After IO tricked my mom into buying me a bag of popcorn, I ran into Allison and Prudence Addler. They were nice. I told them how I got my opocorn and they laughed.

I joined the other kids playing hopscotch, and one three games. I was good.

"Nyree, C'mon it's time to go home." My mom caled after exciting the coffe shop. She had a caramel mocha in her hand and a donut in the other. She bit down on the donut, tore a piece off, and gave te rest to me.

I took it thankfully, and tossed my bag of popcorn in the trash. We walked to our apartment. I don't reamber anything else. I think I fell asleep. . .
