‘We well be late for school,’ Jo replied.
Jo liked Mikey. He was in the year above her and he lived in the next street. He was always in trouble at school, but he was funny. And today, ‘funny’ was good.
‘What’s your first class?’ asked Mikey.
‘What day is it? Thursday. It’s maths,’ said Jo.
‘Maths is boring,’ said Mikey.
She thought about maths. ‘OK, then. I’ll go into school after maths.’
They had coffee in the kitchen. Jo put the radio on again.
They were talking about bees, so she turned it off .
‘Who wants to know about bees?’ said Mikey. He looked out of the window. Jo’s mom’s car was in front of the house.
‘Hey, I have got an idea!’
‘Oh yeah? What’s your idea?’ asked Jo.
‘Can you drive?’ asked Mikey. He did not wait for an
answer. ‘I can,’ he said. ‘I drive my dad’s car all the time.’
