CHAPTER TWELVE

Friday morning went by in a flash. I gave Carly a copy of the newspaper article, then Karina said she was looking forward to the History Society meeting, and her Mum had already offered to collect us all and take us home afterwards. When I told her about finding the Brent's, Margaret's Grandparents, living in Lavender Road too, she started laughing.

"Is your Mum going to try to get their house back as well?"

I hadn't even given it a thought. I started laughing back.

"OMG, well that's an idea. We can have one each!"

The whole thing was getting a bit crazy. So here was a whole new subject to research on the internet, like who owned No. 31 and did the Brent's have any other children or just Catherine? I'd definitely get Mum to check it out at the Library. I could start looking up maps of Canada and planning our trip out there. Maybe we could go after my exams in June? Life was certainly not boring these days, I thought happily. Then, of course, there was next Wednesday to look forward to, and seeing Julian again.

The teacher's voice was droning on about Neolithic land use and I let my mind wander back to the Library. I could see Barry standing by the reception desk and I was walking towards him and he turned around, but he looked different, like a lot younger. Then I saw another woman walking towards him and she handed him a piece of paper. I realised that it was my Grandmother, Margaret. He started speaking to her but she indicated that she was deaf. I saw him take a pen out of his jacket pocket and write something down. I tried to see what he had written when,

"Lacy!" Suddenly I was brought back to the present. "I don't think you'll find any Neolithic utensils in the school yard."

Everybody started laughing.

"Er, sorry miss."

"I expect your coursework in by next Monday or else you'll be staying late after school."

"Yes, miss." So then I had to concentrate on the lesson and try not to think about what I'd seen in my daydream, but it was definitely something else to check with Barry.

After the lesson Carey came and spoke to me.

"Are you all right, Lacy?"

"Of course."

"Only you had that strange look on your face."

"That's normal," I joked.

"No, I mean like you did in Burger Man, just before you passed out."

"Really? Well why were you looking at my face anyway?"

Carey blushed. "I still fancy you, Lacy." He hesitated. "I'm not seeing Lucy any more."

I felt myself going red, too.

"I've got a lot on," I mumbled, looking down, "What with our exams and everything," and then I walked away. I was secretly pleased by what he'd said, though. I told Karina about it on the way to the Library.

"Would you go out with him now, Lacy?" she asked.

"No way," I replied, "I'm thinking too much about Julian."

It was true, I just couldn't wait for next Wednesday to see him again. If he didn't give me his 'phone number, I would give him mine, I decided.
