"Do you know how hard it was for me not to blab today?" Morgan questioned at lunch.
Ella smiled. She knew the answer but she asked anyway, "How hard?"
She pounded her fist on the table, "Extremely!" she continued to eat her salad. Once she'd shoved a forkful in and swallowed it she continued, "Every time someone is my classes said 'Me and Jessica went to the mall on Saturday' or 'Jake and I saw a football game' I wanted to yell out 'well I found out my best friend had super powers!'"
"Geeze! Relax, will you!" Ella hushed, "someone might hear you."
"Doesn't matter," Morgan poked at a crouton, "You could just read their minds, find out what they want the most and then bribe them to keep their mouth shut."
Ella folded her arms across the table, "Now you're just being ridiculous."
"I'm ridiculous? You're the ones who's being-"
"Hey you guys." Amy placed her lunch tray beside Ella's and sat down. "Sorry I couldn't make it this Saturday. I had to-"
"Help your Mom unpack." Ella interrupted.
Amy smiled. "How'd you know that? I thought I didn't tell you why I couldn't come."
"Well…" Ella stuttered. "I mean, your house is all done being re-decorated, so it's quite obvious that you had to help your Mom unpack."
"Yes." Morgan nodded, "Very obvious."
The girls fell silent. Ella tapped her fingers on the table. She looked at Morgan.
'Just tell her! She's our best friend!' Morgan pleaded silently.
Ella shook her head silently and mouthed 'no'.
'C'mon!'
Ella ignored her this time. She continued to nibble on her ham and cheese sandwich.
Amy broke the silence. "So, have you guys started your family project yet?"
"No." Morgan replied, "My family's so boring. My Mom was a nutritionist and grew up in Canada. My grandparents were nutritionists and grew up and Canada, that'll make a great ten page report." (Heavy sarcasm)
"How about you Ella," Amy turned towards her, "What's your family history?"
"I've never really thought about it before. Like, I know about my parents. But I have no idea about my grandparents. I've never even met them before. They still live back in Britain."
"Oohhh! A mystery." Amy giggled.
