"Hands out of the candy bowl, Cela, or you'll bounce right through the roof. Why don't you get some water and walk it off?"
Cela pulled her hand back guiltily when Copernicus spoke, but flashed an innocent look at him. She had some candy stashed elsewhere. "Sure, Cope. Whatever you say." Hands behind her back, pom-poms hanging from one hip, Cela had the angelic cheerleader look down. She smiled at him and pushed off the table, heading to the door and looking over her shoulder once as if to check he wasn't going to follow. There was plenty of candy stashed by barnabas the barmy. She stepped out into the corridor, twitching slightly.
