“Mr. Arora?” Geena shrieked. “You've got to be joking!”

“Why?” I asked. Jazz was pulling faces too. I'd rushed to tell them my idea at break time, and this was the annoying result.

“Because he's gorgeous, that's why,” Geena groaned. “He's a boy babe. He's much too good for Auntie.”

“Anyway, isn't he younger than she is?” Jazz asked.

I scowled. “Only a couple of years, I think.”

“He'd never fancy her,” Geena scoffed.

“Why not?” I argued.

“I suppose she is quite pretty,” Jazz said grudgingly.

“Whoever marries Auntie is going to be our uncle,” I reminded them. “Do you really want someone with a wooden leg or a sad specimen who collects bus tickets?”

Geena nodded. “That's true.”

“Can you imagine how jealous all the girls would be if Mr. Arora was our uncle?” Jazz added, beginning to warm to the idea. “We could sell photos of him and locks of his hair and stuff.”

Geena and I did not reply.

“Oh, all right,” Jazz muttered. “It was just an idea.”

“Right,” I said. “We're going to have to do our best to get them together.”

“And how exactly are we going to do that?” Jazz asked.

Geena looked encouragingly at me. “Yes, Amber, how?”

That was a question, all right. I had absolutely no idea. “Why do you always expect me to come up with all the answers?” I blustered.

Jazz turned to Geena. “She's got absolutely no idea,” she said in disgust.

“Oh, really, Amber!” Geena snapped. “You'll have to do better than this.”

I gritted my teeth. “When's the next parents' evening?”

“When we get our reports,” Jazz replied.

That was at least five months away. Five months of Auntie interfering and making us cook and stopping Dad from buying us stuff and sending us to bed early. No human being alive could be expected to put up with that.

“All right,” I muttered. “I'll think about it.” I eye-balled my sisters sternly. “We'll all think about it. There must be a way.”
