It's An Aardvark-Eat-Turtle World (2007)
“Mrs. Carson comes into the kitchen. “Bev and Aviva have promised to give us a guided tour of Eaton Center.”
“Are you going too?” I’m glad that Phoebe asks Jason.
He shakes his head. “I hate malls.”
That’s something that we have in common. I would prefer to stay behind but it wouldn’t be right, since Phoebe’s mom and Plastic Pop paid for my trip.
Jason says, “See you later, I hope,” and seems to look straight at me.
As we go out, Phoebe says in a surprised whisper, “He likes you. I can tell.”
I say nothing and hope no one heard her. It would be so embarrassing if someone did hear and Jason really didn’t like me. Once, in the seventh grade, I had this tremendous crush on a boy and let him know. He acted really gross, ignoring me and making me feel like slug slime. Since then I’ve been sort of scared to show my feelings. In dating I guess I’m a late bloomer with an early inferiority complex.
Mrs. Carson and Bev are in the front of the car and we three kids sit in the back.
