I had woken up from sleeping and all of the sudden I saw a girl ripping out my flowers! I went outside and just watched her pull them out because I didn’t know what to say. After that girl ripped them out, she finally realized that she did something wrong and regretted it. She said “M-miss Lottie!” and I was in utter shock that the girl was going to apologize to me.
