There were two friends,

One rich and the other making it

They were bound to heart

And both were thinking alike

They liked doing their hair the same

They liked each other parents.

They were like sisters playing ever

Since they could remember.

It happened the rich friend's

Mother and father had an unfortunate accident on vacation

And she was left under the care of

Her aunt, this happen when she was becoming a teenager.

Her aunt had strict rules and showed indifference toward her friend.

The friends became increasingly

Rebelling, they plotted to run away.

The friend with less reason with her rich friend about how will she provide for herself once they run away.

And she exclaimed you just take what you need and some of what you want, quoting her aunt.

They both finally agreed to go on their own. And they met over their aunt's house, the rich friend grab her aunt's money pouch. And when her aunt suddenly came to see about them believing they were going out for some entertainment.

The rich friend seeing her aunt coming asked her friend to hold something, it belonged to her aunt.

The aunt caught the friend and gave a warning to her niece.

The aunt called the police to arrest the friend, the friend pleading spoke to the police and told her side.

The rich friend stood by her aunt's confession. And the police escorted the friend home and told her parents, they left with a warning if she comes around her friend again then she will be sought to a juvenile center.

It happened, after sometime

They met in school, the rich friend was popular with new friends. The other friend walked away from her, not regretting. The rich friend pressured her saying I could have you arrested and confessed what exactly she did that night as if it happened yesterday. The counselor hearing set the friend free but guided the rich friend to the principal's office. Hours later, the parents of the friend and the rich friend's aunt fought over their friendship and embarrassed she agreed to disagree. And the two families left unresolved. Eventually, the rich friend got expelled and the other friend made new friends.
