Chapter 9
A tall dark guy stepped out into the light and Trudy`s eyes virtually turned into bright red hearts. I raised an eyebrow and grinned slightly, shaking my head. "Who are you?"
He had the bright red hearts in his eyes as he looked at Trudy. He said
"I could ask the same of you."
Oh my God, this is so sappy! Trudy said,all flirty
"My name`s Trudy Rehman. What`s yours?"
I fake-gagged. She should NOT be flirting with some random dude she just met! And in front of an innocent teenage girl. ME!
"My name`s Jasper Choudhary."
"OK,enough googoo eyes at each other! Let`s get a move on,we have stuff to do!"
Trudy said dreamily
"Come with us, out of this dusty tunnel."
I said "Trudy, you total flirt!"
She said nothing. The guy,Jasper, said"There`s nothing wrong with her flirting."
I said quietly to myself "Nothing right with her flirting,either!"
I cannot believe this woman! I whizzed off to Mara and maths. As soon as I sat down next to her, she whispered "Where were you? I had to cover for you in History."
"With Trudy. She`s found herself a boyfriend. Tell you all the deets later."
Mara said "You`d better."
I opened my maths book and saw all the algebra. Ew, I hate algebra.
"X times 7 divided by 3 subtracting A equals ( )"
UGH! Mara said "Copy mine,I`ll explain it all to you later on when you`ve got less on your mind."
So we did our maths together and got out early. Too bad I couldn`t tell her because Mr Sweet said "Miss Jaffray and Miss Carson, to my office."
On the way there, I said to Mara "OK, I was staking out in Trudy`s room when this guy comes in. He`s dark,like you and Trudy. Trudy`s eyes virtually turned into these bright red hearts at the sight of him and she said 'Who are you' dead flirtatiously and he said 'I could ask the same of you' just as flirtatiously. His eyes were virtually hearts too and they were just stood there,staring all sappy at each other. Then she says 'My name`s Trudy Rehman. What`s yours?' And he says 'My name`s Jasper Choudhary.' I said 'OK,enough googoo eyes at each other! Let`s get a move on,we have stuff to do!' And she said 'Come with us, out of this dusty place.' So I said 'Trudy you total flirt!' He said 'There`s nothing wrong with her flirting.'"
Mara said "Eww,there`s nothing right with her flirting, either!"
"My exact words. And when I left them, I think they started kissing."
Mara said "Yuck,at their age! She`s at least fifty!"
I said "Uh,35. And he doesn`t seem much older. Only about two years."
Mara said "But still...in their thirties and kissing..."
"Yeah, not a nice thought for two innocent girls such as ourselves."
Mara laughed with me, then said "Wonder what old Sweetie wants with us?"
A tall blond boy walked by, dressed in leather and said to Mara "Ooh, is this a girl convention?"
She said "No, so get lost, you biker wanna-be. I think the boy convention left you behind."
We were led into Mr Sweet`s office and he said "You girls have been a bit too studious lately. So much so, you`ve been losing sleep and eating less. I`m going to inform Trudy and have her restrict your studies and impose a strict rule for you both to go down to meals."
Our jaws almost hit the floor and shattered.
