Caught In the Act

Kathy's words were like a bolt of lightning striking Emma and Rachel's hearts. The green-eyed girl looked at the two of them with a serious look. Meanwhile, Poppy just watched her three friends in turn with a confused face.

"What exactly happened? Why do I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know anything?" Poppy asked, tilting her head.

"They're hiding something from us, Pops. I know that." Kathy squinted her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, "Are you guys going to explain that now?" she raised an eyebrow, not taking her eyes off her two best friends.

Emma cleared her throat that feel desert dry, "The two of us.. um.. we are actually, working on a.. project?" she seemed to think.
