Sacha was late coming home from school. Her mother had wanted her
to be home by 3:30, but a friend had asked her to stop by to play
briefly. Then she had wandered to the store to buy a bottle of water.

was chased by Jamie down the street! I was so scared. I had to hide."
Her mother's face softened. "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. That's it, I'm
calling his mother right now."
