"See that boy over there?" asked Sarah. "Why can't you be more like him?"
"Like ... Biff?" Jon wanted to throw up. This Sarah still thought highly of Biff ... albeit in a different way. Now Biff was the son she wished she had. A boy who dated the likes of ...
"No way." Jon couldn't believe who Biff's girlfriend had become. It was Karyn...only not the Karyn he was used to. She was wearing a uniform...for Girl's Lacrosse. Apparently this Karyn was some sort of athlete. He wasn't even sure the school had a Lacrosse team before...not that he'd been paying attention. He hadn't known the school had a chess team till Kyla Leeson had mentioned it and that wasn't because of magic.
"See? Look at the girl he is dating. Cheerleading isn't the only competitive sport at this school. You need someone with drive and ambition," she told her son. "Not someone who dresses like a reject from a music video."
"Can we just drop this, please?" Jon said.
Not far away, Zoe listened in on the loud conversation, grinning a bit. Trouble in paradise.
