~Chapter 3~ Mrs. Harvey told the class in September that they were going to be touring colleges.  They spent a long time learning about colleges including the criteria and costs.  However, it was one of those things kids thought was useless.  What eighth grader was even sure what they were gonna do for a living. "This is lame."  scoffed April. "Yeah I know.  I could see doing this is sophmore or junior year, but four years early, we'll forget before we're freshmen!" "I know!" "Me too.  This is lame."  said Steve. "Yeah.  Like you're gonna go to college/   Daphne rolled her eyes.  Being smart, she had low tolerance levels for the um, less bright. "Shut up!"  He hit her over the head with his note book. "Daphne, face the front."  yelled Mrs. Harvey. "Grrr!  I hate her!"  scowled Daphne. "April laughed.  Then Alex Samson started making moose sounds.  They wouldn't help but laugh. A few days later they headed to UW Madison.  They went on the bus with their seventh hour class, so Daphne and Libby sat together.  Ben Banks sat in the seat next to them, Kristine and Ashley Mendos sat in front of Bent.  Libby had been going out with Sam Chang, and Ashley told him to dump her, while hanging all over him.  The next day, it was over. Anyways, a friend of Daphne's, Ben Banks, who was real smart, always got a little bit jealous when she flirted with other guys.  Since Daphne was mad at him.  she decided to bug him, by flirting with Fred Kraft. "Hey Fred."  she said. "Hey Daphne!"  his voice cracked. They were talking about guys things like football and then were talking about how strong they were. "Yeah, well I lifted weights.  How much does piano weigh?"  Thanks for ignoring me Daphne!  Thought Libby. "Whoa." "You could probably take me though.  I don't have the heart to sock somebody." "Really?"  he flexed his arm.  (He knew damn well he had muscular arms.)  "I hate the way my arms are shaped." "Damn!  That's all muscle.  Yeah, uh it's fine!" "Hey Daphne!"  It was Ben. "Really, Ben can't you see I'm trying to have a conversation?"  she snapped staring into Fred's eyes. "What. with your boyfriend?"  he snapped. "Shut up!!"  she yelled. Out of the blue, Fred said  "Hey, who should I go out with?" "Hmm, I dunno, how about Michelle?" "Ellll!  No way!" "Uhhh, Tiffy Schultz?" "SLUT!  Really, I ain't that desperate!" "I thought all guys like her?" "Not me!  I mean she's mess 'let's wear a black bra under a light pink shirt."  Daphne laughed. "Ha, I think you should go out with Daphne."  laughed Libby. "Shut up!"  they both yelled. "Geez, forgive me for talking!"  frowned Libby Then the bus ride was over. "Hey Libby I gotta talk to you." "Uhhhh, ok." "Ok fine, just leave me out of this."  laughed Daphne.  She walked inside, realizing she wasn't kidding when flirting with Fred. "Libby, does Daphne like me?" "Uhh, I don't know." "Well can you ask her?  Like sometime when I'm not around?" "Yeah, I guess." That night, Libby called Daphne.  "Hey, do you like Fred?" "Yeah, uh, no, I don't know.  Why?" "Cause you were totally flirting with him on the bus!" "So?" "Hehe.  Daphne plus Fred." "Shush." The next day, Libby told Fred.  No one knows what was said In seventh hour, Fred started talking to Daphne a lot. "Cool necklace, Fred.  What's on it?" "Um this is an eagle from Texas, and this and is an Aztec Ring" "Oh, can I see it?" "Yeah, catch."  she caught it. "Oh my god, Fred, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my whole life!" "It's an artifact!"  he boasted. "Oh my god, this is so cool!  How'd you get it?" "My uncle is one of those archaeologists." "This is cool.  Here ya go!" "Ok class, sit down." said Mr. Clapton. ~Chapter 4~ Daphne Goes Boy Crazy "Hey, can I borrow a piece of paper?"  said Todd "Uhh, sure."  said Daphne, raising an eyebrow.  She hadn't talked to him yet that year.  Then they started looking at pictures in resource the ones of authors in their English book.  In resource, Alyssa was telling a joke, and Todd joined the conversation!  "There were three flies in a meeting..." That night Daphne called Libby.  "I think I like Todd." Meanwhile, Daphne had turned 13.  She was having her birthday party on November 19.  She invited 20 people. "Daphne, your inviting me?"  Fred asked. "Yeah!  Who said I wasn't?"  asked Daphne. "Abby." "Abby," pleaded Daphne, shocked. "Get with is girl, I'm not going out with her anymore!" "Oh ok." "Don't invite her!" "I have to, she's my friend." In math, Daphne, Phoebe, and Ben were talking about it. "Who's all invited?"  asked Phoebe. Daphne handed her the list. "Alec Olsen?"  Phoebe asked.  "Did you even ask him yet?" "No." "Don't invite him!"  said Ben.  "None of us like him.  Besides, it ain't a drug party/" "He quit that." "Whatever." "Well Brandon do you wanna come?" "Huh me?" "...Yeah...."  she said cautiously "Okay." "Cool."  she said. Chapters 5-6 Chapters 1-2 Back to Stories Back to Main Page
