Chapter 8: Partners

Just as they were turning in opposite directions Emma remembered what she was supposed to ask Tancred. She swiveled around and ran after Tancred, Lysander, Alicia, and Gabriel who were all headed for the Heights.

"Tancred!" she called as she caught up with them.

The three boys and Alicia turned to look at her.

"Yeah Em?" asked Tancred.

"Um" began Emma "Do you remember how Mrs. Coloras {I made this up I don't know their current art teacher's name} assigned us to be partners {She felt herself blushing at this part} for the art project?"

"Oh yeah… do you want to come over my house to work on it?" he asked. {Now Tancred was blushing too.} Gabriel had started walking to his house again. Tancred and Emma's love problems weren't half as interesting to him as they were to Lysander and Alicia. As Tancred and Emma were talking the same thought was going through Lysander and Alicia's minds: I wonder how long it will be before they realize they both have major crushes on each other.
