"Well that seems to be everything. I hope I helped enough." Victoria said after we unloaded the last of the boxes.
"Oh, you were very much of help." My mom replied.
"Well it was nice meeting both of you...but I should be getting home-"
"Would you like to stay for dinner?" She interupted her in mid-sentence.
"I would love too, but unforinutly i cant. You see my brother has a Baseball game tonight and I already told him and my parents that I would be their."
"Well, dont be too shy and stop by again." My mom was either desperate for attention or hoping, for some odd reason, that me and Victoria would become friends and I would fit into this town.
"Dont worry, I will be over again sometime soon. And I will be sure to bring my brother so both of you can meet him." She said starting to walk out the door.
"Bye!" My mom called after her and then nudged me in the side with her elbow.
"uh...Bye." I said probably too quiet for her to hear.
To me, Victoria seemed too happy. Like on those reality TV shows, where the pretty girl is this big popular prep, but they hold a dark secret that nobody knows about except the viewers. I'm sure behind her glowing smile is a secret... just waiting to be revealed.
