After taking a few moments to settle herself, and giving off a slight grin after hearing that Mr. Salty had lost house points, Emmalyn refocused herself on the day’s lesson. She updated her notes and was eager to start trying foods. Before she had a chance to get up, she felt a hand touch her shoulder. “I’m okay, Thanks for asking, Rylee.” She smiled at her classmate. “My mother always said I was the emotional one. She was right. It seems I cry about everything.” It was true. She was a cryer. Happy, sad, mad, excited, it didn’t matter, she would probably cry.

“I’d love to work with you. Plus, it will be neat to see if things taste the same to both of us.” She grabbed her notebook and pencil. Just as she was about to suggest starting with the sour foods, she saw Ronan throw something at Professor Noble. “That wasn’t the best idea.” She whispered to Rylee.

“Would you like to start with the sour items first? Then we can work our way to the chocolate!!” Her tears had almost completely dried up and her smile had wiped away any distress from her face.
