It was difficult to get out of my bed without shaking it too much and waking Joey again, nonetheless I somehow managed it. I got my swim trunks and robe from my armoire and decided I would change when I got down to the weight room. I made it as far as the second step before I heard someone whisper my name.
“Alvin!”
I turned and saw that it was Jacquelyn and she was walking on tiptoes toward me.
When she reached me she asked, “Where are you going?”
“To the basement to practice surfing.” I told her.
“Can I come?” she asked in a cute sort of way that made it impossible for me to say anything but yes.
“Wait for me, I just need to change.” She said as she tiptoed back to her room.
