5、tly in love. Thats why youre so mean to each other. Everybody knows that if you like a girl, you act like you hate her.” What? That didnt make any sense. “Yeah,” Neil said, “if you really hated Andrea, you would act nice to her. That would prove that you hate her.” My brain hurt. back and forth 来回地s
6、ecretly adv. /si:krtl/ 秘密地brain n. /bren/ 脑袋Why did the boys think A.J. like Andrea? We went up on the boardwalk and bought saltwater taffy with some money my mom gave us.

12、” said Michael. “What do you wanna do?” “I asked you first,” I said. We went back and forth like that for a while.

A bunch of kids were watching him work on the castle, but Andrea wasnt around. pop up 突然出现 “Wheres Andrea?” I
22、asked Mr. Sunny. “I cannot talk right now,” he replied. “I must have silence with the sand.” We found Andrea down by the water, reading one of her Shakespeare books. She looked like she had been crying. “Whats your problem?” I asked Andrea. “Mr. Sunny wont talk to me,” she said, dabbing her eyes wit
23、h a tissue. “He always says he needs to be alone with his sand. These words are razors to my wounded heart! This was the unkindest cut of all. O, I am fortunes fool!

I could prove once and for all that I didnt like Andrea. “I know how you can get Mr. Sunny to notice you,” I told Andrea. “You should pretend to drown. Mr. Sunny will
25、have to save you.” The guys all agreed that I was a genius, and I should get the No Bell Prize. Thats a prize they give out to people who dont have bells. drown v. /dran/ 淹没 “It would never work,” Andrea said. “Ive been taking swimming lessons since I was three.
