“I hear you’re having a birthday party soon. Are you having clowns? Clowns are so much fun,” said Violet. “No,” said Kate. “Oh,” said Violet, turning her nose up. “Then what ARE you doing at your party?” “Well...I...” Kate began. Before Kate could finish her sentence, Violet turned her back and shouted, “Hey Lila. Wait up!” Then she ran off. Kate plunked down on a swing and pumped. Violet made her so mad. She always asked questions and never waited for answers. Up. Down. Up. Down. Kate bent her knees and arms. The swing flew higher and higher. Where was Jake? He’d gone to the bathroom before recess, but he promised he’d meet her at the swings. “Hey, Kate M’Mate,” rumbled a voice. It was Jake. He was standing behind her and pushing her swing! Kate didn’t dare turn around to look at him. She knew she’d fall off the swing if she did. Suddenly the girl in the next swing hopped off and Jake hopped on. Side by side they rose higher and higher. She felt like they were acrobats flying through air.
