Clara

"Clara, are you okay today?"My other teenage co-star and good friend, Lila, wanted know, as we gathered our things and got ready to head out for the day. "Don't say it's nothing, because I've known you long enough to know when it is some-thing.""It's two things, actu-ally."I confess-ed. "While I miss my best friends back home, I still have those mo-ments where I get angry at them for what they said before I left for Los Angeles for the month.""When one gets hurt, it is comp-letely normal to have those feelings, espe-cially after what happen-ed to you."Clearing her throat, Lila asked, "Have you talked to them since you arrived here in Los An-geles?""No, but I may call them soon. After all, I miss talking to them." Hugging Lila, I smiled and said, "Thanks, Lila.""Any-time, girl." Lila replied, hugging me back. As we broke apart, she smiled and said, "I will see you on Mon-day."
