Chapter 32
Edward grabbed the basketball from Jacob and tossed it to Peter.
"What do you think goes on at those slumber parties, anyway?" Emmett shouted from where he was sitting on the benches.
"I don't think any of us want to know the answer to that." Jasper grabbed the ball from Peter, throwing it through the broken hoop.
Peter snorted. "Char says all girls do during those slumber party things are gossip about boys and get into trouble."
Edward's brow furrowed. "Who's Char?"
"Charlotte. She goes to the all girls school that was started a few years ago. Dad's been involved with a couple of graffiti cases that have happened on their property."
"And you met this girl how then?" Jacob asked before going to get the ball.
"I was curious about the... case... yeah, we'll go with that. So I ditched school and took one of the city buses over there."
"You mean you were curious about the 'all girls,'" Emmett managed to say between chuckles.
"Aren't you?" Peter demanded.
"Nah, a bunch of stuck up girls going to some private school doesn't really interest me. That school costs something like fifteen grand a year. And for what?"
"According to dad, private schools give a more personal education that tends to incite better grades," Edward said.
"Then why are you and Rosalie going to a private school?" Jasper pointed out.
"Public school leads to a stronger backbone," Edward deadpanned.
