Holly! The Rag doll and the Human girl

Chapter 16: Lesley escapes!

     In the Whitmore University, Lesley is feeling depressed, realizing that she never came back to see her classmates for days. She watched Lisa, Portia, Nikki, Vivian, Bailey, Maureen, Verena, Mallory and Rita talking to each other again. "I wish I would fit in with my classmates in DeVry University." She said to herself as she saw the basket where her clothes are and pretended that she didn't saw it at first. In a moment, Lesley pulled out a bag from her pocket and went to the basket before pulling out her clothes. In a couple of minutes, Lesley came out of the Carver Hall, carrying the bag with her stuff inside and started to make her way back to the university. "Here I go." She said as Lisa noticed her leaving.

"Holly? Holly, where are you going?!" She shouted.

"I'm going to the university, Lisa. And actually, my name's Lesley Loren." Lesley told her as she ran away.

"Holly, don't go away! Holly!"

After leaving Whitmore University, Lesley removed the hair bow from her hair and threw it away to avoid being mistaken for Holly. She awaited for the bus to bring her back to DeVry University and tried to signal it to stop, but, no avail. "Oh, please, take me back!" She said as she went to the bus stop in Clifton Road. Where another bus appeared and stopped. Lesley went inside as Lisa, along with Maureen, Verena, Vivian, Mallory, Nikki, Portia, Bailey and Rita appeared in the bus stop and realized that the outcast girl left her hair bow behind.

"Where she went? Is she doomed to be a runaway forever?" said Rita.

"I have no idea, dawg. Holly ran away from us! Is she lookin' like a dopey runaway?" said Portia.

"No, no. She left her hair bow here." Lisa showed them the removed hair bow.

The girls gasped in shock. "My gosh! It's Holly's hair bow!" Maureen was shocked.

"What if Dean Bryan will find out that Holly left?" Verena asked.

"I have no idea, but, the girl packed her stuff and escaped." claimed Vivian.

Later on, in Lindbergh Drive, Lesley had left the bus and looked for a place to change her clothes. "I still have to make it, but, how?" She asked as she looked around before noticing a house. "Hey! I saw it already!" The girl went to the house in 952 GA-236 street and went to a bedroom. "Excuse me! I need to change my clothes here!" She said to someone else. One second later, Lesley came out of the house wearing her sweater, jeans and shoes and threw away the striped dress, stockings and shoes before going to the next bus stop by foot. And then, she arrived at the Lindbergh Central Station where she looked around as she started to go to the Lindbergh Center Transit Station.

Meanwhile, Lisa and her friends are worried that Lesley left the dress behind after she changed back to her normal clothes. "We're too late." said Lisa.

"What are we gonna do? How are we going to find Holly?" Mallory asked. "Nobody here knows have they seen her!"

"Lisa, it's OK. You can find another girl who looks like Holly." reassured Rita.

"Rita, I can't find another girl. I'm worried with Holly."

"The Rag doll? What about Mel and Kyle?" asked Bailey.

"They'll be fine, Bailey." said Nikki.

Without further delay, Lisa turned and talked to her friends. "Girls, I think that girl looks like Holly."

"What do you mean, Lisa?"

"That girl looks like Holly."

"Oh, right, the pigtails, the pink hair."

"She looks like Holly! Girls, come on! Let's go to DeVry University!" Lisa ordered her friends to follow her.

"Y'all heard the girl, ladies! Let's get a move on, yo!" Portia exclaimed boldly.

Later, Lesley had arrived in Marta Arts Center Station after catching a train. "Almost there," She said to herself as she saw a bus in its destination to Akers Mill Road, "Akers Mill Road! This is where the DeVry University is located!" Lesley exclaimed as she went to the bus, which took her from the Station to the road.
