Mathilda
She continued on with her book without inviting us, even Martha, to take a sit.
Thus, we all stood in place waiting for Mother Renata. We were separated into two lines. The first line was of Martha, who was both alone and upfront, and the second line was of us troubled girls.
No one dared speak the whole time, and the only sound that I could hear was the flipping of Sister Faustina’s fat book. My feet started to ache, so I finally broke the silence, “Can we just go back later, Martha?” I whispered.
Behind her book, I caught a glimpse of Sister Faustina’s eyes as she threw me little daggers.
