"Why, hello," said Ms. Month, smiling at Ella. Ella's mouth hung open but shut when Mr. Rook gave her a look.
John broke the silence. "So, Ms. Month, you are a children's author?" He spooned some rice and stuffed it in his mouth.
Ms. Month spoke in her British accent, "Yes. I wright the Night Fright series. They're about monsters and other supernatural beings." She spoke as if she was informing someone of important news. Her wrinkly cheeks shook as she told the hosts about her jobs. "But I'm surprised," she continued, pausing to chew her rice. "That Cory is not popular at school. Night Fright is very popular."
Ella sighed and decided to tell Ms. Month why kids aren't reading baby books. "Ms. Month, Cory and I go to high school. We don't read books for eight year old's." Ella tried to sound polite, but failed. Her voice sounded like an unexcited Siri.
Ms. Month frowned. Mr. Rook glared at his daughter. John tried not to laugh. John can never take things seriously. Ella thought, rolling her eyes.
After dinner, Ms. Month got up and walked to the door. Ella opened it, a smile for an apology on her face. The apology did not work.
"Ella Faith Rook," she hissed. "If I see you with Cory," she continued, stepping out the door. "You're secret will get out."
