this weekend and I’d hate to embarrass him.”
    “He‘ll be the envy of all the other guys with you on his arm.”
    She left and I could hear her giggling all the way down the hall.
    I picked up the phone. “Hi.”
    “Hi Cassie.”
    “So I heard about the slumber-party.”
    “Yeah, but unfortunately I made plans with Nora for Saturday night.”
    “Well, do you think she’d want to hang out with all of us? I don’t have any plans yet for this weekend and my folks are going out. As long as she behaves herself we should have fun.”
    I cracked up. “Honestly, Nora’s not that bad. She told Eva King off in the bathroom earlier today; it was awesome! You both might have more in common than you think.”
    “Really? Well, in that case, she‘s definitely invited. Let me know what she says.”
    After I hung up with Paige, I called Nora to find out if she’d be willing to go to Paige’s Saturday night. Fortunately, she liked the idea.
    “So she has a swimming pool? That sounds cool. I’ll hang,” said Nora.
    “Okay. I’ll let Paige know.”
                  “Sweet! See you in school tomorrow.”
    I hung up the phone right as Allie rushed into my room.
    “Excuse me? Knock before you enter,” I said.
    Her eyes were large. “Oh my God…you have to watch the news! Some hospital in France was attacked by a bunch of crazy patients. I guess they were acting like cannibals, eating each other’s flesh! Can you believe it? How gross is that?”
    I made a face. “Really?”
    We turned on the television. Sure enough, every channel was reporting about the incident. On one station, an anchorman stood outside of the French hospital where their local police surrounded the building.
    “So far there have been reports of at least fifty fatalities during this bizarre attack. The building has now been secured and everything seems to be under control. At least ten people have been arrested and detained; all were patients that were being treated in the hospital when this madness occurred. We’ll have more updates for you in just a minute.”
                  “Okay, that’s enough.” I said, turning off the television. “I don’t want to hear anymore. This stuff gives me nightmares, so if you want to watch the news, do it in your room.”
    Allie blew on her freshly painted nails. “No, that’s okay. It’s too freaky for me to watch too. Anyway …did you talk to Nora yet about Saturday?”             
    “Yes, she’s interested,” I said, picking up my iPod.
    “Cool. I like Nora and I really love her tattoo.”
    Nora had several tattoos, but the one Allie was referring to was of a small fairy on the back of her neck. A blue fairy covered in chainmail that was scowling and stood ready to kick-ass.
    I looked at my sister in surprise, as far as I could remember, she’d always been a girly-girl. “Isn’t that a little dark for your tastes?”
    She looked at me like I was an alien. “No. In fact I’m going to see if I can get my nose pierced for my birthday this year.”
    I snorted. “Good luck with that. I’d like to see dad’s expression when you run it by him.”
    She put her hands on her waist and scowled. “Mom will let me.”
    “Right…”
    Allie mumbled something and then left the room.
    Tweens , I thought. They think they know everything .
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Five
     
     
    I woke up Tuesday morning without Jed sneaking up on me or any remnants of a nightmare where someone was trying to eat my brains. When I made it to the bathroom without any kids charging after me, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. The house was so unnaturally quiet that it put me on edge and I just couldn’t enjoy it.
    When I made it to the kitchen, my dad was eating and reading the paper.
    “Well, this is kind of a nice change,” commented my dad as he finished a bowl of cereal. Normally he brought his breakfast downstairs to his Man Cave
