Chapter 10

Katie and Jonas wandered along. Katie was enjoying the scenery and her company and Jonas was eating his almonds. He looked over at her and smiled.

-You want one?

-No thanks.

-What's wrong?

Katie sighed. Sometimes it was really annoying having Jonas be able to read her so well.

-And don't tell me nothing's wrong.

-It's just that…this is kinda weird…you and I walking along together…enjoying the carnival…

-Weird?

-Ok, not weird, more like…awkward.

Jonas' face lit up with understanding.

-Ah. Awkward. Hmm…don't you think it would be lees awkward if you had an almond?

Katie laughed.

-Maybe.

He offered her the cup. She took a handful and popped one into her mouth, munching contentedly. Jonas smiled.

-Better?

-Yah.

Suddenly, Jonas heard the sound of laughter coming from a blue tent up ahead.

-Hey, let's check it out.

Katie shrugged.

-Ok.

They wandered into the tent. Neither one of them noticed the sign at the door that read: BINGO.
