a friend and you still have your brother who am sure looks up to you now as his mother!" 

"I guess so." 

"We were wrong to let life get the better of us, we're kids and need to enjoy instead of sulking! We will miss our loved ones who died but we must be strong to continue our lives and tell ourselves 'Goodmorning!' Dream agency has taught me that and we should behave accordingly." I speeched confidently like some motivational speaker and it made Ruby smile a little though am sure she knows I meant every word. 

"You really had a great time didn't you?" She asked feeling sad again.

"You know what I think, we all wouldn't have won the contest because we are smart girls. The contest rejected you all because you were all smart." I winked at her. 

"Thanks Karen, for staying with me and being a good friend!" She hugged me dearly.

"You're better," I hugged her back.
