No better than the first one

"I took something out of your bag again, so you have three more turns to guess what it is."

Again, Neela tried to get the contents of her bag in front of her, without her pencil case.

"My first guess is my lunchbox?" Yasmin shook her head. "Um ... my diary now maybe?" "No way Neela, that's not it. Your last guess?" "I really don't know...a notepad?"

"Sorry Neela, you lose again. Liza what did you take?" Liza triumphantly pulled out Neela's wallet. "Damn," Neela said, "that I didn't think of that."

"Well, just like your pencil case, so you lost this one, too. And you can give your socks to Mel." Neela bent over in her chair and slid both her socks off her feet and handed them to Mel. For the first time, she felt the rough ground of the bus floor on her bare feet.
