"Cherry, give it a rest. No need to make a fuss over it."
"Making a big deal out of this won't do your family any favors."
"Listen, I'll cover the cost. You just apologize to him."
"Please, Cherry."
A few classmates quietly pleaded with Cherry. Annoyed, Cherry glared at Rosemary, "Typical small-town girl. You can't shake off your money-grubbing ways. I've got cash to burn! A hundred grand, keep the change!"
She wrote a check for a hundred grand and tossed it in Evan's face.
The check fluttered to the ground.
Cherry stood there, haughty as royalty.
"Pick. It. Up," Rosemary coolly watched her, "I've got no patience for this. Either I call the cops or you apologize sincerely. Your call."
"Cherry, I'm begging you, just apologize!"
"Please, Cherry."
"Apologize to a waiter? What are you guys thinking?" Cherry crossed her arms, clearly refusing to apologize.
