There was a dish piled high with pancakes next to one with French toast A bowl of sausage was at the other end of the table beside a bowl of bacon In the middle were three different flavors of syrup, butter, whip cream, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips…my eyes couldn’t take it all in My stoht a whiff of a fresh batch of--I turned around and my mouth fell open--omelets

Malinda walked past and placed a dish with o with a separate boith scras

"Here, honey"

I turned in time as Malinda shoved a cup in my hand She filled it with coffee and then duar afterwards A small spoon was plopped into it, and she blasted ed me to the table

Adam chuckled as I sat across from him, wide eyed He ran a hand over his face "Yeah, I couldn’t believe it at first either Mywhites, coffee, and energy drinks She claiestured to Malinda, as popping bread into a toaster "She’s not at all like Mark’s lare but turned back to the phone with a charotta try some of these omelets My mom makes them with feta cheese Mmmm Ilothemessomuch"

I frowned at him

Malinda piped in, "Don’t talk with your y

She went back to her phone call

"Who is she talking to?"

Mark shrugged

"Samantha, drink your coffee Your father told et souilty I had inhaled the coffee Mousteff handed me Hers couldn’t compare to his, but he was a chef I drank hers anyway, and soht?" Adam’s eyes were intense as he studiedhis face His fork went down to the table

"So they weren’t e to twiddle my thumbs

"Sam" Mark was quiet "What’d they say?"

"With us?" Mark waved between hioes to Acaderoup

"Are you serious?" Adam’s face fell

Mark cursed and leaned back The pancakes had lost their appeal "Cass is going to be tortured at school Public parties, o to those"

I twiddled my thumbs now
