A new girl?
I looked at Mrs. Tracy's face for some sign of what kind of person this girl might be. She had a cool name. Jessica. For an instant I wondered if she would be as pretty as Courtney. Just after I'd made all these plans about the election, wouldn't it be strange if a new girl came in smelling like peaches, too? No way! Forget that. I nearly laughed out loud in my seat No matter how good Jessica Feeney looked, no matter how nice she was, she'd never replace Courtney. . . .
It's odd now to think of how I almost missed what Mrs. Tracy said next. I almost missed it, thinking about Courtney. but I looked up just in time and now I can never forget it. "There is...." Mrs. Tracy was saying quietly, "there is something you need to know about Jessica...."
