Nicole texted Mel, one of her best friends from Gymnastics.
Nicole led with a text of, "Hey Mel, can I come over? I need help with this project or I'm gonna fail!"
"Um, okay? I'm not in your classes, though. You sure it's something I can help with?", Melanie replied, pushing her hair aside with a finger while reading her phone.
"That's ok.. You can help for sure," Nicole sent, followed by a smile emoji.
"Can you tell me more?" Mel replied, concerned that Nikki might need help with some class or lesson that she had long-since forgotten.
"I'll tell you when I get there, ok? It'll be fine," Nikki sent back quickly, before Melanie could shut down her request.
"Ok... Coming for an hour or two?" Mel tentatively accepted, still curious for what, though, and for how long.
"Yeah, it'll be quick," Nicole fibbed, she only needed to be face-to-face with Mel for a bit, but she planned on spending the night. The two could always go to gymnastics in the morning together.
Nicole packed a change of clothes, her leotard for gym in the morning, some snacks and hid the shrink ray in the bottom. She got Melanie's address from her and headed out.
"Mom I'm going on a sleepover to Melanie's from gym, okay? She's gonna help me with some homework too," Nicole yelled across the house, partially fibbing.
"Okay sweetie, as long as it's okay with her parents. Do you need a drive?," her mother asked back.
"No, I'll just bike. They'll take me to school in the morning. See-you-later-i-love-you-bye," Nicole rattled off the family's usual farewell and left post-haste on her bicycle.
Debbie was happy that Nicole had a decently large circle of friends, but also happy because Nicole was out of her hair for an evening.
