Confectionately Yours #2: Taking the Cake!
“Annie asks, eyeing my sandwich. “Do you want some chips or something?”
“Okay. Thank you.” Annie hands me a bag, and we exchange awkward smiles. We’re being extra polite to each other after my dressing-room outburst.
Dad pays for everything, and we head out into the food court with our trays.
My sandwich looks a little sad, sitting there on my plate. The top piece of bread is askew and some lettuce is spilling out. I could have made a better-looking sandwich in my own kitchen. But it doesn’t tas...te bad.
Annie and I are quiet as we eat, but Chloe and Dad are talking about a movie they both want to see. Chloe and Dad both love action comedies. So do I. Chloe says, “Should we see it? It’s playing in an hour.” The movie theaters are next to the food court. Why not?
“Sure,” I say, trying hard to sound excited. The red dress is in a bag at my feet, and I wonder how I’m ever going to get myself to wear it.
Chloe reaches for one of my potato chips, and when she pulls her hand back, she manages to knock over her own drink.MoreLess
