I walked down the hall and stopped when

I saw Trevon and my sister.

Emily still hasnt told me anything
about Trevon! In fact, she barely even
talks to me anymore.
I saw Trevorn hug Emily and wave
bye. Emily did the same and when he
walked away she looked like she was in a
daze.
Ok, enough is a freakin enough!
I rushed over to her.
Hey Emily!, I put on a smile.
Emily reacted so quickly that I almost
didnt have time to jump back before she
pulled out her taser.
Oh, Tara its just you. You scared the
living daylights out of me!, she said
relieved.

Oh, how adorable, you think Im not a

threat right now. I started, Who is he?
Where did you meet him? Ugh, better
yet, when did you meet him? And finally,
why didnt you tell me?
Emily gulped.
Tara, this is really none of your
business. Please, just walk away. Emily
urged.
Not until I get answers. I stood as
still as a statue.
I said walk away! Emily said as she
kicked me so hard that I flew over to the
lockers. She threw a metal block at me
and ran.
I reached for my rope, but it was too
late. Emily was already down the hall, and
out of the school.

MeanwhileI noticed the block looked

familiar. Oh chiz! It looked like one of
Charley and Enriques inventions.
The box burst open and I passed out
Right now it would be an
understatement to say Im mad...no, not
that...furious, no too nice for what Im
feeling...I am ticked the heck off! And
when I get home Im going to show Emily
what progress Ive made in the art of nun
chucks. How dare that little she-devil do
this...my own sister!
I stood up and brushed myself off.
As kids in the hallway passed, they all
stared.
What are you looking at? You pathetic
Winnies! I would reply in anger.

I grabbed my iPod from my pocket

and noticed Id gotten messages from
Enrique.
He said he was walking to my school to
pick me up for a movie.
Im so mad right now that I cant even
argue with him and his last minute plans.
I walked outside to the curb to wait
for Enrique. There I saw Stefany Little.
Ironically, she was actually quite tall for
her age.
Anyway, that was the girl Steve dated
before he started dating Jasmine.
Her curly blonde hair was
straightened today. Her brown eyes as
dark as always. When you first meet
Stefany, she seems like the sweet little
girl everyone has to love. But Ive seen
Stefany throw down before, and lets

just say...its really bad for the other

person!
If I was ever being chased by a gang
of bad guys, I would chose Stefany over
any trained agent at Spy Team.
Hey Stefany. I finally decided to
say.
Oh hey...Terra? Stefany said like she
didnt know.
Actually, its Tara. I said.
Oh, right. Youre the sister of Emily.
Yep, Emily! The reason why I lost the
best boy in the world. Stefany said
(believe it or not, it wasnt in a bitter
tone).
Wait, Steve broke up with you just
for Emily? I asked confused.
Yes he did. The most awesome
boyfriend in the world. But he never got

the chance to really tell her how he

felt. Stefany lowered her head.
I thought he kissed her., I said
confused.
Well...he kind of got a crush on
another girl and lost all focus on Emily.
He can be like that sometimes. But he
feels like its the biggest mistake hes
ever made. Stefany explained.
Wow, so Steve really does still like
Emily! But now Im definitely not going to
tell her after she knocked me unconcious!
I saw Enrique in the distance.
Well, nice talking to you. I waved bye
to Stefany.
Wow that guy is hot. she mumbled
looking directly at Enrique.
When I first met Enrique he was all
pudgy and no girls looked at him, except

for me. But now that he got a little taller,

and started getting into shape with all
the life threatening missions weve been
on, he does look attractive. But that
should only come from my mouth!
Who? That guy? I asked pointing to
a random man jogging.
Oh, youre still here? I was talking
about that guy approaching the school.
she pointed to Enrique.
My left eye started to twitch.
Something that happens when I start to
get jealous.
Stefany, sweetie, that guy has a
girlfriend. I said.
Dont care. Maybe hell do what Steve
did to me and dump his girlfriend for me.
Should I go talk to him? She said so
innocently.

I gritted my teeth. No, you should

not.
Oh, forgot you were there. Im going
to go talk to him. Stefany skipped away.
I realized I had gritted my teeth so
hard that one of my teeth chipped. Man,
Ive got to go to the dentist and get that
checked out.
I ran after Stefany, but it was too
late. Now I know what youre thinking:
Youre a trained spy, you couldnt bust out
a sprint or something?
The answer to that is I can, but
Stefany is captain of the West Forth
Track and Field team. She can kick my
butt any day, any given time, in any
subterranean in running.
Hey there, cutie. Stefany said to
Enrique.

Uhh Enrique started to sweat.

Probably because I was standing right
behind Stefany.
Oh, barf in my mouth, Stefany!
Stefany this is my boyfriend, and you
better back off before my fist, and your
face become best friends. I said in such
an angry tone that Enrique stepped back.
But I just Stefany didnt finish, I
just want Steve back!
She started to sob. Oh, little girl,
dont play sad and lonely single lady on
me!
Oh, ok. I feel for her.
Look, Stefany, I know you miss Steve.
But it will get better. Maybe he wasnt
the perfect guy. Maybe it just seemed
like that. But you have a beautiful
personality and way of looking at life. You

dont need a boyfriend to be happy.

Enrique, nor any boy will make you feel
better. Not even Steve. Only you know
how to make yourself feel better. I told
her.
Hey, going all Dr. Phil on somebody is
kind of like a super-power of mine.
Stefany wiped her face.
Thanks Tara. She smiled.
A blue minivan pulled up to the curb.
Oh, thats me., she said as she rushed
toward the van.
When it was just Enrique and I left I
kissed him on the cheek.
What was that for? he asked.
I wouldnt give you away for a million
dollars, but I wouldnt pay a quarter for
another boy just like you. I said.

Enrique took it as a compliment and

we walked toward Boulevard Theatre.
