The Search

Getting The Forgetful Grace Ethans

"So you still didn't get it?" asked Sebastian when Laura explained him and Noah about the confirmation paper. Laura shook her head.
"Well we don't want to go without you..." Noah said trying to make her feel much better but she felt more worse now that her friends wouldn't go to their dream camp because of her.
"There must be another way though, right?" Sebastian said hopefully but it was of no use. No one could find another possible way to get in camp.

"It's okay Laura, we'll all do something else together like spent most of the time we can or we can even build our own camp maybe?" said Madison.

"Just forget it now!" Laura exclaimed she wanted no more talk about this. "By the way, where are the others?" It had been one whole hour since Noah and Sebastian arrived and still Mark, Grace and Leah hadn't come for the meeting. 
"Mark said he would come late, he has to take care of Mason since Mr. and Mrs. Harrison went somewhere out," Noah replied. "I don't know about the other two."

"Should I call them?" Madison asked taking her cellphone from her bag.

"Actually, no need, let's go to them? I mean- we have nothing else to do now so...?"

"Yeah that is kind of a good idea," Sebastian sighed "I wanna do something," getting up from Laura's bed. 

"Okay then let's go."

Ten minutes later, they were all downstairs near the door ready to go. "Mom we are leaving!" Laura yelled out to her mom.
"Did you take the money?" asked Noah. They had decided to go to the stalls, Sebastian pleaded, that were open.
"Yeah I did," Laura replied.

They first went to Grace's house.
"Oh hey guys...what hapened?"Grace asked confused seeing all of them at her front door staring at her. Then she realized, "Oh no, I didn't miss another meeting, did I?"
"Yes!" all the others shouted, Grace had always been the forgetful one among them. Although she looks intelligent and clever she is absent-minded most of the time.
She was wearing a light green apron. It looked like she was baking a cake. Then Laura remembered. It is her father's birthday the next day and she had invited all of The Septems  to it. How could I forget? Laura thought scratching her head.

"I'm sorry, come on in!" Grace exclaimed. They all went in and sat in the couch, that was the first place they go if they ever visited Grace, as it was very soft and comfortable.
There was no one else in the house except for her mother. Grace was an only child and all her friends were like a family to her.
