“See?” I say. “I told you it would happen.”
“Shut up!” April yells. “Just let me think for a sec.”
“Fine.” I mutter stubbornly. We sit in scilence for what seems like hours.
“Hmmmm. How old did you say you were?” She asks.
“Twelve. And you call yourself my sister.”
“Yeah well it’s not something I brag about.”
“Hey!”
“Shut up! I’m trying to figure this out.” Again with the scilence. April paces back and forth the whole time, lost in thought. “Amazing!” She finally says.
“What? Did you figure it out?”
“Well,”
“You didn’t figure it out, did you?”
“Not exactly but,”
“Ugh! I’m gonna be sent to the labs like Bernie.”
“We won’t let them take you. Now if you would just listen…”
“And a frog! Honestly, a frog. Sure, Yami got a salamander but no one that I know has ever gotten a frog and….”
“What part of shut up don’t you understand?”
“That part where you opened your mouth and started talking.”
“Look, this is weird. Not only are you early but you have a frog. I don’t know. I really don’t know.”
