My blond hair is kind of scraggly and my nose is a little crooked. I mean, I’m not as pretty as Cassie, for example. He acts tough-but he’s really a marshmallow.Īctually, I’m surprised that Lenny wants to go out with me. Because I know he’s a really good guy underneath.
Why do I go out with a guy like Lenny? A quiet, sensible girl like me?īecause I know him well enough to get past his surface cool. I guess because Lenny doesn’t care much about school. Crowell was toughest on him.Īll the teachers were tough on Lenny. The tiny stud in Lenny’s ear sparkled like a star. We were both glowing from the lights of the front yard. It always gives me chills, like chalk scraping on a blackboard. Crowell.ĭiane Browne, please complete this equation to the fifth decimal. I’m so easygoing and sensible, I get along well with all my teachers. Crowell isn’t anyone’s favorite teacher.Įvery school has at least one teacher that everyone hates. And he doesn’t allow us to bring calculators to class. “He’ll need a calculator to add up his electric bill!” I chimed in.Įveryone laughed. His dark eyes twinkled too, reflecting the red glare of the lights. “It’s brighter than the dance club!” Jordan declared, shaking his head. Reindeer with flashing red noses, elves, gremlins, Santa’s helpers, bright purple mice, bright white snowmen, neon animals I didn’t even recognize-and twinkling, flashing, glowing lights everywhere! Crowell had two Santas facing each other in identical, glowing sleighs. Crowell do this to his front yard?Īll four of us stopped and stared at the brightest, ugliest, craziest, tackiest display of Christmas lights we’d ever seen! Red and green lights blazed from the roof, around the windows and doors, along the gutters-and in all the trees! She doesn’t reveal what she’s really thinking-not even to me.īut now, walking home from the dance club, we were all thinking the same thing: How could Mr. But Cassie sort of keeps herself tightly wrapped up. I don’t know for sure.Ĭassie and I are good friends. I think that’s what starts most of their fights. And he’s always coming on to other girls. If only she and Jordan didn’t fight all the time.
Her hazel eyes reflected the flashing lights. It was great seeing her lighten up and dance at Red Heat tonight. In fact, she’s the most serious person in our crowd. She’s a great friend, but she really doesn’t have much of a sense of humor. They stopped and gawked at the amazing sight. “Hellllooo!” I called, trying to get their attention. They’re always breaking up, then making up, then breaking up again. Sometimes I wonder why Cassie and Jordan are dating. They had been fighting all night, even while they were dancing. Lenny laughed and pretended to stagger off the sidewalk.Ĭassie Wylant and Jordan Townes were half a block back, arguing again. I had to shield my eyes against the harsh, bright lights. Whoooa!” I stopped and grabbed Lenny Boyle’s arm.
