Being totally caught up on all my subjects gave me nothing to do while that tedium was occurring, so I spent a good chunk of the morning daydreaming a...out what I could do with the Ducklings at lunchtime, with frequent go-softs so I wouldn't embarrass myself in class. The go-soft interruptions didn't stop me having several interesting ideas, some of which were actually legally possible at school, if we were careful.At lunchtime Julia, Ava and I met and headed to middle school. As soon as we got. "Sara." I'm tired, Andy. Could we talk another time?" Sure," I said with a sigh.I left. Mom looked at me expectantly. I shrugged. Mom looked sad. I asked to talk to Samuel, Sara's brother."Hi!" Samuel said, excited to see me.I told him my reason I was here. His face showed disappointment that I wasn't here to talk to him about the boys' golf team. He had Sara's talent, so he was coming along. This year he would probably be classified as good and hopefully he would be even better next year."Is. In other words, an outfit to distract the hell out of Cliff while I twisted him around my finger. Mother Jones might have been shocked at my appearance, but she would have understood my choice of weapons for my duel with Cliff. Sample book in hand, I listened to the echoes of my too high heels as I walked down the hall. Turning on my brightest smile I burst into the lunchroom."Don!" I exclaimed, "I couldn't wait for you to see this!" Excitedly, I thrust the book in front of him as he. Jaworski is expecting you!”“Thanks.”Olivia, who’d only joined NIKA as a receptionist six weeks earlier, buzzed us through the door and we walked down the hall to Barbara’s office where Barbara hopped up to give me a hug as she usually did, and exchanged ‘air’ kisses by touching cheeks with Stephanie.“Thanks for coming out,” Barbara said.“You’re welcome!” I replied. “Any morale issues you want to tell me about before I go play with the other kids while you and my sister talk business?”Barbara.
