"Come on. I'll take you to see the principal. We can sort all of this out and get you to where you belong," Stephanie said, holding out her hand.
Zelda took it, then was led to the school office. "Is this some kind of joke?" the principal said. "This is the second young lady who wandered over here today. There is something definitely strange going on."
"I'm not sure what," Stephanie said. "Maybe some sort of weird initiation, or prank? But I don't think this girl is responsible. Look at her, she looks confused and scared."
"We can call Zendaya Gibson...she took the other young lady over to Chesapeake. And I'm calling the Principal over there. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this. Sit down, young lady," the Principal told her, pointing to a nearby bench, where a teen with dyed red-hair was sitting. "Miss McMillan, I'll deal with you in a minute."
He headed into his office to make the call.
Zelda sat on the bench next to the other girl. "Something is very wrong," she remarked.
