Kat:
Kat made a face and order green beans, rather reluctantly. Then trotted off
to the bathroom with Julia and Ingrid. She washed her hands and then shook
them, sending water droplets flying in every direction. "Yep," she
responded. "I'm ready."
Derek:
Derek chuckled. "Appearances can be deceiving," he told Reese. "I shutter
to think the sorts of things you're father's been telling you." He raised
his eyebrows and looked at Sam curiously when Reese mentioned flashbacks
about school.
Sam:
Sam shrugged smiling at him brightly. "I can't even walk by the place for
another 5 years, because I still have detention. But, Sister Mary Alice did
tell me once that she thought the Convent would do me good." She had to
laught at one herself. "The scary thing is that for five seconds I actually
considered it. I got over it though."
