Chapter 26

"Aww man!" Zac complained.

Isaac looked up from his book.

"What?" he asked.

" 'Freak' dumped me."

Isaac started laughing.

"Hey, it's not funny!"

"Yes it is!" Isaac retorted, chuckling. "You, with 41 other girlfriends, are actually getting upset because one of them dumped you."

Zac glared at him for a moment, then he too started laughing.

"Yeah, I suppose. But still, she was my favourite."

"Aww." Isaac teased, still chuckling. "So, how come?"

"She found out."

"Found out about what?"

"That I was thirteen instead of eighteen."

"How'd she find out?"

"She went in under a different SN -"

"- and you slipped up!" Isaac laughed, figuring it out.

Zac poked out his tongue and blew raspberries at him. Isaac just grinned (and he was still giggling).

"But that's not the worst part." Zac said.

Isaac recovered from his giggles long enough to ask:

"What's the worst part."

"She didn't dump me because I was thirteen."

When Isaac made no reply beyond a raising of his eyebrow, Zac continued.

"It was because I lied to her."

Isaac started laughing again.

"It's not that funny." Zac said, beginning to get annoyed.

"Yes it is!"

"Is not."

"Is so."

"Is not."

"Is so."

"Is not."

"Is so."

"Is not."

"Is so."

"Is not."

"Is so."

"Is n - yahoo!"

"What?"

"She's still gonna talk to me! We're gonna stay friends." Zac's eyes twinkled delightedly.

Isaac shook his head, grinning and turned back to his book.
