Mrs. McGlynn gives you her address which you write down on a piece of scrap paper and then says goodbye. As you let Lola out to run around the backyard, you scope out the area to make sure nobody is lurking there, waiting to catch you by surprise. It'll suck if you have to be on high alert like this for the rest of the school year. Even if things do calm down, it's hard to imagine life going back to any semblance of normal after all of this.
"Heading over to Mrs. McGlynn's house later," you message your friends. "She knows a lot about Arbor Isle's history, thought it might be worth talking to her. Anyone want to come?"
"YES," Diego replies right away, then follows up with "she was on that ghost hunter show, she definitely knows stuff."
"Lol no thanks," Addy responds. "I'm trying to make summer last longer, not start school stuff earlier."
"Sure," Kirill says. He then sends a smiley emoji.
Anuja sees the message, but doesn't respond for a long time. You're already dressed and showered by the time she sends "I think I'm going to stay home today."
