Helanie:
"Um, where are you going?" As I was about to leave the mansion again, I heard Charlotte behind me. I turned to her and forced a smile onto my lips, since we were still not letting her know that we knew her truth. I was just surprised at how long she had kept this from us. How long she had been pretending to be nice, when all this time she wanted to be her same stupid and vindictive self.
"Oh, um, I have some work. Why, is there anything you need to talk about?" I replied, wondering why she had to stop me at the door. It's not like I had to tell them every time I left the mansion.
"Oh no, I was preparing food for you. I saw you come. Is there any specific demand?" she asked, holding a spatula in her hand, tossing it over her shoulder with her wrist turned and resting her hand on her shoulder.
I stared at her for a few seconds, wondering how to tell her in the nicest way that I wasn't going to eat anything she cooked for me.
