BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS

One afternoon, Nori was waiting for Gina to pick her up. They had
agreed to see a ball game. When Gina did not arrive, Nori went to the
game by herself. I guess she forgot again to stop for me, Nori though
unhappily. Nori was right when she reached the school ground she saw
Gina talking and laughing with Nina. Gina used to be my best friend
but now shed rather be with Nina. No wonder, the two of them talk
about silly things. They even beat classes just to go to movies or
parties, she thought. I cant do anything if she prefers to go with
Nina. After all, they are birds of the same feathers.
