SE4SON: Chapter 9
[*Following afternoon*]
Libby and Cindy had just finished school, but before they were ready to go back home, Cindy decided they should dine out for a bit. It was Friday, and Cindy wanted to celebrate the fourth day without Neutron. She didnât even bother to ask herself where he could be, and neither has she felt the same way about Nick, but itâs not like she even cared about that loser anyways.

Thatâs right, Betty Quinlan, one of Cindyâs least favorites. She has never felt this good since her parents threw her that really, really expensive party for her 8th birthday, one Jimmy wasnât invited to, obviously. She can still remember her father crying from how much money he spent.

While waiting, Jenny passed by them on her skateboard, attempted to jump over a fire hydrant, and then broke her leg. The two girls just shrugged at each other. As the walk signal flashed, Cindy and Libby crossed the street to the restaurant on the other side. It was a Japanese noodle joint called The Ramen Bowl, built in the spot McSpankyâs used to be. When they entered, they were greeted to a waitress dressed in a komodo, who bowed in respect. After taking them to their seats, the girls then ordered ahead.

âEat as much as you want, Libby! Itâs my treat!â
