they’re going. So, my dad invited him over for Thanksgiving . It’s totally stupid. ” She knew, herself, that the explanation sounded lame.
“Okay.” He turned around, headed toward the classroom.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. “ I would much rather go to your house. Honorio is a jerk , and I can’t stand the tho ught of spending hours with him. ”
He turned back to her and his eyes searched her face for sincerity. “You guys aren’t dating or something?”
Jasmine shook her head with wide eyes. “Not a chance. ”
“Why did he wink at you?” S uspicion was obvious in Mark’s voice.
“ I ’m trying to figure that out myself. He’s so arrogant, it was probably to scare you off since he knows I ’d rather spend time with you.”
Jasmine slapped her hand over her mouth , and blushed. She dropped her hands and rubbed them on the sides of her jeans , as they had beco me clammy. As she looked down at her hands, she wished she could turn invisible. She showed far more of her cards than she had intended . If she had been reading Mark incorrectly this whole time , then he was as good as gone to her .
The thought of blowing things with Mark caused her stomach to churn. All the hard work and humiliation she endured just to stay in Omaha would have been a waste of time. Alien or no t , she would strangle Honorio if his cocky stunt forced the issue , and Mark had been freaked out.
She chanced a glance up at Mark , and thankfully his crooked grin appeared. She relaxed finally , and she returned his smile. He reached over and took her hand in his. His hand was soft and warm. It enveloped her smaller hand , and sent shivers up her spine. She felt as though her heart would leap out of her chest, her head swam in glee, her legs felt rubbery. Through all of her emotions, she lacked the uncertainty she felt that night with Honorio at the Quest Center . This was how it felt to care about someone , and have them return the admiration.
“We should get in there so we aren’t marked tardy.” He said indicating the classroom. He held her hand then led her into class just as the tardy bell rang.
She glowed. She fixed the misunderstanding , and as her reward she had gotten to hold hands with Mark! Her goofy smile stayed on her face. It onl y faltered slightly as their hands parted , when they had to sit in separate seats.
Thank you! Jasmine thought to Yumi.
Yumi sounded surprised and confused. You are certainly welcome but f or what?
I fixed the problem with Mark , and we held hands!
According to my research that signifies that you have paired off. Are you now a couple?
I think so! Jasmine sighed.
You are unsure?
Let’s just say I don’t really care because he held my hand , and smiled at me !
Well, as long as you are happy, I am happy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Since things are repaired, are you going to let Honorio stop sweating?
Jasmine laughed in her head. Yeah. I ’ll let him off the hook.
That is another colloquialism?
Who-da-wha ? In her bliss, Jasmine had been distracted.
Colloquialism means a saying that is not typically used in formal speech or writing. It is oftentimes a saying that , when directly translated or defined , does not have the same meaning as the intent of the speaker.
Okay, I get it. It’s like saying something is , wicked but you mean that it’s awesome , not evil.
Correct.
When I say I ’ll let Honorio off the hook I mean that I will tell him he can come to dinner.
Thank you. He is feeling great amounts of stress.
Serves him right. Oh , the teacher is starting class. I need to pay attention.
I do too.
She turned her head to smile at Mark again then she listened to Ms. Gallagher explain division with X and Y littered in the equation.

Yumi pondered her conversation with Jasmine. She wondered how Jasmine could find such pleasure in a simple touch. Her people rarely made contact with each other. It was possibly because of their different
