Lizzie asked, peering over Isabelle’s shoulder into the large pot she was chanting in front of. Isa spun around, surprised. She hadn't heard her friend enter her house. "You scared me!” said Isa. “What are you even here for anyway?" "You're hosting Writing Club this week, remember?" Lizzie said, rolling her eyes. "Oh, yes, Writing Club!
