Caitlin In Charge

Chapter Eight

The next day at lunch, Caitlin sits with Natalia and Zoe. Emma sits at a table across the room with other friends. Caitlin thinks Emma looks sad; she keeps glancing back.

Caitlin stayed up late last night looking up the answers to the questions in the packet. She removed all the index cards not in the packet, and added the correct answers. But as the girls went through the new questions, it just felt wrong.

That night, Caitlin couldn’t fall asleep. She watched the clock tick by. Eventually, she turned over and texted Natalia. She was also awake.

Natalia said Emma didn’t seem mad at anybody, but just quiet and sad. Caitlin confesses that she misses Emma, and she is actually questioning whether it is okay to use the questions or not. Natalia said she was thinking the same thing. They agree together that they should stop using the questions, and as a team, they’ll have to decide what to do.
