The 次 day, Emma, Eve, and Mellissa met outside the school. Suddenly, the three girls got tackled into a bush. "Hey! What was that for?! I broke a nail!" Emma yelled. Eve looked up and realized Ms. Winters had tackled them. "Ms. Winters?!"Eve whisper-exclaimed, attempting to 移動する her long black hair out of her face. She had ロスト the rubber band holding it up in the bushes. Mellissa looked around the schoolyard and luckily it was empty. "I had to mark あなた absent for the day, but your parents won't know. Sometimes the system gets messed up, anyway." Ms. Winters said. All three girls stared blankly. "Just follow me" Ms. Winters 発言しました as the girls got up and dusted blades of 草 from their body. Then Emma looked at Mellissa. Then at Eve. Then Mellissa again. Both girls nodded and started to follow the teacher into the woods.

Once the girls were deep in the woods, a snowflake fell on Mellissa's cheek. Then another, and another. "WHAT THE HECK?! It's close to the end of spring, it's like 90 degrees, how could it be snowing?!" Mellissa exclaimed. "Guess it's a ‘condition’ I have... discovered it at dinner. And it was hard explaining..." Emma said. Suddenly Eve disappeared and there was a scream. Mellissa and Emma stopped in their tracks and look up to find Ms. Winters gone, too. Just then, the ground started thumping to... music? Emma and Mellissa took one step and fell into a hole. At the bottom they found Eve and Ms. Winters... And lots of other strangers! The thumping was music, and it was Mellissa and Emma’s お気に入り song, and apparently Eve's, too.

She was talking to this girl with purple and blue highlights in her hair along with a boy who looked like the girl's brother.

"Hey, Eve!" Emma called. Eve looked toward Emma, who had Mellissa at her side. "Hey, guys meet Kenya," Eve began, pointing to the girl. "And..." Eve continued, now pointing at the boy. "Raymonde!" Eve finished. "Cool! Nice to meet あなた two!" Emma 発言しました politely. Mellissa nodded as if to say "ditto".

After they all danced and socialized, Ms. Winters clapped twice. "Hello, students of Pine Oak. Today we have four--- wait, five new students, which means five new discoveries." Ms. Winters said, while everyone applauded. "Raymonde, Eve, Mellissa, Emma, and... Imani! Welcome!" Ms. Winters said. Mellissa's jaw was pretty much on her feet her mouth was so wide open, and she was so speechless. "Come here and introduce yourselves, don't be so shy! Say your name, grade, and type of monster." Ms. Winters said, nudging Eve.

"Uh, my name's Eve, 7th grader... and ---uh, I'm a vampire." Eve announced coolly. "Hey hey! So like my name is Emma I'm in seventh grade and I'm a yeti!!!" Emma 発言しました confident and very enthusiastically. She acted like she knew everyone in that room since kindergarten! Mellissa's turn. "M--- Mellissa." Mellissa began, staring at her sister. "7th. Werewolf." Mellissa whispered meekly. Then, her face looked as pale as Eve's, and then Mellissa collapsed to the floor in a daze. The last thing Mellissa heard was her sister yelling, "Sis, no, are あなた okay?!"

After an hour, Mellissa finally woke up. "Imani? Is that you???" Mellissa moaned. Mellissa's sister nodded. "Dad, Mom, and all the brothers sat me down and told me being a werewolf was an old family secret. Then they showed me everything. The only reason that didn't happen with あなた is because they saw あなた had already figured out." Imanee said. Mellissa stood up. "What time is it?" Mellissa asked hazily. "12:00, lunchtime!" Eve said. "Oh. Ok then." Mellissa replied.

After everyone had had eaten their ピザ and drank their soda, they were all stuffed. "Okay, everyone! I will see all of あなた 次 Thursday, same place!" Ms. Winters said. She started saying bye to everyone.

"Oh my gosh that was so fun!" Emma exclaimed on the bus with Eve and Mellissa at each side. "Yeah! And Eve, I think あなた like Raymonde!!!" Mellissa whispered. Eve gasped and 発言しました "Psshh I so do not, okay?!" Mellissa gave her the "Confess Stare", when she can make ANYONE confess ANYTHING. "Face it Eve. I have never seen あなた look that way at ANYBODY." Emma said. Eve shielded her eyes from Mellissa's stare, but finally cracked and looked. "Fine fine fine, I guess he's kind of nice... and cool... and cute... and... WHATEVER! Just never speak of him for the rest of this bus ride!" Eve confessed.

When Emma got home, she had Mexican for dinner. She went to her room, did her homework, booted up her ピンク bedazzled laptop, and did some research of her own.

The 次 日 in the morning, Emma’s mom found Emma asleep at her 机, デスク with her laptop on. "Maybe I can find out what Emma likes these days, and get up to date, によって checking her latest searches!" She said. Emma’s mom clicked the "all searches" button, and the 検索 that came up was "All about yetis". "Oh, this won't do! She still believes in monsters!" She said. She clicked away just before Emma bolted awake, with a sticky note stuck to her cheek. "Huh?" Emma yawned sleepily. "Oh, gosh! I need to get ready!" Emma exclaimed peeling off the sticky note and running to her closet.

After school, Emma opened the door to her house to find her parents at the door waiting. "Uh, hi!" Emma 発言しました to her parents. "Hey, honey. We need to talk." Her mom 発言しました leading her to the family room and sitting down with Emma. "Do あなた know the difference from real and fake?" Emma’s dad asked Emma. "Okay, what is this about?" Emma asked quizzically. "I ---- err --- a little birdie told me あなた still believe in monsters." Her mom blurted. Emma’s face went blue in shock. "W --- b---" Emma stuttered standing up. "It’s okay, my little monkey! It's not like あなた secretly are a monster, well, if they were real!" Her mom said, looking to realize Emma’s father had slipped away. Emma just kept sputtering. "It's okay, believe what あなた want to. I just saw your 検索 on your laptop and---" Emma’s mom started but Emma interrupted. "YOU LOOKED ON MY LAPTOP?!" Emma exclaimed. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I guess it’s okay. Just don't do it again, please!" Emma 発言しました grabbing her bag.

Once Emma was upstairs with her cat Philomena, she plopped down on her ベッド and called Eve and Mellissa. "Hey, Emma!" Mellissa 発言しました at the same time Eve 発言しました "hello". "Hey." Emma 発言しました in a gloomy voice. "Um Emma, what's wrong?" Eve asked.

Emma had told about her parents in a sad tone. "Oh wow... I'm speechless..." Mellissa said. "Me too!" Eve added. こんにちは guys, あなた know what time it is?" Eve asked. "Ummm... OH MY GOSH IT'S 9:00!" Mellissa said. "I have to go!" They all 発言しました at the same time, and then laughed. "Bye, guys!" They said, followed によって laughter and a click of the phone.
