You KISSED me! Yeah. Thanks for noticing. I'm not really the type for public affection, but... Oh, that's okay. Nobody's around but us. Did you see THAT? Wowza!
Well, judging by the two little hearts – one over each character’s head – the attraction is very mutual. Good. Unrequited love (like the one he held for Jenny) is not his style.
May I offer some predictions?
1. Nate is going to suffer fewer detentions by Mrs. Godfrey. A detention means that he doesn’t get to walk Trudy home.
2. Or not. If I know teachers, parents and other adults with disciplinary powers, cramping one’s social life is an effective tool to keeping the young’uns in line.
3. I’m very curious how Nate’s nemesis, Gina, will react to this new development in his life. If I know the types of Gina, she’s going to do whatever she can to tear asunder this relationship.
4. Or maybe she might change her tune and get a boyfriend of her own. Maybe she’ll be nicer. Or not.
5. Jenny will be a mixture of relieved and perplexed. Or maybe, just maybe a little bit jealous. Artur, I’m sure, will be very happy for Nate.
6. The grade 6 student and grade 7 body is going to be abuzz with gossip. What, a grade 6 boy and a grade 7 girl, together?
No matter what happens, I’m sure it’s going to be a lot of fun to read.
