Chapter 9-Irma, Hay Lin, and Taranees Plan
Taranees' POV
"Yea!" Irma yelled, sounding very happy indeed. "Go Will!"
Will was telling the girls about what had happened during school with Cornelia, and Irma was getting a kick out of it.
"Irma!" said Taranee, kind of mad about her reaction to what had happened.
"What?" asked Irma, looking around. "Please, it's about time someone actually stood up to her. She's been treating us like dirt, someone had to say something"
"I don't completely agree with what you said", said Hay Lin thoughtfully. "But Irma's right, someone does have to stand up to her"
"Hay Lin agrees with me", Irma informed Taranee.
"Well I don't", said Taranee stubbornly. "We want Cornelia to stop hating us, not make her hate us even more"
"I guess", said Will thoughtfully. "I was a little mean to her. Maybe I can try talking to her once she's cooled off…"
"I say forget about her", said Irma stubbornly. "She hates us. No need to try and mess with that. Forget it, that's my opinion"
"We know your opinion", said Will. "But…"
"But what?" asked Irma. She stopped. Will had gone kind of rigid. Taranee and Irma looked at each other and shrugged.
"Will?" Hay Lin asked tentively. Will shook her head and looked around.
"Sorry", she said breezily. "What'd you say?"
"Will…", said Taranee.
"What?" she asked.
"Well it's just…" Taranees' voice drifted off, and she looked to Irma to finish the sentence.
"That's the second time that's happened", said Irma, taking over. Will shrugged and just said, "So what? Like you've never drifted off before"
"During class maybe", said Taranee. "Not while we're talking to our friends"
"Hey, no big right?" she asked. "Come on, get over it, it's no big deal"
Taranee hesitated, but caught Hay Lin shaking her head, telling her to just drop it for now.
"Why didn't you let me say something?" Taranee asked Hay Lin an hour later as they left Wills'. "You know she is hiding something from us, why couldn't I ask?"
"Because we were never gonna find out like that", said Hay Lin simply. "Will is way too stubborn that way. If we're gonna find out, we have to do it the right way"
"You gotta plan?" Taranee asked.
"Oh yea", said Hay Lin mysteriously. "Listen up…"
(Not my longest chapter, not my shortest, its just right. Okay, this isn't the Three Bears, so lets' move on. I'll update soon, but I can't make any promises about that, I'm getting ready for school just like most of you are, so I can't guarantee updates)
