Chapter 37: Ouch!

I decided on the black pencil skirt with the white top.

After we paid, Anika dragged me into a jewelry store.

She looked at a pair of golden hoop earrings.

Then she saw the sign that said they did piercings here.

" Can, I please get my ears pierced?", she asked.

"Okay", I said.

Anika picked out a pair of pearl earrings.

She sat down in the chair.

She grabbed my hand.

:A few hours later:

After we finished up at the mall we went back home.

When we walked In I saw my mother and father crying on the couch.

I told Anika to go upstairs and wait for me.

She did.

I sat down in the chair next to the couch.

" What's wrong?", I ask.

In response my father hands me an envelope.

Its addressed to me.

I gulp.
