She came to the class with the principal, a teacher and a man whom the principal quickly introduced to the class as Theresa's father. He was dressed in plain clothes and there was nothing that suggested he was a very wealthy man like Theresa had always claimed.
The principal asked Theresa where her seat was, she pointed and he personally went over and he opened the desk. He brought out her bag and asked her if it was her bag and she affirmed.
The principal searched the bag thoroughly and said he did not find anything in the bag. Debbie like the rest of the children in the class wondered what the problem could be
I guess your daughter is telling the truth, there is nothing in her bag, the principal said.
Theresa's father scratched his head in confusion. She was the only one in the house yesterday, her brothers had returned to school over the weekend, he said.
The principal asked Theresa who her friend is in the class was and Debbie's heart fell when Theresa pointed towards her direction.The principal looked at Debbie and ordered her to stand.
