Part 3 (2/2)

After that, I put my head on my table. And I closed my eyes.

'Cause I needed to think of another plan, of course!

7/Wink, Wink

Another plan did not come easy.

I thinked and thinked for a real long time.

Finally, I tapped on my bestest friend Lucille.

”Want to help me, Lucille?” I asked. ”Want to help me figure out my secret admirer?”

Lucille did mad eyes at me.

”Just because you have a secret admirer doesn't mean you're prettier than me,” she said very annoyed.

I looked surprised at her.

”I never said I was prettier, Lucille,” I said. ”It's just that someone in Room Nine loves me better than he loves you. And I keep on wondering who it is.”

Lucille leaned close to my face.

”It's a cuckoo head boy, that's who it is,” she said.

After that, she scooted her chair to the end of the table. And she turned her head away from me.

I did a mad breath at that girl.

”Keep acting like that, and you'll be sweeping your own castle,” I said.

After that, I looked all around Room Nine.

And guess who I saw?

I saw Crybaby William, that's who!

Crybaby William sits right behind me. And is the shyest guy I ever heard of. And so maybe he he might be my secret admirer! might be my secret admirer!

I spinned around in my chair and waved at him.

”h.e.l.lo, shy boy,” I said real cute.

William looked nervous of me. ”What do you want?” he said.

I wrinkled up my nose very darling.

”Yeah, only you don't even have to be shy of me anymore, William. 'Cause I think I know your secret,” I said.

After that, I put my chin on his table. And I winked my eye at him. Only I'm not actually good at winking. And so I have to say the words.

”Wink, wink, William,” I said. ”Wink, wink, wink. See my eye? See how it is trying to wink at you?”

William's face started to sweat.

”Turn around, please,” he said.

I did a giggle. 'Cause that admirer boy was shyer than I thought.

”You are a silly sausage, William,” I said.

Then I tried to tickle him under his chin. But William swatted my hand away.

I tapped my fingers on the table.

”Okay. Here's the thing, William. Swatting my hand is not actually that admiring. And so please do not do that again.”

After that, I tried to tickle his chin again. But this time, he ducked under the table.

I did a frown.

'Cause something did not seem right here.

Finally, I bended my head down and I peeked at him.

”I'm going to take a wild guess here, William. You're not actually my secret admirer, are you?” I asked.

”No!” said William. ”No, no, no!”

After that, I did a big sigh. And I turned my chair back to my own table.

I looked all around Room Nine again.

And guess what boy I saw next?

I saw Paulie Allen Puffer, that's who! And he is always teasing me! And so maybe he he is my secret admirer! is my secret admirer!

I zoomed to his table speedy fast.

”Wink, wink, Paulie Allen Puffer,” I said. ”Wink, wink, wink.”

”What's wrong with your eye?” he said.
