''Zara ?'' I whisper to her.Can I talk to you ?In private?''

''Sure!''

I take her to my bench,because most of the people sitting in that area had gone to hang out with their friends.

''Yeah,now what did you want to say?''

 

''WHY DIDN'D YOU TELL ME THAT ALAN'S MOM ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY WOULD COME HERE AGAIN ?''I whisper-shouted.

''What?They didn't say that!''

''They did!'' I connect my earbuds to my phone and hand one to Zara before playing the recording.Sure enough,towards the end..

''...so since you want to hurry up,let's finish this whole thing off on Friday 9 o'clock.If Tamara thought I would let her off for trying to steal Jason away from me,she was SO wrong.HAH!Guess being the principal of ''one of the very best schools in DC'' didn't help!''

''Well'',said Zara hesitatingly,''I guess the recorder was on for a little longer than I thought!''

''Zara,don't you understand?This is actually better!We can just keep watch here on Friday night and catch them red-handed !''

''Great!But who's gonna keep watch?''

''We can have a sleepover here!And maybe we can tell my cousin who lives right across the street to keep and eye as well!''

''Um,but isn't Justin taking his SATs this March?

''No,he's taking in in August,so he still has time.''

''OK then.''
