“Really? Wow. I would never have bid last year! And I… I don’t remember bids going up that high, either.”
Darla eyed me. “Which tells me that maybe you would bid this year? How much you got?”
I looked at her and almost dissolved right on the spot.
Darla, I didn’t bring money on purpose! My neighbor made me take it on the way to school because she owed it to me for eggs and—
For eggs? Oh, like Bryce was talking about in the library?
Exactly, and—I looked at her looking at me and stopped cold. “How can you even think about bidding on that boy?”
“I don’t want to! But I’ve liked him for so long. Darla, I’ve liked him since I was seven.
And even though I know he’s a coward and a sneak and I should never speak to him again, I’m having trouble focusing on that.
Especially since Shelly Stalls is after him. And now I’ve got this money burning a hole in my pocket!”
“Well, I can understand the bit about Shelly Stalls,
but if you know that boy’s just a big piece of fluffy cheesecake that you’re gonna regret eating, I can help you with your diet.”
She put out her hand. “Give me the money. I’ll hold it for you.”
