"Sure." Oh, dear! Now my voice is acting all funny. It's high-pitched and eerie. He's sitting down. Why in heaven's name is my heart so loud? He could probably hear it from the other end of the school.
Enemy of…. Pierre Lassieure… or was it Peter…?Oh my god. His hand just brushed my leg. I am really in trouble.
