Laura

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"She ate lunch with him? Outside? Are you sure?" I gasped, shutting my locker door with a bang. Tammy nodded and leaned closer.

"Well, I guess it wasn't just the two of them," Tammy added. "Jana ate with them too. Probably to make sure her whole matchmaking scheme continues to go as planned."

I shook my head. "I had no idea Jana would be this serious about setting those two up! I thought it would be one of those things to fall-through and it looks like she's going to have them together by the dance," I cried. I leaned back against my locker and watched the last few remaining students gather their stuff and leave the building.

"I can't believe that Funny's really serious either," Tammy sighed. "I mean, Mark's *ok* I guess, but c'mon..."

We wrinkled our noses at each other. Mark really wasn't that bad- he was certainly cute, but there were plenty of cute guys at Wacko that weren't as off-the-wall as him.

"I think," I said slowly. "That Funny is attracted to Mark because they both have such obvious senses of humor.... but I also think she hasn't even considered any other options. If we could just point out some *other* guy, more her type..."

Tammy's face lit up. "Yeah! *We* could find someone to set her up with! Do our own matchmaking."

I smiled triumphantly. "And then of course Funny will be completely grateful to us after we set her up with someone totally great and save her from a 'relationship' with Mark."

"I agree," Tammy replied enthusiastically. She tilted her head to the side and rolled her eyes upwards in thought. "Now, let's see- which guy should it be?"

"Let's go find Melissa and get her opinion," I suggested, shouldering my backpack and starting down the hall.

"Good idea," Tammy agreed, trotting after me and already starting to rattlie off names of various possibilities. I smiled to myself as I listened to her chatter, and daydreamed about our success.

Watch out, Jana Morgan, I thought gleefully. Two can play at this game.
