"Nance, you got the snacks?"
"Yep."
"I brought the drinks."
"Pillows and the club laptop right here."
"CDs."
We all sat in Hannah's room. Her room was picture perfect. Every pale yellow curtain in place, denim covered furniture neatly in place. Hannah was wearing her efficiency glasses. They were dark and plain. I couldn't wear them if my life depended on them. The day before Karen had put flyers everywhere and we were having a party/meeting. We sat for the first 15 minutes talking about the hot twins in Maria's Spanish class.Ring! Ring! I dove for the phone. "Hi." The voice was strangely familiar. "Uh… hello YBSC. Nancy Dawes speaking, how may I help you?" "Hi, it's Margo Pike." I smiled. "Hi Margo, whaddya want." "Can I join your club." "Come over tomorrow at seven." AI was surprised that Margo had been bold enough to come out and ask us. "Well we got a hopeful new member." I said looking out on all of this. Riley looked really happy. "Tight!" she said, smiling. Karen looked unhappy. "Karen what's the matter?" Karen grumbled, "Nothing." We sat quietly for a second before the phone rang again. This time Terri got it first. "Hello YBSC. Yes, yes, well. Can I have your name please?" Hannah began to type. "Mrs. Prezizzio. You have two younger daughters, Andrea and Margaret? When, oh, this Staurday at four until seven. Okay. We'll call you back soon."
"Who's free this Saturday?" Hannah asked.
I frowned. "Public speaking and leadership classes."
Riley smiled sadly, "Sorry ballet and drama."
Karen frowned. "Dentist."
Hannah was typing furiously. "So that leaves me, Maria, Natalie, and Terri."
"Well, Hannah, weren't you and I planning on going to the community center and helping to make crafts with the little kids?" Maria said. "Yeah, so Terri, are you up for it?" Terri grinned. "Ready as ever!"
"Yep."
"I brought the drinks."
"Pillows and the club laptop right here."
