Mia Buchanan: I promise, OK?

I press SEND and wait to see the typing dots. I should turn my head and see if he’s even still sitting there, if he’s walking toward the doors. But I can’t. I can only stare at the small screen and hope …

Yoshi Pennington: Thank you. *smiley face*

I don’t even try to hide the massive grin that’s taken over my face. Shoving my phone into my pocket, I turn to Lark.

“For someone who is so invested in the festival, you really don’t seem to care that much what the decision is,” Lark says, and I startle at the anger in her voice.

“I care.” I know I’m acting defensive, but I feel like I’m under attack.

“Well, then, stop flirting with Yoshi and let’s get this over with.”

I flinch. This is a different Lark than the one I know so well. Sure, she’s often anxious these days because of the stress on her mom, but this feels like something else. She’s a few steps in front of me before I find my voice. “How did you even know—”

She turns and treats me to an eye roll. “First, it was totally obvious just by looking at you guys. And second? It was just as hard to get Yoshi’s attention as yours. You guys were glued to whatever was happening on your phones.”

“I … um …” It’s hard to even form words right now. How can I describe what’s going on?

“Whatever. You’ll tell me when you need me.” And then she walks more quickly than I’ve ever seen her walk, just to get away from me.

I follow behind, swallowing hard.
