“Um, maybe we could all go together.”

When they stepped off the bus, Stephanie was waiting on the sidewalk. “Did you still want to go swimming tonight?” Stephanie asked Rosa.

Here’s my chance, Rosa thought. “I’m already going,” she said. “Kiara and I are going together.” She smiled. Somehow she knew it wasn’t her nice smile. There, she thought.

Stephanie nodded and looked at her feet.

Getting even didn’t feel the way she’d expected.

Rosa’s heart sank and her cheeks began to burn.

Why didn’t she feel happy? Getting even is what she’d wanted, wasn’t it?

I could walk away with my new friend and not look back, Rosa thought. But it was too late. She had seen Stephanie’s face. Getting even didn’t feel the way she’d expected. It didn’t feel good at all. “Um,” she said instead, “maybe we could all go together.”

Stephanie brightened. “I’d like that.”

Rosa smiled. “Kiara, meet my friend Stephanie.”
