Page 119: Sam gave what can only be described as a giggle as we entered the park. “Oh, only, for instance, that a certain Mark Kramer wants to meet me.” “Kramer? The Year Twelve guy?” Jake asked. “Yup,” said Sam. “And the word is that he is hot-hot-hot for a certain Sam Lopez. The other girls are so jealous. Everybody wants to be Mark’s girl but he only has eyes for me. Talk about romantic.”
