Fizza laughed.
"What? No! Of course not! He's just a friend:'
"Hrnm," said Babs.
It was obvious Babs didn't believe her.
In the two weeks since the beginning of term, Fizza had
spent a lot of time with Billy. They had been to the park and
the movie th eater, and hed even been to her ho use and her dad
had taught him some judo moves. But they hadn't held hands
or kissed! She wasn't shy of him anymore, but they weren't
girlfrien d and boyfriend, they were just friends.
"You know everyone at school is talking about you?" said
Babs.
Fizza did know. She had noticed the "cool" girlswhispering
abo ut her, but she had tried 10 ignore them.
"Let them talk!" laughed Fizza.
But Babs didn't laugh because, although she had met Jake
on vacation, she was a bit jealous of Fizza's relations hip with
Billy. After all, she had said that she liked him first!
