hey, margie, called luke across the crowded lunch
room. why dont you come and sit with us today? margie

students. she slid gratefully into a seat and took a swig of
his bottled water.

making new friends wasnt easy for her, a fact she blamed
on her vagrant childhood. somehow, though, luke, tess,
and pai had adopted her and made her feel at home.

asked tess through a mouthful of mashed potatoes.
margie groaned.
no way, she replied. what about you guys?
yeah, were working together as a group, and were
almost done, said pai. we were waiting to include you, if
you want. margie swallowed hard and stared down at her
plate. while the find the meaning of your name project
probably sounded like fun to most of her classmates, it just
made margie feel sick to her stomach.

that mr. loup would let me do an alternate project this
time. her friends exchanged thoughtful looks.

and tess held their fingers up in a solemn boy scouts
salute.
