Chapter Seven

What

No-Boys Rule?

The Princess Patsy theme song blared from the living room. I rushed back into the kitchen to cut up carrots. I was mixing cookie dough when Claudia and Becca rang the doorbell.

“We can’t watch the movie now,” Angela said. “Monica hasn’t finished the cookies yet.”

“That’s fine with us,” Becca said. “We don’t want to start until Tommy and Adam get here.”

“And maybe Brad,” Claudia added. “If Adam took the hint and asked him.”

“I didn’t know you asked the guys to come,” I said nervously, glancing at Angela. Would she remember the no-boys rule I’d made up?

“They can’t come,” Angela said. “They’re boys!”

Oh, no. I had to think fast. “I’m in charge, so we don’t have a no-boys rule today,” I said.

I was pretty sure Mom wouldn’t exactly approve, but Claudia had a crush on Brad, and Becca really liked Tommy. I didn’t want to ruin their afternoon.

Besides, I had just invited Cameron.

“Then I want Nick to come,” Angela said.

“No!” Claudia, Becca, and I answered at the same time.

“I want to be able to relax and watch the movie,” Claudia said. “There’s no way that would happen with Nick around. Sorry, Angela.”

“That’s not fair!” Angela yelled. She stuck out her lip and folded her arms.

Claudia and Becca looked at me. They knew that Angela shrieked and stomped and made things horrible when she was mad.

“Maybe we can meet Claudia and Nick at the park one day next week,” I suggested. I dropped spoonfuls of dough on a plate.

“We can do that,” Claudia said.

“With ice cream,” Angela said.

“Deal,” Claudia said. She and Angela shook on it. Then the doorbell rang.

Claudia, Becca, and Angela left to answer the door.

I put the first batch of cookies in the microwave and set the timer. I heard boys’ voices coming from the living room.

Adam, Tommy, Brad, and Cameron had arrived at the same time. Adam and Brad knew Cameron from baseball. Pine Tree and Rock Creek played against each other a lot.

Chloe was late. And Cameron didn’t ask about her.

That wasn’t good.
