"This is my housekeeper Consuela Martinez. Consuela, mi amigos Jake Caulfield, Leslie Owens, y Sara Johnson. I forgot she was coming today, guys. I ha... intended to run everyone out after the pizza was gone last night, but totally forgot about Consuela when things started developing as they did." I go, come back later?" Consuela asked in broken English."Nonsense," Sara Johnson said. Taking Jake's hand she added, "Jake and I will scoot back upstairs and put on enough clothes to not embarrass. Mom will ground me and not let me hang with myfriends or do anything if she knows I'm doing poorly in class. I'llstudy and try harder, but it I can't hang with my friends still, I willjust hate life and everything. Plus mom would want me to get a tutor andI don't wanna go through all that. She would most likely want Ronnie'sbrother to do it or something." So how can I help, and best of all... why should I help?" I'll give you my autographed baseball." Really now?" I said as I finally turned to. And I'm not surewhether it's the pills, or how good she is at putting me at ease, but Iseem to be able to talk to her in a way I've never experienced beforewith any girl - much less a woman as pretty as she is! I should be reallytongue-tied, but somehow I can chat to her. I so look forward to oursessions!January 27Big achievement today! I can touch my toes - without bending my knees Imean. But Joy said that while it was okay to be pleased about that, I canand should aim for a lot more. She's. I am sure if we worked together, we can make sure it is ready by then.”I smiled at both and turned to see the Arctic Elf glaring at me. If looks could kill, then I would have been murdered slowly. Instead of wilting from her glare, I burst out laughing, which only irritated her further.“Listen, princess, perhaps where you are from, you are used to getting your way. However, with me it will never be the case. You are going to be without a house if you don’t toe the line and I am not the only one.
