“What’s happening?”

“Has someone stolen something? How brazen! How dare they steal with so many people around?”

“Anybody who dares to steal something here must be a habitual offender or a new student. They must be punished severely.”

“This student is well–dressed and doesn’t look like a thief. Could it be a misunderstanding?”

Zelena seemed willing to publicly confront Violeta to get the photo. She had dropped all pretense and no longer spoke to Violeta affectionately.

“Are you sure this photo is yours?”

“Yes. It’s not a photo of me. It’s a photo of a girl with a round face and bangs, and it’s important to me. Give it back to me!”

stone to success.

The onlookers didn’t know the importance of this photo, but they chose to believe Zelena when they saw her on the verge of tears.

“It’s just a photo. She’s about to cry. Just give it back to her.”

“Why is this girl like this? Is she really so broke that she needs to steal a photo? She’s really desperate.

Violeta ignored the chattering crowd and told Zelena, “What if this photo doesn’t belong to you? What will you do? You accused me of stealing. I can sue you for defamation!”
