At the back of the group of girls, the beautiful blonde girl is sulky and unusually quiet. It isn't so much that she has to go and cheer on her nemesis; nobody can force her to cheer, and it carries the advantage of missing afternoon lessons. More, it's about a letter she carries in her pocket from her father.
As far as Angela is concerned, she has no need to show up Carlotta or bully her; the girl does plenty of her own accord to cause shock and gossip. But the fact that her father has suddenly got into his head that she ought to move to a different school after talking for ages with the exchange girl has her very suspicious.
Carlotta is oblivious of any sly looks thrown in her direction, mostly because she keeps getting told to walk in a more ladylike manner, and scolded by the teacher for being the only one to manage to get mud on the hem of her school dress.
As they get close to the village, some of the girls notice that the party are heading in the same direction, but pay little attention. After all, it's the only road to the village, and plenty of people are out walking that day.
