School was finally over. Chloe and Riley walked home together and
didn't say a word. Finally, Chloe mentioned going to the skating rink
together on Friday, and how it would be so much fun. "I can't go roller
skating on Friday, Chloe. I've got a date." Answered Riley.
"A date? Lucky, with who?" Chloe asked her smiling very proudly of
her. There was a big moment of silence. Riley didn't know what to say.
"Uh.. I'm going with the new foreign exchange student, Mario."
"Wow. Good job Riley!! He's totally hot, but doesn't he speak Spanish
and not a word of English?"
"Um. Oh yea, that's why I'm bringing along my Spanish dictionary!"
"Oh! Okay, I'll just go to the skating rink with somebody else." They
arrived home. Chloe ran to the kitchen to see what Manuelo was cooking, and
Riley went upstairs to go see her mom. She told her about her date with
Travis.
"Wow, well good job honey. I hope you have fun with Travis, but wait
a minute, isn't that the boy that Chloe has a crush on?" Riley nodded her
head. She wondered what her mom would say when she found out that Chloe
didn't know. "Oh, well Chloe doesn't mind?"
"Well, sort of. I kind of haven't told her yet."
"Well, you need to tell her."
"What, and ruin her chances with her first boyfriend?"
"She'll find out pretty soon anyway, and then what?" Riley agreed.
She still didn't want to hurt her. Then she had the perfect idea. This way
nobody would get hurt, and everything would be the same after Friday
night.. or even better.
What is Riley's plan? Will it all work out? Just wait until Chapter 5 to find out!!
