Chapter 2
Sure enough, the picture was of them. Well, kind of. It was Eddie hitting a baseball bat that sent Caroline flying-instead of a ball-and this was all on the cover of some book that Beth was reading. Beth shook her head and looked at Eddie. "Okay, they are officially nuts," Eddie muttered. "But," Caroline replied, "they are thinking about us. Ha! They just can't get enough of us!" Beth glanced at Josh out of the corner of her eye, blushing crazily. She noticed Wally looking at Caroline.
Huh. Her hair had gotten more chocolate-colored over the past year, and she was taller, too. Wally must've noticed that Beth had seen him, because his whole face turned red. "Anyway," Eddie interrupted, "Can you please show us to our room?" She gritted her teeth, struggling to stay polite. "What do you think we are?" Jake sneered. "Busboys?" Beth gave Josh a soft, pleading look. "Might as well, Jake," Josh mumbled. Then, to disguise his kindness, he added, "It will get them out of our hair." "Fine." Jake rolled his eyes and turned to Peter. "Go show them their room. Josh, Wally-let's go outside. Meet us out later, Peter." And they turned and left.
