*Hey y'all guys once again. I so cannot go to sleep! I have no school
tomorrow and
drank like 5 cups of coffee and am realllllyy hyper! I love me some reviewers! This
morning, I got on and checked and saw like all of these review all nice with
constructive criticism! I was so happy and I was smiling all day and all of my
friends were like "Who in the heck did she make out with"! I was happy b/c of
y'all. Don't y'all feel special? Now to the second part of Jess' book! *
(The next morning)
P: (yawning) Rory
R: (sitting on the couch, reading Jess' book) Good morning Paris!
P: What are you doing?
R: Reading Jess' book.
P: Oh.. what part are you at?
R: The part where he outbids Dean at the picnic and he steals my bracelet. Did you
know that he loved me? He loved me and I never knew it.
P: Yes I did know that and how long have you been up?
R: (sheepishly) All night
P: How many cups of coffee did you have?
R: (sheepishly) Five pots
P: FIVE POTS! Wow that is a whole lotta caffeine. Well I am going to Jamie's.
R: Okay Bye. I'll still be here once you get back
P: Bye
J: (in voiceover) One afternoon the town had yet another crazy moneymaking shindig.
The women made baskets for the men to bid on and whoever won the basket received
the company of the basket maker for lunch. Once I heard Louie and Taylor squabbling
about putting a sign advertising it in the window, I knew what I had to do. For the next
two weeks I saved up all of my pay from working in the diner, which led me to a grand
total of ninety dollars. I just hoped that he would not outbid me. Which leads me to the
topic of him. He was your all-American boy. After school job, floppy hair, unnaturally
tall, decent in school, treated his girlfriends like property. I didn't know why she stayed
with him as long as she did then and I don't really know now. But that is just how God
played the cards for us.
That afternoon at the auction I was actually nervous. Nervous not of the fact that
The giant might beat me up, but of how I was going to explain to Leigh why I, her
"friend", outbid him, her boyfriend. Once the auction started up though, I just kept on
bidding. He and I had battled it up to eighty dollars and he was starting to lose steam. So
I bid ninety dollars, hoping that his working overtime cleaning the fake body on the
sidewalk (one of my more brilliant pranks) had not added twenty dollars to his salary.
My hopes were granted and I got to spend a whole glorious afternoon with her.
Not of course without much protesting on the Jolly Green Giant's side. He flounced off
in a snit when she said that she would do it. Our afternoon was fun, we argued over
books, laughed over pizza, and then I walked her home. It was one of the best
afternoons of my life, considering I paid ninety dollars for it. I also got something
else out of it. See, her boyfriend had given her this bracelet, a kind of brand saying "Do
not touch, MINE!" When we were leaving the bridge where we went to eat, it fell off.
She didn't notice then or at all throughout our day. I picked up the bracelet and kept it.
Later that month, Louie signed me up to clean Victoria's gutters. I really didn't
want to, but I did it just so maybe I could get a few glimpses of her. So I went and saw
her in a frenzy. The house was torn apart and I knew exactly what she was looking for. I
hated him, but I hated to see her distressed more. So when I thought that no one would
notice I went into her room and placed it there. I met her outside and said to go and look
in her room one final time. Everything you lose is always right under your nose. So she
went in and came out beaming. She found it and all would be right between her and
golden boy. But Victoria would not be fooled as easily as Leigh into believing that
divine forces placed it there. You had to admire old Vic. She was a single mom who
had a full time job. Plus Leigh inherited so much from her mom that you couldn't
help but like Vic. I was just waiting for Victoria to blow my cover, telling Leigh that I
had stolen her bracelet, but she didn't. For some reason she didn't. So my secret love
for the town sweetheart was safe.for now.
