"Jenny! Your friends are outside waiting for you." Mother spouted from downstairs, a bowl and spoon taking up her hands. A flurry of steps pounded down to the front door. Outside awaited three bored looking kids just as small as the girl.

"What about you? What are you being?" Summer inquired the girl walking next to her.
"I don't know."
"Don't you want candy?"
"I do, I just don't know what I want to be yet."
"You only have a few weeks left to pick."
"I know, Summer."

"What happened? What was IT?"
