"You were talking earlier about— Quit that," you snap as Gary Chen tries to stick a piece of sweet-and-sour chicken into your mouth. "We're going to expand the squad? That's still on?"
"Sure is," Chen murmurs. "It'll get my name in the Westside history books."
"Assuming the student council goes along with it," you can't help saying, and you ignore Chen's airy, "They will." "Well, assuming they do, and assuming I want one of those girls from the tryouts as my second face ... " You trail off with a frown, and tap the table.
"Okay," you resume. "Should I just pick one of the girls who makes it onto the squad? Or should I pick someone so you— Uh, so Chelsea can pick her?"
Chen shrugs. "Up to you. I can't guarantee you'll like any of the girls who win. But if you pick one of the girls before I pick the winners ... Well, what if she just isn't any good? It would be pretty freaking awkward." She must be thinking with her "Chelsea" brain, since "freaking" is more her kind of word than Chen's.
"And it depends on whether the expansion actually goes through," you add.
"I told you, it will."
Well, it would definitely go through, you feel, if you made Kim Walsh your second.
And Kim actually competed for the squad at the start of the year. She wasn't bad, as you and Yumi both recall.
