Chapter 2
Jonathan arrived at the elementary school library. He was surprised to see Lydia was already there organizing books.
"Lydia?" Jonathan asked.
"You're late," Lydia said.
"What are you doing here?" Jonathan asked. "I thought you got banned from here."
"My mom talked to Rimkus and I'm back," Lydia said.
"So what does this mean for us?" Jonathan asked.
"As for us, my mom took my dad's side and agrees with him that we shouldn't date," Lydia said.
"This stinks," Jonathan said.
"Actually," Lydia said before giving Jonathan a kiss. "We can date in secret."
"I don't know," Jonathan said. "What if we get caught?"
"We won't," Lydia said.
"Okay," Jonathan said. "Where should we go on a date?"
"Well obviously we can't go to my mom's café or seafood restaurant," Lydia said.
"How about a movie?" Jonathan said.
"I don't watch movies," Lydia said. "Which is perfect because my parents would never suspect that I'd be at a movie theater!"
Chris walked into the library.
"Not so fast," Chris said. "Chris Keller heard every word."
"Uncle Chris," Lydia said. "What are you doing here?"
"Your father asked me to keep an eye on you while you organized books," Chris replied.
"Please don't tell my parents," Lydia begged.
"And please don't tell Chase," Jonathan said.
"Chris Keller won't," Chris said. "I can tell you like each other and I will keep your secret."
"Thanks Chris," Jonathan said. "Goodbye."
"Oh no," Chris said. "Chris Keller is staying."
"Okay," Lydia said. "You can help organize books."
"Okay," Chris said as he began putting books on the shelves.
"Chris," Jonathan said. "We organize the book alphabetically by the authors' last names. So Barbara Park doesn't go next to Mary Pope Osborne."
"Oh," Chris said.
Jonathan and Lydia began to laugh.
"Stop making fun of me!" Chris whined.
