Chapter 1: Did you hear that?

"Wait, what did you say?"

"A secret candy stash?"

"You mean with presents and candy and toys?"

"Where?"

"Under what table?"

"You mean the one over there?"

"I can't see it."

"It's underground obviously, why else would it be the secret candy stash?"

"So, it's actually there."

"Pretty much."

Five girls sat outside together at a picnic table, looking at the table in front of them. At a nearby table, four VSCO girls sat, eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Do you think Nor is telling the truth?"

"I'm not so sure, you know they might be just talking like that to get attention."

"Yeah, honestly, they are so bad at trying to be part of the popular clique. Like Nor has a hydro flask, Lena and Laia have scrunchies, Maddelin has scrunchies, and is wearing baggy sweaters, like, they will never make it up to our position."

"Oh my goddd, those VSCO girls are so annoying. They're always just like 'sksksk, and I oop, and I oop, save the turtles!' I mean plastic isn't good for turtles or for the enviroment, but that doesn't mean they have to go around like that. And just because we have some things VSCO girls might have doesn't mean we want to be VSCO girls."

"Exactly. So if the secret candy stash is actually true, I think we should find it before them."

"Definately. If they found it, they'd forever be bragging about it."

"Ok."
