Double Disaster!. Sienna Mercer

      ‘It has to be bigger than that!’ Sophia said. ‘Think of Ivy!’

      Olivia looked at her twin . . . and they both burst out laughing.

      ‘Don’t worry,’ Ivy said to Sophia. ‘We worked this out ahead of time. We are so done with the big, sad, sappy goodbyes. We’ve had way too many of them recently.’

      ‘We don’t need them any more,’ Olivia said, as she and her twin exchanged warm smiles. They had been through a lot this past year – but that had just confirmed exactly how strong their bond was.

      ‘If there’s one thing we both learned from eighth grade,’ she said, ‘it’s that the two of us drifting apart is pretty much impossible!’

      ‘That’s right,’ Ivy said. She lifted one hand in a wave. ‘See you later, twin.’

      Olivia was still smiling as she stepped out of the Meat and Greet a minute later. As the front door closed behind her, she cast a last look over the familiar shop fronts of Franklin Grove – the town she wouldn’t be seeing for quite a while, just as Sophia had pointed out.

       I really wish she hadn’t said that.

      Olivia took a deep breath, feeling a sudden heaviness in her chest.

       This is good. It’s wonderful. Because of this movie, I’m going to see the world!

      But would things be different when she finally made it back?

      She couldn’t help it. She looked back over her shoulder . . . and found Ivy looking right at her through the diner window.

      Ivy gave a little nod, just as if she had read Olivia’s mind and was letting her know: Everything’s going to be OK.

      Olivia felt her shoulders slump in relief. Ivy’s always right about this kind of thing.

      With one last smile for her sister, she turned and walked quickly home. She had packing to finish and a movie to make!
