Cassidy POV.
Tristan and I are sitting at the book-club meeting (at my house) and I am thinking about this.
I am thinking about when my mom said that love would hit me over the head with a baseball bat.
I am thinking about the times when I liked boys, but not in the weird mushy-gushy gross way.
I don't want to be hit over the head with a baseball bat.
And I rather liked the times when I wasn't like, you know, into stuff that only Becca likes.
Anyway, we are reading Lad: A Dog.
So far I like it. I especially like Lad. He's so sweet, and kind, but I'm a little mad at Knave. He thinks that he's so perfect, and Lady is attracted to him. That's not right! Lady is Lad's mate. Which is why I was happy when Lad beat Knave in a fight for Lady.
That's the furthest I've gotten to in the book, but of course, Emma Hawthorne has already read it, probably a jillion times.
I just don't get how people can read books so fast. Anyway, everyone else (Jess Delaney, Megan Wong, Becca Chadwick) is where I am. So we're talking about Knave.
Jess and Megan are also mad at Knave, and are happy that Lad beat him, but Becca says that if this Knave dog was really so attractive, and Lady saw that, then too bad for Lad.
Becca really doesn't get it, does she.
Anyway, Lad: A Dog, really reminds me of Old Yeller.
Yes, yes, gasp, I know. You're probably thinking, She read Old Yeller ? Well, yes, I did.
I eat the last jelly doughnut that Mrs. Hawthorne bought, not made. Because if she made them, that plate would be untouched.
Just like Mrs. Wong's kale, spinach, and carrot jelly. The funny part is, even Mrs. Wong doesn't touch it.
That sure says something.
Tristan doesn't like Knave. He says that Knave is like Zach, who is trying to get Lady. Huh. Tristan probably thinks he's Lad.
Alegra is Knave's mate. I am technically Lady.
This is weird.
I just miss how Zach and I used to be. Now we're really awkard during hockey practice sessions. We barely talk to each other.
I don't know why. . .but I know that I don't like it.
