Emily and Amelia were both taken to the nearby clinic for treatment. Before the way, Amelia kept her head down, sparing only two humiliated, angry glances at Emily and Theo before going quiet.
No one really knew how the accident had happened.
Emily recalled that she’d only been trying to get away from Amelia, who was badgering her endlessly. She’d taken a step forward, twisted her ankle slightly, and instinctively bent over for a moment. When she looked up, Amelia was already on the ground.
Maybe Amelia had tried to grab her and lost her balance in the process.
Amelia’s injuries were quite serious—her palms and legs were scraped up, and there was a nasty red gash across one of her calves, probably from hitting the edge of the steps. The clinic staff was still cleaning her wounds.
