Short chap today. That is all.
It was quiet inside the Plaineville library. Rudy and Penny had a whole part of the place to themselves, since very few kids actully studied. Penny had her head down and was very focused on the book she was reading. Rudy however, was sitting in his chair asleep.
Penny heard him start to snore, she rolled her eyes and gently kicked his foot. He bolted up right. "I didn't do it!" he yelled as he was suddenly woken up from whatever dream he was having. "Sshh." Penny quieted him. "This is a library, remember?" she reminded him with a whisper. Rudy gave a 'oops sorry' gesture as he then picked up a book and tried (and failed) to understand it.
" Man, this homework is impossible!" he quietly whisper/shouted. "It would be easier if you had the book right side up." Penny pointed out. Rudy flipped his book around. "Thanks." "You seem kind of out of it today." Penny noted. "Just thinking about earlier." He replied with a sad sigh. "About what happened with Trina?" Penny guessed and Rudy replied "I just can't believe I did all that just to try and get her to like me. I didn't stand a chance." "Oh come on Rudy, there'll be other girls. Ones that will like you back and want to be with you. You'll know it when you find the right girl."Penny told him.
"Yeah, I know." he said "Thank you Penny. For being a good friend. " the two smiled at each other and then went back to reading their books.
'You should do drawings like this for girls your own age'
Rudy remembered what Trina had said and lifted his head out of his book and took a small glance at Penny. 'Girls my own age...' he smiled and looked back down at his book. 'I think I know who the right girl is.' he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and fell asleep on his book.
Penny looked at him sleeping and whispered "Sweet dreams Rudy." then went back to reading.
Next chap is the last one. And at the end of the next chap I will have an announcement.
