Veronica ran all the way home without stopping once. People looked at her funny a couple times and when she ran past a guy on the street she heard him call after her, "Hey sweet thing, whatcha runnin' from? Need some protectin'?" She had just ignored him and continued on. When she got home she immediately went upstairs to the bathroom and took a shower since she felt gross. She switched into jeans and a t-shirt with some random design on it when she finished with her shower, dried off, and blow-dried her hair. She tied her hair in its usual pigtails. She was wondering what she was going to do with all the time she had now because now that she had made the feeling in her stomach simmer down she didn't want to be alone when her cell phone rang. "Hey Veronica! I didn't think you'd pick up since you're usually in practice..." It was Carmen. "Yeah, I would have been if I hadn't felt sick to my stomach." "Oh...well...I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the movies with Liz and I, but..." "Actually, I'd love to go. I felt somewhat better after I got home and took a shower." "Well, since you're out early, we can go to the next showing...meaning we'd have to meet up and leave like, now." "Alright, I'll see you two soon." After she hung up, she went downstairs and wrote a note for her parents so they'd know where she was when they got home. She left the house and headed for Carmen's house to meet up with her and Liz.
