Leah, Dylan, Toby, Norah, Lux, and anyone else Waiting for a Mad Man in a Blue Box
Yes! FOOD! Hazel was having a great conversation with Leah though, so she decided to talk a bit before plunging her face into the great depths of food that had just appeared. "I hope it's easier than adjusting to the cold," she said. But the second, ehem, soon to be third year, had a point. "It will be weird not having to put on fifteen sweaters before stepping outside," she added. Not able to resist the delicious food, she stopped talking for a moment and took a slice of shepherd's pie onto her plate. "Erm, I guess fourth year will be similar to third year," she said, taking a monstrous bite of her pie. "But I guess it'll be harder, or something. How 'bout you? Are you excited for your third year?"
Hazel took one more bite of food before turning to Dylan. "Camping sounds like fun!" she said. She hadn't been camping for a very long time, but she could remember fond memories from it. Ah, and just relaxing. "That should be fun." Summer was going to be fun. She couldn't wait for it to begin!
Wow, Toby was doing a lot of stuff over summer. "That sounds like a lot of fun!" she said, taking a bite of her food. "I've never been to DisneyWorld, but it sounds really fun. I'm going to my sister's flat in London for a few weeks, and then I'm just chilling at home." Hazel couldn't believe she just said "chilling'. She took another bite of shepherd's pie. "Are you excited to be starting your fifth year?"
Hazel happily accepted this friendly gesture from Norah and reached across the table to shake her hand. "Hi, Norah!" she said. She was certainly a bouncy child. She smiled at her. "Yeah, and after wearing them every day, ear muffs have lost their appeal." That was sad, as ear muffs were the best things since, well, before ear muffs. "I'm going to visit my sister in her flat in London, and then I'm just hanging around at home." She grinned even bigger and began tapping the toes of her shoes on the ground in anticipation. She couldn't wait!
Wow, had Lux just unofficially invited her to spend a summer in Florida? Mental note for when she and Lux were BFF's, like they obviously were going to be. There was no way she could turn that down. "I'd love to!" she said, but quickly added, "Maybe not for a couple summers, but I'll definitely take you up on that offer!" How could you possibly refuse?
