| "Well I saw you talking to Sapphire so I thought..." Mattie began. "That's not the reason!" We're starting a band," Charlie explained. "But why ask me?" James asked. "You can have two in a band now! Look at TATU!" "Yes but bands with three people go further than bands with two people!" Charlie explained. "Look! If you don't take the offer we are going to give it to Sapphire!" snapped Mattie. "Ok..." started James. "No Mattie!" We are offering Natty before Sapphire!" Charlie argued. Mattie jumped up from his chair. "Oh yeah!" "Matthew Jay! Charles Simpson!" barked Mr.Goole. "If you want to fight do it up here in front of the class!" "Ok!" Mattie said "No way!" Charlie objected. "Well sit down and i'll carry on with the lesson." At the end of the lesson Mr.Goole gave them tons of homework! While they were walking James, Mattie and Charlie bumped into Sapphire. "Hey Sapphire!" said Mattie, trying to impress Sapphire. "We've got tons of homework!" "Well I haven't got any from Professor Vector!" Sapphire said. "We haven't got a Professor Vector in the school!" Charlie pointed out. "I know but I didn't have any homework!" said Sapphire. Sapphire started walking off. "Sapphire!" Mattie called after her. "Yeah?" Sapphire turned around. "Want to go for a pizza with me tonight?" Sapphire smiled the most beautiful smile the boys had ever seen. "Sure" she said. "7.00?" "Yeah!" Mattie replied. "See you later!" Sapphire said. "Wow Mattie! Your really brave!" James told him amazed. "I would be too scared. She might say no." "You never know until you try!" Mattie said. "And anyway i've got a stud in my eyebrow! I'll ask mum to pierce it for you!" That's what Mattie's mum did for a job. "I don't think my grandfather would like it" James said. "Well you should get one of these," said Charlie pulling off a leather surfing dudes choker. "Girls simply adore them on boys!" "I think i'd be allowed to have one of those!" **** Mattie, I don't know why but Emerald gave me this note to give to you to give to James." Mattie opened the note. "Yuck! It has kisses around it!" "Double Yuck!" said Sapphire having a look. "Dear James" read Mattie in a soppy voice. "I'm sorry about the Valentine Disco. I thought you were Adam Edwards! I'm sorry and could we make it up? Meet me at the park tomorrow. Lots of Love Emerald XxXxXx" "She's going to kill him!!" said Sapphire. "Don't be daft!" laughed Mattie. "She wants to do something!!" Sapphire cried. "He has no car! She wouldn't glance at him unless something is up!" "We better warn him!" said Mattie getting to his feet. "Oh no you don't!" said Sapphire. "But we've got to save James!" "Not before paying the bill!" ***** Ding Dong! "James or Lizzie! Will you open the door?" "Ok Gran!" came Lizzie's voice. Lizzie opened the door. "Oh it's you!" said Lizzie. "JAMES!! Your stupid friends are here!" |
