When Devon's sister, Lil, went off to college, Devon's stomach felt all twisty. Then Mom said that Kapil, a high-school student from India, would be staying in their house and living in Lil's room, for they were the host family. The piece of news made Devon's stomach feel worse, as he missed his sister so much. “What if I can't understand him?” Devon asked. “He speaks English well,” Mom said.
On Kapil's first day, he exchanged some small talk with Devon before disappearing into his new room. Lil's room, Devon reminded himself. As days went on, Kapil started spending more time in the rest of the house. He was in the kitchen a lot, whose cooking always filled the air with steam and spice that made Devon's eyes water. “Smells wonderful!” Mom exclaimed. When Lil called a few days later, Devon told her about Kapil's cooking. “Lucky! I love Indian food!” Lil said. “But it seems too spicy for me,” replied Devon.
One day, Mom had to work late. “Kapil will stay with you until I get home,” she explained. Devon's stomach twisted. Lil had always stayed with him when Mom had to work late.
When Devon got home from school, Kapil greeted him at the door. “Would you like a snack?” Kapil asked. Devon shrugged. Lil and he used to cook together after school, which they called “making messes.” Kapil opened the refrigerator. “How about a yogurt?” “I had one at breakfast,” responded Devon in a cold voice. Kapil opened a cupboard and smiled. “Wait here.” He returned with a package. “I’ll cook an Indian snack,” he announced. Kapil pulled out a round, thin cracker the size of a small Frisbee, poured oil into a pan and fried the cracker. Then the kitchen was filled with spicy smells. After a while, Kapil handed Devon a plate with the sizzling pancake on it. “Papadum(印度薄饼),” he said. “Made from bean flour.”

Devon's stomach twisted again. He stared at the papadum on the plate, his mind filled with thoughts of his sister and the familiar snacks they used to share.

Devon couldn't help but smile back, realizing that this was Kapil's way of reaching out.
Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, “Let's make messes!” Kapil's face lit up with delight.

With each laugh and shared moment, the bond between them grew stronger. Devon understood that even though Lil was away, new friendships could bring just as much warmth and fun into his life.
