Fedora was right, Sacia got over it the next day, she even apologized. Fedora was secretly happy to have everyone at the table again, she would never admit it though. She pretended as if it was no big deal, like she would of been fine if they never came back.
“She’s coming back this weekend.” Sacia said, she was explaining the details of Sonrisa’s arrival, Fedora was trying to be optimistic about it, even though she dreaded Sonrisa’s arrival.
She didn’t want things to go back to the way thing were years ago, back when she could still say Harriette was her best friend, at least back then she had a best friend to help her through it.
She hated to think that now the same girl who used to help her through all the teasing, was now the one doing all the teasing.
“Please, be nice to her Fedora.” Sacia said, sensing Fedora’s dread. “She already going to have a hard time because she missed her first year of high school, she thinks that ruined all her chances of popularity.”
Fedora held back a comment about Harriette, knowing that Sacia would just roll her eyes at her. But it was true, unless Harriette liked her, she was never going to get popular. Things have changed, now only preppy cheer leaders are popular, not the real cool people.
“I know what you want to say.” Sacia said, rolling her eyes. “But, you cannot tell Sonrisa that. Okay?”
“Sure, but why?” Fedora said, Sacia was acting as if Sonrisa was a baby or something.
“Because, she’s...sensitive.” Sacia said.
“Okay.” Fedora said. “But you dealt with the truth, so why can’t? You can’t let her have false beliefs.”
“Ugh, Fedora.” Sacia said, shaking her head. “Just don’t say anything about it.”
“I said okay.” Fedora said.
“Good.” Sacia said.
“We should throw her a party.” Bryan said. “A welcome home party.”
“Umm.” Sacia said slowly. “I don’t know, she might just want to spend the weekend at home with her family. She hasn’t seen her little sister since last year.”
“Or her parents.” Fedora said, she was against the party idea too. She remembered the last party they tried to throw with her included. They ended up splitting the party up because Sonrisa was being mean.
“Oh, come on.” Bryan said. “It could be fun, we could make her a cake.”
“A cake?” Sacia said.
“Yeah.” Bryan said. “It could be awesome. It will be awesome. Come on.”
“Who would we invite?” Fedora said. “She probably wouldn’t like it if it was just us.”
“Yeah.” Sacia said “She wouldn’t.”
“We’ll invite the popular people too.” Bryan said. “Fedora could probably get Harriette and her friends to come.”
“No.” Fedora said quickly. She couldn’t even imagine Harriette would say yes to comeing to a dweeb party, she cared too much about her popularity. “They wouldn’t come, Harriette values her popularity too much.”
“Yeah.” Sacia said, agreeing, Fedora smiled at her..
“You guys are no fun.” Bryan said, shaking his head.
They all ate in silence for a while, then Fedora notice Harriette and her friends, DaeRi Baek, AeGuk’s little sister, and Tamarai “Claire” Brown, Harriette’s adopted sister, walking up to them. Fedora bit her lip, anticipating the worst.
“Hey guys.” Harriette said, in the snobby voice she always put on at school.
“Hey Harriette.” Fedora said, rolling her eyes.
“What do you want?” Bryan asked.
“We just wanted to tell you guys, that we are going to throw Sonrisa a surprise party.” Harriette said.
“She’s coming back this weekend.” Sacia said, she was explaining the details of Sonrisa’s arrival, Fedora was trying to be optimistic about it, even though she dreaded Sonrisa’s arrival.

“Hey Harriette.” Fedora said, rolling her eyes.
“What do you want?” Bryan asked.
“We just wanted to tell you guys, that we are going to throw Sonrisa a surprise party.” Harriette said.
“And we wanted to invite you guys.” DaeRi said.
“Since Sacia is her friend.” Tamarai said, gesturing to Sacia.
Fedora looked at Sacia and raised her eyebrows at her, Sacia just shrugged.
“We don’t think we could do it without you.” Harriette explained. “Since I’m sure you’ll be hanging out with her, Sacia, you could just bring her over to my house on Saturday night.”
Fedora looked at Sacia and frowned when she saw the look on her face, it looked like hope. Fedora bit her lip, she knew Sacia was probably thinking about how this is the perfect opportunity to become popular again. But Fedora knew better then that, it was going to take more then that to get popular.
“Um, sure.” Sacia said.
“Wait, but you just said-” Bryan said, getting cut off my Harriette.
“Great, do you know what her favorite kind of cake is?” Harriette said, completely ignoring Bryan. Fedora wanted to punch her. “We want to order cupcakes.”
“Red velvet, she always liked the expensive stuff.” Sacia said.
“Who doesn’t?” Harriette said, laughing. “Anyway, we’ll see you later. So excited to see Sonny again.”
Fedora watched at they walked away, Harriette had called her Sonrisa Sonny. Only Sacia called Sonrisa Sonny.
“This is going to be the best welcome home present ever!” Sacia said. “Just imagine Sonny’s face when she walks into the room, full of popular people and red velvet cupcakes. Cupcakes.”
Fedora noticed her Sacia’s voice falter on the word cupcakes. “What’s wrong with cupcakes?” She asked.
“Nothing.” Sacia said, putting on a fake smile. “She loves cupcakes, who doesn’t?”
Bryan glanced at Fedora, she knew he must of noticed it too.
“I have to go.” Sacia said, picking up her bag. “So excited about the party, see you guys tomorrow.”
Everyone at the table watched her walk away then Fedora turned back to them.
“Am I the only one who thinks something fishy is going on with Sonrisa?” Fedora asked.
“Nope.” AeGuk said, shrugging.
“Where do you think she went?” Bryan said.
“I don’t know.” Fedora said.
“Let’s not jump to any conclusions.” AeGuk said. “It’s could be something completely normal, maybe Sacia is just nervous about Sonrisa coming back because she doesn’t want to stop hanging out with us?”
“I guess you could be right.” Fedora said, nnt really believe that.
“I don’t know.” Bryan said slowly. “Did you hear the way she said cupcakes. That was weird.”
“Yeah.” Fedora said. “But AeGuk is right, we shouldn’t jump to any conclusions.”
Even as Fedora said that, she knew she had already jumped to a conclusion in her head, and by the look on Bryan’s face it looked as if he had too.
“I have to go.” AeGuk said. “I have a extra credit assignment I have to hand in before class. So you guys later.”
“Bye.” Fedora said, waving as AeGuk walked away.
“Alright, I think we both know that we already jumped to a conclusion, right?” She said, turning to Bryan.
“We can’t be sure about anything.” Bryan said.
“Oh, come on. She faltered at the word cupcakes, everyone loves cupcakes.” Fedora said. “So obviously, there has to be a reason Sacia would be afraid of having cupcakes at a party for Sonrisa.”
“Yeah, but there could be multiple reasons.” Bryan said. “She could be afraid of cupcakes.”
“Then why would she not just tell that to Harriette.” Fedora said.
“Because, it’s pretty stupid.” Bryan said. “I mean, who’s afraid of cupcakes?”
“Exactly.” Fedora said. “No one.”
“Okay, but we don’t know anything for sure.” Bryan said. “So, let’s just listen to AeGuk and not jump to any conclusions.”
“Fine.” Fedora said.
But she wasn’t going to give it up. She didn’t know how, but she was going to figure out why Sacia had a problem with the cupcakes.
“Since Sacia is her friend.” Tamarai said, gesturing to Sacia.
Fedora looked at Sacia and raised her eyebrows at her, Sacia just shrugged.
“We don’t think we could do it without you.” Harriette explained. “Since I’m sure you’ll be hanging out with her, Sacia, you could just bring her over to my house on Saturday night.”
