"Must you be so rude and harsh? I guess you can never expect nice words from a despicable person." Sadie crossed her arms and glanced condescendingly at Rita. She could not stand how Rita treated the marriage to the Parrs as elevating her to a higher social class.
Rita chuckled. "Only a bumpkin like you would think that way."
Sadie's expression then changed abruptly, for she detested being called a country bumpkin, especially by Rita.
"Who are you calling a bumpkin?"
"I'm merely stating the truth. You are a country bumpkin, aren't you? Your entire being screams 'village girl'."
"What did you just say?!" Sadie seethed. "You don't know anything! I'm the most fashionable person in school. The girls in school take cues from me all the time when choosing which clothes to buy. You're the 'village girl' here! Just look at how you dress! Who are you to call me unfashionable when you're not even fashionable yourself?"
Sadie was arguing incoherently, while Rita found herself growing calmer as she observed Sadie's agitation. "Then those girls must be all bumpkins too. Only bumpkins would ask for advice from someone like you."
Rita towered over Sadie, so even the simplest of attires was effortlessly elevated because of her stature. Clad in some rather plain garments, Rita's sophistication could only be appreciated by those with an attention to detail. Standing tall against the doorway, her silhouette stoked Sadie's jealousy even further.
"If you say another word, I'll tell Dad and let him decide who's in the wrong here! I bet he won't be happy to hear that you're already stirring up trouble as soon as you come back home!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
