Lena's mom was calling her downstairs. She got up out of her bed and followed her mother's loud voice. "What Mom?" Her mom was walking in with the mail. "Here…you have something from Tibby." Lena saw that it was a package. But why would Tibby send her the pants this early? She took the package from her mom and ran back up the stairs.
Ripping the package open, she slid off her shorts and slipped the jeans on. It was a hot day, and she had chosen to wear the shorts for a reason, but she had to put the pants on. She took out her pen and paper and started to write Tibby.
Dear Tibby, I'm so glad that you sent the pants to me early. I don't know why you did it…but thankyou. I was beginning to forget that there was civilization outside of the island! I haven't run into Kostos though. I do see him occasionally down at the market, or when Effie and I are walking through the streets…but no confrontations! I'll talk to you later Tibbster.
Love Lenny
Lena sealed the letter and took it to the post office. She was on her way home when it happened.
I've never written a cliffhanger before!
