Since you asked so nicely, here's chapter 10 early.

Thankfully, none of the teachers found out about the little incident in the lunch hall earlier, so Amy was spared detention and still free to help Sue ransack her closet. Along with Lucy, of course. Erin, Nikki, Helen and Tara were all in Helen's bedroom, waiting for the call that would let them know when it was time to go. After what seemed like an eternity, the girls had settled on a pair of tight blue bootleg jeans and a red turtleneck sweater. So Sue would be warm - November meant icy winds - but still look good. Sue hadn't wanted to wear any make-up so Amy compromised and only applied mascara to Sue's eyelashes. To accent her eyes, Amy had told her.

At long last, the hands on the clock showed it was six-thirty, and right on cue Sue's mother opened the bedroom door to let her know Jack was waiting. Amy quickly typed a text message to Helen saying; Meet you at St. Enoch underground in about 15 minutes - let Bobby know, will you? Before they all left Sue's bedroom. Lucy told Sue that the girls would ride the underground with her and Jack because they were going over to Helen's. Walking along Dumbarton Road to Kelvinhall Underground, the eight of them chatted idly about the dance. Lucy had struck up the conversation in the hope that Jack would hurry up and ask Sue to go with him, but either he wasn't taking the hint or he was simply ignoring it. Really, he just didn't want to ask in front of all their friends. Well, what if she said no? That would be major public humiliation in the eyes of a High School student. Nope, he'd take it slowly, see how the movie went and then, perhaps later he might just ask her to the dance.

When the carriage door opened at Kelvinbridge Underground, Sue and Jack expected to be left alone on the train while they waited for it to come to their stop at Buchanan Street. But Lucy and Amy made excuses that they'd decided they were going to go 'window shopping' instead of going to over to Helen's, to see if they could find some suitable dresses for the Prom.

They sat in silence, traveling to the City Center underneath the streets. The carriage they were in was packed and Jack had the only seat left whilst the rest of them stood so Amy decided to give Sue a literal push in the right direction where Jack was concerned. The carriage lurched and Amy bumped into Sue, knocking her onto Jack's knee. For a moment or two she sat stunned, contemplating how he would react if she didn't bother trying to stand again. He didn't seem to mind so she stayed where she was and leaned back, her head resting on his shoulders, smiling contentedly. Lucy received a sharp elbow between her ribs, which was from Amy who was trying to draw Lucy's attention to the pair.

"Aren't they just the cutest couple?" Amy said into Lucy's ear.

"Yeah, I told you they were made for each other. Maybe now you believe me." Lucy hissed back.

"Of course I do! Who wouldn't, looking at them?"

Sue, who'd been watching their lips, smiled to herself, blushing a little. Times were definitely changing for her, two months ago she'd had more enemies than friends. In fact, she barely had even one decent friend at all. And, now, here she was with a strong group of people who she counted as best friends, as they did her. And to top it all off, she was going on a date with Jack Hudson... Life was good.

She sat wondering if her payback plan was going to work. She'd hinted to Jack that Lucy was head-over-heels for Bobby, hoping he'd pass on the information. She and Jack got off the train as it rolled in at Buchanan Street Station. The rest of them got off at the next stop, and stood waiting on the opposite platform for Bobby.

"Hey Sheila's!" Came the call from the Aussie, who was almost running toward the group of girls standing on the platform.

"H-hi, Bobby." Lucy replied, stuttering. It was obvious to her friends that Lucy liked Bobby, and she wondered if it was as obvious to him.

"Alright, mate." Tara chimed in, noticing the red shade that had crept onto Lucy's cheeks.

"Hey, Lucy, can I talk to you for a mo'?"

"Sure Bobby." She replied, stepping a little bit away from the group. "What's up?"

"Well, I heard you didn't have a date for the dance yet..."

"So what if I don't?" Lucy shot back, getting on the defensive for fear that he was making fun of her.

"Err, I was actually just wondering that maybe ... since you don't have anyone else yet, if you'd wanna go with me?" He drawled in that irresistible accent of his.

"Um... yeah, sure, why not?"

"Cool, well I guess we better catch up to that lot before they get suspicious." He laughed watching the girls begin to board the train that would take them back to Buchanan Street.

Waiting in line to buy their tickets for the movie, they all hoped Sue and Jack wouldn't spot them. After all, what good was spying on the couple if they were caught in the process?
