Rose Impey – Mega Sleepover 1 (страница 7)

“Don’t we want to say where they could meet?”

“The bus station.”

“Outside the chippie.”

“The park gates.”

“Put: ‘I’ll be wearing a red carnation’,” said Kenny.

It was like a story we were making up. We could have put anything. Dave might turn up, but there was one bit we still hadn’t worked out.

“How on earth are we going to get Brown Owl there?”

“We’ll just choose a place where we know Brown Owl’s going to be,” said Kenny, as if that was the easiest thing in the world.

“Not at Brownies. She won’t want him turning up there,” said Fliss.

“Or in the bank,” I said.

“Or at her house, I guess,” said Lyndz.

“Where else does she go?” asked Rosie.

“She shops on a Saturday at the SavaCentre. I always see her when I go with my mum,” said Felicity.

“Oh, how romantic!” said Kenny.

“Meet me by the frozen peas,” said Lyndz.

“We can cuddle by the cabbages,” said Kenny. They can be so silly.

“D’you think she’ll be there tomorrow?” said Rosie, ignoring them.

“Probs,” said Felicity.

“Tomorrow’s no good, I’ve got badminton,” said Kenny.

“Not in the afternoon, you haven’t,” I said.

“D’you think you could get your mum and dad to take us?” said Fliss.

“All of us?”

“Yes. We all need to be there.”

“Tell them it’s for a project we’re doing at school,” said Kenny.

Well, that was almost true, wasn’t it? I just wouldn’t tell them the project was called Operation Blind Date. And it was in a good cause.

I finished the letter off: I’ll be shopping in the SavaCentre on Saturday afternoon. I’ll see you there.

“How shall I sign it?”

“‘Lots of love and kisses,’” said Kenny, getting really stupid.

“‘Yours affectionately, Madeline,’” suggested Fliss.

But none of us could spell “affectionately” so we just put: Love from… Then I printed it off and Kenny signed it with a huge scribble.

“What’s that supposed to say?”

“Madeline.”

“You can’t read it.”

“You’re not supposed to be able to read it,” said Kenny. “That’s what signatures are like.”

“He can read the letter, that’s the important thing,” Lyndz agreed.
