Chapter 27

After that, they all decided to settle down to a game of Monopoly. Well, all except Libby, who was a little too embarrassed at having lost to come out from behind her book.

"All right, I'm the banker I get to go first." Isaac said.

And the game began.

Partway through the game Jasmine started feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Umm, Zac?"

"What?"

"Umm, can you get up?"

"Yep. But I won't."

"But umm… I really need to go…"

"Nope."

"Zac," Isaac put in, "if she needs to go, she needs to go. Why don't you get up?"

"Because I'm winning. I own Mayfair and Park Lane and they've been landed on three times already with houses and I don't want any of you to land on it while I'm gone and not pay up."

"Zac…" Jasmine complained. "I really need to go!"

"We won't cheat ya while your gone ok Zac?" Taylor said.

Zac just sat there stubbornly.

"Hurry up and roll the dice." He said.

A look of frustration crossed Jasmine's face.

"Zac, it's just a game." Isaac said.

"And I'm winning. You should know I'm very competitive."

"Please Zac." Jasmine begged.

"Oh, go do it in your pants."

Jasmine glared at him. Then her eyes lit up as an idea crossed her mind. Two seconds later, she was sitting on his lap, her arms tightly wrapped around him. Jasmine smiled devilishly as a look of horror crossed his face.

"Get off me." He burst out.

"Are you gonna let me go to the bathroom?"

"Yeah, yeah, yes! Ok? Just get off…oh yuck."

Jasmine looked a little embarrassed. But she smiled anyway as the others laughed.

"Umm, sorry. But you brought it on yourself."

"Now you have to go to the bathroom Zac." Taylor grinned. "And change your pants too I imagine."

Zac glowered at them all.

**********

While Zac and Jasmine were in the bathroom, Zac noticed something lying on the table. Isaac's mobile phone. He wondered why it was there, and figured he ought to take it out and give it back to him.
