Sylvia narrowed her eyes and smiled. ‘That shouldn’t be

‘Which guy?’ Cora’s voice was full of excitement.
‘The one in the blue sweatshirt, talking to some girls,
three tables from here.’

Sylvia laughed softly. ‘That’s the one. The one and only
Neil Green.’
Cora looked puzzled. ‘Why him?’ Before Sylvia could

You had the hots for him but he never even looked at you.

Sylvia gave her friend an angry look. ‘Not because of
that. I forgot about that a long time ago,’ she said. ‘It’s

at that smile. It’s got I’m-the-coolest-guy-here written all
over it. Do you see it?’
‘Yeah.’ Cora nodded quickly to show how strongly she
agreed with her friend.

Cora’s face went blank again. She looked at Sylvia and
shook her head.
‘Well, I have! Listen!’ she said, moving her chair closer
to Cora’s.
