“So, I went into that tunnel to find my brother, and there’s this big ugly hobo sitting there. It was so gross.” Maddie took out her clear lip gloss and smothered it on her lips.

“Did he bite you?” Miranda giggled in a furious fit and threw her Coach purse on the ground.

“Oh, gawd no. I screamed and ran out the second I saw him.” Maddie stared at Miranda as if Miranda had just called her something nasty. Caitlyn appeared in the room, and threw her Uggs into the corner with the rest of the shoes.

“Oh. My. God. I just saw the hottest guy at the playground with my brother. He was sitting in the tunnel, and when I went to get my sister, he smiled at me.” Caitlyn smiled and bit her lip.

Miranda stared at Maddie, and Maddie stared back. She flipped her hair and looked towards Caitlyn.

“Did you happen to notice that he was a hobo?” Caitlyn shook her head at Maddie. “Okay, well you can have him. If you want.”

Caitlyn smiled and ran to the park. When she arrived…

the hobo bit her.
