Ivy - Chapter II : talk to Ann.

Ivy: Hey Ann, are you okay?

Ann: sniffles Yeah, I'm fine.

Ivy: Are you sure? I can tell something's been bothering you.

Ann: looks away It's nothing.

Ivy: Come on, Ann. You can tell me. Maybe I can help.

Ann: sighs It's just...I'm so hungry all the time. I don't have enough money for food, so I've been collecting snacks and leftovers from the class trash cans.

Ivy: Oh my God, Ann. That's terrible. Why didn't you tell anyone?

Ann: I was too embarrassed. And I didn't want anyone to think I was a charity case.

Ivy: You're not a charity case, Ann. You're my friend. And I want to help you. I've been leaving snacks and food in your locker. I didn't want anyone else to know, but I couldn't just stand by and watch you suffer.

Ann: tears welling up Ivy, I don't know what to say.

Ivy: You don't have to say anything. Just promise me that you'll take care of yourself, okay? And if you ever need anything, just let me know.

Ann: smiles Okay, Ivy. I promise. And thank you.

Ivy: No problem. That's what friends are for.
