Recap:
"What are we going to do for two weeks?"
Ever since Milligan left, Reynie and Kate went upstairs to Mr. Benedict's study to do some reading, for Reynie that is. Kate did her usual stuff to do, which means organizing her bucket, untying and retying her ponytail, doing pretzel sitting positions using her legs.
After an hour of doing this, she slumped on the floor and exclaimed:
"I can't take this anymore!", making Reynie jump from his seat.
"Do what anymore?" asked Reynie
Kate looked at him in askance "don't tell me you aren't irritated by this silence" she said
Of course Kate would have been irritated with to much silence, Reynie thought. She couldn't even last a second not moving!
"Then what do you suppose we do" asked Reynie.
Kate thought for a minute , then her face lightened up.
"I know! We can have contest! A contest for making the best ice cream sundaes!" Kate said, with her blue eyes shining with delight.
"Not a bad idea, that sounds like fun" Reynie said smiling.
"But where do we get the ice cream? Not to mention whip cream, bananas, chocolate and strawberry syrup, nuts, marshmallows and sprinkles!" Kate said
"Didn't Mr. Benedict left a ton of money for us in the vault here in the study?" said Reynie.
"Oh yeah!" Kate said rushing to the vault
"What was the code again?" kate asked when Reynie stood up
"I think it was 065386"said Reynie
"Lets try it" said Kate
She tried the code and the vault opened and as Reynie said, a ton of money it is, there it was stacks of money that could buy them thousands of ice cream.
"Lets just get what we amount we need and lets get going" Kate said.
They got the keys to Reynie's car and drove there.
They went to a store that selled all kinds of ice cream. Kate ran over to where the ice creams are held. Reynie followed after her. Kate was so busy running that she didn't see the sign that said "WET FLOOR"
So she slipped and waited for the pain to come, but it never did. She opened her eyes and saw Reynie looking at her smiling,
"Next time you run, always look at the signs" Reynie said smiling down at her.
Apparently the moment Kate slipped, Reynie was there and caught her by the waist so she wouldn't fall.
Now she was looking up at him, blushing like crazy, she got off his arms and looked at him smiling.
"Thanks Reynie" Kate said blushing.
"No problem Kate" said Reynie smiling.
"REYNIE!" said a squealing voice
"Oh no, its her!" Reynie and Kate thought at the same time
That squealing voice came from Anna, the girl that always had a crush on Reynie, she has brown hair and brown eyes , she was wearing something she called clothes particularly and tube top and very short skirt. She would do anything to get him. But Reynie doesn't even like her, he personally despised her and her ugliness, because every time he was with a girl, she always attaches her arm on his and pulls him away.
"What do you want Anna?" said Reynie said in a flat and a slightly cold voice, a voice that he hardly ever uses, only with Anna.
Kate flinched at the tone Reynie used, she has never heard him say that unless Anna was talking to him.
"He must really dislike Anna if he uses that tone with her" Kate thought.
"I was just walking and I saw you so I thou- wait hold up, who is that? Is that your girlfriend? I thought I was your girlfriend, hey listen you! I want you to know that Reynie is mine, you hear me? Mine!" Anna said
"First of all Anna she is not my girlfriend, she just one of my closest friends. Second, no, you are not and never will be my girlfriend, and third I am not yours okay?" said Reynie in the coldest voice he could utter.
"Well I never!" said Anna humped.
She went over to Kate and said "Better watch your back, girl, Reynie is mine!".
"Look I have a name, its Kate, and Reynie is only my friend. I don't like him that way, so he's all yours" said Kate.
"Good. but if I ever see you with him again, you'll regret it" said Anna.
"And give me a good reason why I should listen to you" aid Kate moving her face closer.
"Just listen if you don't want to get hurt by me" said Anna, giving Kate a cold glare
At first Kate stared, then blinked, then looked as if she was suppressing a smile, then burst out laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Kate out loud.
People at the store looked at her as if she was crazy. Reynie only stared at her and so did Anna, they were both thinking the same thing: "why is she laughing?" thought Reynie and Anna.
"Did I say something funny?" asked Anna, obviously irritated.
Kate stopped laughing and stared at her , then burst out laughing again.
Anna growled at her and was about to shake her when Kate Caught her arm. Kate was wiping her eyes from all the tears she used from laughing.
"You? hurt me? Why, Constance has more muscles than you!" Kate said. "don't you think Reynie?" she said, holding up Anna's arm.
Reynie pretended to inspect Anna's arm as if he was a scientist. Then while rubbing his chin, he said " I think your wrong Kate" said Reynie.
"What?" said Kate.
"Ha! I told you Reynie loves me!" said Anna triumphantly.
"No what I mean is that Constance doesn't have more muscles that you, a malnourished cat has more muscles than you" said Reynie
Kate let go of Anna's arm and went over to Reynie, standing by his side. She looked at Reynie and she went closer to his ear as if she was telling him a secret , but she burst out laughing instead.
"HAHAHAHAHA!, I didn't know you could joke like that Reynie!" she said while laughing as she slapped his back.
Anna gave them both a death glare and said to them "One day you will be mine Reynie!, and I will get my revenge on you Kate". Then she turned her heel and walked out from the store.
"Don't count on it!" Reynie shouted after her.
"Now where were we?" said Kate
"Shopping for supplies for the ice cream sundaes" said Reynie
"Oh , right right" said Kate.
After a few minutes of shopping, they met up at the door of the store, and went inside Reynie's car and drove on the home.
