Just like sisters...
Elizabeth Wakefield is shocked and upset when she hears that her best friend, Amy Sutton's, house has burned down. But she's happy to learn that Amy will be staying with the Wakefields while Amy's parents look for a new home. It will be just like having another sister around.
But living with Amy isn't as much fun as Elizabeth thought! Amy treats Elizabeth like her personal maid. And every time Amy talks about the fire, she stretches the truth a little more. Even worse, Amy is spending all her time with Elizabeth's twin sister, Jessica, and the snobby Unicorn Club. Elizabeth is puzzled and hurt. When Amy tells her new friends one of Elizabeth's biggest secrets, it's the last straw. Now the whole school is laughing at Elizabeth!
Can she ever trust Amy again?
The End of a Friendship?
Elizabeth folded her arms. "Amy, I want to talk to you."
"I don't have the time right now, Elizabeth," Amy answered uneasily. "Some kids are waiting for me."
"Some Unicorns, you mean." Elizabeth's blue-green eyes were flashing.
"Well, what about it?" Amy shot back. "What's wrong with the Unicorns? Just because the don't happen to like you very much -"
"I don't care if the Unicorns like me or not," Elizabeth retorted icily. "But I do have a right to get upset when I hear that they're spreading stories about me. A story that they could have onlyheard from you."
"It was the truth. I have a right to tell the truth, don't I?" Amy asked.
"Not when you're telling it to hurt somebody," Elizabeth said angrily. "And since when did you start worrying about the truth? That stuff you've been telling the Unicorns about the fire - you know it's all a lie!"
"That's enough, Elizabeth," Amy shouted. "I don't have to stand here and listen to this on minute longer!"
