A Big Change of Alicia

Madelyn's hand shook as she held her phone. Louis had actually called her gross! First, he said she was like a clown, and now he had gone even further by calling her disgusting!

Madelyn felt completely mistreated, as she thought she had only stood up a little against Alicia's behavior. Both mad and upset, her teeth chattered as she said, "Louis, do you know what Alicia did to me today?"

Louis pressed his thin lips together, not saying a word.

With trembling lips and a shaky voice, Madelyn continued, "I went to the mall today to shop and buy clothes, and I was having fun. But then she pushed me against a mop in the bathroom and even forced me into a small toilet. I've never been so embarrassed in my whole life, boo hoo hoo."

As Madelyn cried, her feelings of being treated unfairly grew.

Louis spoke in a uncaring tone, "You didn't forget when you pushed Alicia into the pond, did you?"
