Question

okay, fine, i believe you, kevin says gruffly, and he lumbers off.

thank you so much, olivia, mia says, for helping me deal with that guy and for entering my dish in the contest.

i ask her, \why did you abandon me?\ it comes out angrier than i intended.

mia looks stricken. \abandon you? i called out for you to join me, but you walked away.\

oops—was that what mia was saying when everyone was surrounding her?

\im sorry,\ i murmur, \i thought you were having fun without me.\

mias face softens. \olivia, youre my one true friend at this school—the only one whos taken the time to get to know me.\

what a relief!

\mia, will you teach me how to make those grits?\

\id love to!\

\in return, ill demonstrate how to make burnt cheese balls,\ i offer, and the two of us burst out laughing.
