April-May came running up to us, her blond hair flying. “Chipmunk—congratulations!” she cried “You’re going to The Plopps concert! Congratulations!”
Chipmunk blushed. He grinned at April-May.
“Would you like to go with me?” he asked.
“Yes!” she cried. “I’m there! I’m there! Yes!”
Chipmunk turned to me. “See, Bernie? You’re helping me get over my shyness!”
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t talk. Chipmunk and April-May walked off, talking excitedly about the concert.
April-May?
He’s taking April-May?
“Hey, Bernie,” Feenman called after me. “Hey, wait—Bernie. Where are you going?”
“Where do you think?” I said.
I climbed into the closet and slammed the door.
