Ella blinked; she couldn't believe that's what she thought.

"Sorry? I said sorry because I thought you would be embarrassed to be next to someone who was crying! If I poisoned food, which I would never, I wouldn't just say sorry! I would remove it immediately! To prove it, lemme show you."

Ella grabbed a bowl of salad and took a bite. The she fell over dead.

Just kidding.

"See?" Ella remarked, "Perfectly fine...and good." She took another bite, then set the bowl down. Yet another tear fell down. STOP! she wanted to yell. She was angry, not sad.

Ella saw Violet apologize. She didn't even know what to say to that girl. She clung onto James.
