“Don’t bother”
said Strawberry. “I already know”
“You-you do?”
said Waffles.
“Yea” said Strawberry.
“Oh, and by the way, I kissed your boyfriend, too.” And she left.
Meanwhile, in the same culdesac,
Lemonade && Fiona were at Doreen’s.
“I can’t believe
that Bats killed Midnight” said Doreen. “She was always such a niice woman”
“Right” Lemonade
pretended to agree. “So, Doreen” she continued.
“Yea?” Doreen
asked.
“Why did you want me
to come over?”
“Well” said Doreen.
“You’re the only one good enough to join our squad. We thought we’d give you a try. You know, try you out?”
“Um, cool?” said
Lemonade.
“Yea” said Fiona.
“But none of your loser friends are welcome on the squad, clear?”
“Um” Lemonade
hesitated.
Doreen smiled at her.
“Ok” Lemonade
gave in, unwillingly.
