"That was before the pipes went off behind the walls."
"They had to fix the pipes and put the wall back in, so we're roomies till then." Hanna smiled. "It'll be fun."

Hanna came back through with a basket. "Look at the card."
Emily read it out.

"Well, shit." Ivy breathed.
"It's not even good candy." Hanna moved to the bin. "Wait, no, no, no, I'll still eat it." Ivy waved her hands.
"Well, ok, you get poisoned then." Hanna put it back in the basket.

Ivy, Hanna and Emily were walking to school. Emily had made them breakfast earlier to say thanks. "So, what are you making tomorrow, French toast?" Hanna asked. Ivy gave her a look.
