Its finally the day of the contest.Tshidi has just woken up and her face is itching.
“Tshidi what happened to your face?Why is it all red and swollen?” Mercy asks as she sees her.
“Red and swollen?Let me go to the bathroom to check it.”
Tshidi goes to the bathroom.Mercy checks her new clothes but finds them all teared up.
“Tshidi,come here fast.You need to see this.” Mercy says and Tshidi comes running.
“What’s wrong?” Tshidi asks.
Mercy shows her the teared up clothes.
“What happened?Who did this to me?Why?” Tshidi says on the verge of tears.
“Hey, don’t worry.” Mercy comforts her.
“Why does everything have to turn out bad for me?Clearly God doesn’t want me winning the contest.How can I win with a swollen face and teared up clothes?” Tshidi says crying.
“Nothing is going to stop you,even a swollen face and a few teared clothes. I bet it’s that girl,Neli who did this.But right now don’t worry.I’ve got a cream that will help you with your swollen face.And you’ve got many beautiful clothes to wear.Now stop crying because it will only make your face worse.Say I am doing this.” Mercy says
“I am doing this.” Tshidi says and hugs her mom.

“I’m telling you,my plan worked.” Neli tells her friends.
“How sure are you?” Mbali asks.
“100%I mean who could model with a swollen face and teared clothes.No ways!” Neli says laughing.
“But don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” Mbali says again.
“Whatever.”

Maria is alone at home as Otlile went to school.She hears a knock.She opens the door.
“Lucy is this you?” Maria says.
“It’s me,Mama.” Lucy says and gets in.
“Why didn’t you tell us you were getting out?We could have planned something nice for you.” Maria says.
“I just wanted to surprise you.Anyways, where’s Otlile and Olerato?” Lucy asks.
“Otlile is at school and Olerato was kidnapped.” Maria says.
“Kidnapped?What happened?” Lucy asks.
“That’a story for another day.”
