Blair seemed to be scribbling a lot for someone who wasn’t listening. A moment later, a piece of paper landed on Jo’s desk.

She ignored it. Yes, Blair found Civics boring, but if there was one teacher at Eastland who had the balls to send Blair Warner to detention for passing notes, it was Dragon Lady Hendricks.

Great, now Blair’s foot was tapping hers. Hendricks would never notice that. To avoid a scene, Jo unfolded the note.

"Do you think Nancy is prettier than I am?

Oh, for-. Subtly, Jo shook her head.

Minutes later, another note appeared. Damn it!

"Want to go shopping after class?"

You won’t be going anywhere if you don’t cut it out, Jo thought. Oh, no--Hendricks was bearing down on them! Blair was toast.

Hurriedly, Jo wrote, "Sure. You going to buy that VCR for the teacher’s lounge?"

Hendricks held out her hand. "I’ll take that." As she finished reading, the teacher pursed her lips thoughtfully. Finally, she said, "I assume you found this on the floor, Miss Polniaczek?"

"Yes, Ma’am."

"I don’t see any more paper down there, so I assume you won’t be picking up anything else."

"No, Ma’am . . . ."

Afterward, as she waited for Blair, who was happy to trade a VCR for detention, Jo wondered why she bothered. It made no sense to help out her sworn enemy like that.

Rushing up to her, Blair exclaimed, "You saved me!" She threw her arms around Jo and kissed her cheek.

No sense at all.
