Darla waved her list in the air, calling, “Liz! Macy! Over here! I’ve got the list!”
Darla’s friends fell all over themselves getting to her, then pored over the paper like it was a treasure map.
Macy cried,Chad Ormonde’s on it! He is so cute. I’d go ten bucks on him, easy!
“And Denny’s on it, too!” Liz squealed. “That boy is”– she shivered and giggled—“fi-yi-yine!”
Macy’s top lip curled a little and she said, “Jon Trulock? Jon Trulock? How did he get on this list?”
For a moment I couldn’t believe my ears. I snatched the paper out of Macy’s hand. “Are you sure?”
“Right there,” she said, pointing to his name. “Who do you suppose voted for him?”
“The quiet girls, I guess,” Darla said. “Me, I’m more interested in Mike Abenido. Have I got any competition?”
Macy laughed, “If you’re in, I’m out!” “Me too,” said Liz.
“How about you, Jules?” Darla asked me. “Bringin’ spare change on Friday?”
“No!” “You get to miss the second half of school….” “No! I’m not bidding. Not on anyone!”
She laughed. “Good for you.” That afternoon I rode home from school brooding about Bryce and the whole basket boy auction.
