Chapter 7

Emma’s face went white.

“Wha? What in the world … ?” She sagged against the wall.

Sophie burst into tears. “If something had happened to you … ,” she sobbed.

Emma took two steps toward Sophie and wrapped her in a big hug. She too began to cry.

“You saved my life. I’m so sorry for everything. I’m so, so sorry!”

Sophie hiccupped and said, “No, I’m sorry! I should have never said those things to you.”

“No, it was all my fault. I broke the code! I’ll stop dating Trey. And then I—” She wailed and hugged onto Sophie tighter. “I can’t believe I accused you of putting notes on my desktop!”

Sophie stepped back. “First, you better keep dating Trey. You guys look so happy together.” Sophie wiped her eyes. “Besides, I’m soooo over him. He’s yesterday’s news.”

Emma giggled and wiped her eyes too. Then she got serious. “I never want any guy to get between us. Or anything else.”

Sophie nodded. “I missed you. So much. But this is how life happens. Other people are going to become bigger parts of our lives. And that’s OK. Because we’re sisters and we’ll always have each other.”

They both hugged each other tight again. Sophie started giggling once more. “We’re drama queens, huh?”

A voice echoed through the bathroom: “I’ll say you’re drama queens.”

Sophie heard the snap of gum and knew that Kayley had found them.

Kayley, Madeleine, and Ophelia stood at the shower room entrance, wiping away tears of their own.

The twins began to walk toward them.

“What the hell happened in here?” Ophelia said.

“Sophie just saved my life,” Emma said grimly. “There’s an exposed wire down there and a puddle of water.”

Madeleine, Kayley, and Ophelia all gasped.

“Holy schmolies!” Madeleine said.

Kayley’s eyes were huge. “Did you see it there or something, Sophie?”

Sophie remembered her hallway warning. “No, that little redheaded girl … Chloe—is that her name? She said there was an exposed wire. And I saw Emma go into the shower, so I sprinted to grab her.”

“That fairy girl, the one who looks like she’s twelve? Yeah, that’s Chloe. So that girl saw the wire but didn’t tell Emma?” Ophelia said.

Sophie shrugged. “I mean, maybe she was going to tell someone.”

“Did she see Emma walk in?” Madeline asked.

Sophie shook her head. “I honestly don’t know. She showed up out of nowhere. All I know is without that information, Emma would be dead.”

The five of them shared a shudder. The shower room door opened, and one of their classmates started toward the shower stall by the far wall.

“Don’t go in there!” Sophie shouted.

The girl looked at her quizzically and said, “Aren’t you the one who threatened your own sister?”

“My sister would never do something like that,” Emma said. “And I had better not hear you saying anything close to that again.”

The girl retreated with her hands out. Sophie felt a warm glow of love spread through her.

Emma backed away and added, “Unless you have a death wish, I’d stay out of the shower for now.”
