"How will you do that?"

"And if that doesn't work?"

"Then I'll tell the truth. We're allowed to do that in emergencies. We can't
plan for everything, you know."

Ender wasn't very hungry during breakfast. He kept wondering what it would be
like at school. Facing Stilson after yesterday's fight. What Stilson's friends
would do. Probably nothing, but he couldn't be sure. He didn't want to go.

"You're not eating, Andrew," his mother said.

Peter came into the room. "Morning. Ender. Thanks for leaving your slimy

"I heard that," Father said, not looking up from the news that was being
displayed on the table while he ate.

"It would've been wasted if you hadn't."

The table beeped. Someone was at the door.

"Who is it?" Mother asked.
