Where are we going?

Lucy

lol to revenge land. Ok, I pretty much grew up with Finn since he’s been best friends with my brother for ages. He hates pickles and Pride and Prejudice, the movie

Ivy

The guys were all in the class ahead of me, but one time we all went on a field trip together and Finn’s socks got wet and he had a bit of a meltdown about it

Summer

When was that?

Ivy

2nd grade. Maybe he’s gotten over it by now

Lucy

No one likes wet socks

Visions of me tying Finn to a chair and force-feeding him pickles while I doused his socks with water and playedPride and Prejudiceat full volume danced before my eyes. The image was equally hilarious and satisfying.

Olive

Umm ok. I think I can work with that

Summer

If those ideas don’t work, we can always just throw him off the top of the lighthouse

I snorted a laugh, my chest feeling lighter than it had in ages.

Lucy

Summer! No murder

Summer

Boring

Ivy

We should get lunch sometime. Oli, have you been to Rosie’s?

Olive

Not yet

I didn’t admit that I’d barely stepped foot in town besides the market.

Lucy

How about the day after tomorrow?

Ivy
