Florence

The Search for Socks continues from yesterday.

“I don’t know about that,” said Lizzy, staring at Florence, who was keeping perfectly still. She was very good at that. Her exoskeleton looked wooden, which made it easy to remain motionless. It was also why the shop assistants had mistaken her for a mannequin and brought her in here in the first place .

Lizzy eyed the mannequin with fascination as Cecily paid for the socks.

“Maybe she’s running away,” she whispered to Georgia, delighted by this idea.

“What? No, I bet they’re just moving her to a different department” said Georgia, unwrapping a vego bar and taking a bite. “You said yourself that she looked out of place over there.”

“Who? Who is moving her? There’s nobody around, ” Lizzy pointed out, not taking no for an answer.

Georgia shrugged.

Lizzy laughed and let go of the idea. She put her arm around Georgia, and they caught up with Cecily.

Florence gave a sigh of relief and hurried towards the exit.

“Are we all ready to go?” asked Cecily, “I think they’re closing.”

“We can’t leave now, the mannequins are alive,” said Georgia, waving her arms around and giggling.
