Authors note: At lunch nothing really happened. It was pretty normal.
After lunch though, the girls went to the kitchen to see multiple tables with bowls and supplies spread out. "Today we're baking extra treats! I'll let you pick your partners, but there will have to be a group of three." Miss Grimwood said.
"I wanna be partners with you Darla!" Tanis said. Darla did not. Darla liked sweet things, Tanis liked spoiled things. They wouldn't be able to decide what they would do.
"Sorry, Tanis, but I'm going with..." Darla looked around to pick someone. "...Susie!" She pointed at Susie.
"Susie?" Tanis wondered. Darla skipped over to Susie.
"Hi Susie. Wanna be partners? I'm sure you don't wanna eat that gross stuff." Darla said.
"I don't like you, but today I will eat human food. Just do everything I say." Susie said.
"Okay!" Darla saluted and they shook hands.
The girls picked a Strawberry shortcake to bake. Soon they got all the ingredients and finished. Miss Grimwood and Matches tasted everyone's dessert to choose who won. "And the winner is...Tanis and Elsa!" Miss Grimwood said.
"Huh?!" Darla was shocked. Tanis and Elsa even got a mini cake with candles that Matches lit.
"No fair!" Darla huffed and crossed her arms.
"Life isn't fair, Darla." Susie said and walked away.
Darla walked up to Tanis. "I'm sorry I wasn't partners with you, Tanis. I didn't want monster food." Darla apologized.
"I forgive you, Darla. To be honest, I didn't want human food!" Tanis said. The girls laughed and were friends again.
At dinner Darla sat with every girl, even Kanna and Susie. This would be her last night at the school. They all became friends. Soon it was time for bed. Darla had just gotten used to the room. She was going to miss this place, even if it was old, spooky, and full of cobwebs.
