Quote of the Week: You do you and I'll do me and we're not gonna do each other.

Story- Part 2

This story wasn't supposed to be more than 6 pages long and I almost went over. It would literally go over 6 pages of I added one more word. :

Maria obediently bowed her head then hurried from the room to send the message. "Will that be all, Ms. Deoni?"
"Yes" , Rhoda replied.
"Then you are all dismissed." The remaining three students got up and began to exit the office. Rhoda stood by the door then caught the arm of Marisa, the school's top student, as she walked by.
"Hey, I've got some time to kill. You wouldn't mind me helping you get ready for the dance would you?"
"Won't they get suspicious when you're gone for so long?" asked Marisa.
"I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on the school, so it would actually be strange if I returned too quickly."
"Alright then, do what you want." Rhoda smiled and followed Marisa down the hall.
Half an hour later, the two girls were in Marisa's dorm. Rhoda was flinging the few dresses that Marisa owned across the bed when she felt something fly past; nearly missing her face. She looked on the bed where the thing had landed and saw the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. It was a simple chain of diamonds with strings of silver and topaz laced through. Rhoda picked up the necklace and turned toward Marisa, who was standing in front of the mirror.
"Did you throw this....?" Rhoda began to ask, but stopped when she saw the pained look on Marisa's face.
"Yeah, sorry," Marisa said, "that necklace just reminds me of something I'd rather forget. It was that day, seven years ago."
