NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED
Nancy Francis and Penny Grant were strutting towards Arthur's hotel.
"Hey, if we get too cold from swimming and too hot from sunbathing, we can go to my house and watch the old movie I really LOOOVE, Moulin Rouge! You know that bohemian character? He's soo hot and his voice, OMG! Then we can paint our nails, by the way I prefer red-"
"That's so sweet of you, Nancy, but I don't think we will have time for that… I'm just going there to arrange the swimming organization for the the kids from "Save The Children". The Starving Orphans-Pray For A Wish Foundation has sadly went bankrupt a few years ago, but I found this new charity!"
"Really? I'm thinking of finding another foundation with you and I'll name it "Francis & Grant Corp and we will produce BEAUTACIOUS make up products! We will graduate this year so we can find it no later than next year-"
But Penny was already scurrying towards the manager of an orphanage and when she reached him, they made their way to Arthur. Deserted, Nancy sighed and changed her posture to look cooler. It had been almost eight years since Penny, herself, Jessie, Vinnie, Polly('yuck!' uttered Nancy) and all the others had been in Room 402, but they were still meeting on a regular basis. Evaluating the impression she gathered from their reunions, she could tell nothing much had changed. She would be forever chasing after Penny, Polly was still a teacher's pet and Jessie and Vinnie were still complete idiots. However, Nancy felt a hot chocolate-like feeling that she had for a while whenever she thought of Vinnie. This was nothing like her crush on The Sidewalk Boys, she thought as she tried to settle the butterflies. Indeed her liking for Vinnie was completely unwanted. They had tried out back then when they were kids, and her experiences warned her that he was too immature.
