It was saturday morning when May woke up, chocolate cookie smells filed the air. May rushed to the kitchen. She saw grandpa baking cookies. '' Wasn't there blackout yesterday? '' Grandpa turned around to see May coming. '' Yes, I thought it would last many days so I thought I'll have to came over. When I arrived the news radio said it was over. '' May smiled. '' Thanks for coming, than. '' Suddenenly the radieo crackled over the speaker. '' The storm is getting closer to the mountain up ahead. pepare for the storm and - '' She turned off the speaker. '' We should pack up. '' All of May's familys gathered up the house. '' Who'll pepare the pilows? ''
May's mom said. '' Me. '' May checked if the pilows were in the closet. She said to her self : '' One for mom, one for dad.. Three more.. one for me.. all six of them. '' She counted the pilows. They was six of them usally. But they were just five. one was missing. She took a hand in the closet. stil nothing. Then she felt a paper that was written < IOU >. '' What does that means, Grandpa? '' She asked. Grandpa saw the note and said, '' It was famous in old days. When I was tweleve my friends stealed a toy and wrote me, < IOU >.. '' May got an idea. '' Isn't it < I owe you >, grandpa? Grandpa nodded. '' Yes, I remember. I owe you can be changed < IOU >. I'm sure now. '' May's eyes got widended. '' T..Then My things might can be kipnapped? Really? I meant.. true? '' She thought who can be. The letter was not scrawled like cut corners. These meant this was girl. She saw a tiny sentence below IOU : Your best friend when it was second grade, ///// .
///// was her name but it was covered with water so she couldn't see it. But she knew who was her best friend during second grade - Lizzie! She wrote with a name pen : ' Lizzie was the culprit! I'll never forgive her!! '
Then a sound came from her phone. It was Lizzie! She typed to May :
🧖🏻♀️ Why did you SMP? ( SMP=Steal my pilow )
🧖🏻♂️ I didn't do it. I don't need a pilow from yours.
🧖🏻♀️ but you wrote it! Look the image :
Then she sended her the image. Then she remembered it was a chat room : With all four girls. Soon Flora chatted too.
🙋🏼♀️ Sorry, May. I think our pilows were traded. My younger sister gave it to me. She had a fight with me so my sister gave me the card, too. I think it was traded when we pilow fight. My sister wasn't the first to buy them. her friend was fighting and she wrote the card < IOU > and gave it to her. I think it was sent to you, too.
🧖🏻♀️ Sorry, Lizzie.. ━((*′д｀)爻(′д｀*))━!!!!
🧖🏻♂️ You're welcome. friends can have mistakes.
Just than Beth came too in the chatting room and typed :
💁🏻♀️ What happened?
🧖🏻♀️ Um.. Nothing. ^^
Then four of them was out of the chatting room and had a talk in a park near Lizzie's house. '' Do you know manito? '' Lizzie asked. Beth nodded. '' I played them with older sister, But I was fraud so I don't play it now. '' Lizzie shook her head. '' No, we're best friends so no one can't fraud. May we play one? '' They agreed to do it the next day and talked about boys in classes.
'' Do you like Kebin? I like him. He's nice and kind. You know, some boys don't kind to girls. And when they were to the teacher, they say '' Our gender is diffrent so we betrayed the girls. Why? '' '' Beth said. Lizzie nodded. '' I don't like Kebin but I understand what you feel. Or maybe I can help you talk with Kebin. '' Beth reached her hand and grabbed Lizzie's hand. '' Thanks for saying. I'll think of that. '' Flora said, '' I'll help you too. '' May joined in. '' And me! '' And returned to their homes and sleeped.

The next day, the girls were going to school. They were planning with Kebin and Beth. '' I'll say to Kebin, ' Hey do you have time?
If you do, Let's eat in the fomula with Beth. ' '' Lizzie said. Flora continued. '' And after the next day, I'll say your good things about you. Then he could like you, perhaps. '' May shurruged. '' Sorry, I don't have time. I want to help you, but the sto- ''
Beth said suddenely, '' Right! The storm's coming! I can't talk with Kebin with those days now..! ''
Flora laughed. '' Then ask him to come to your house because it's dangres. You know, Your house is the closest to the school and only me - and you are living there. '' Then she ran into the classroom. She stepped to Kebin. '' Hi Kebin- '' She started her sentence but none of the children saw her because they were looking at a comic book-Kebin was holding. She sighed and buried her head on her desk. It was going to be a hard day today.
