The Flirting Games (The Flirting Series - Young Adult)

  “You’re so lucky.” Sighed Grace. “No parents, no schoolwork, just total freedom.” Her own parents were pretty strict and made her study several hours a day even during the holidays.

  And two weeks with Jack, thought Sophie, though she didn’t say it aloud. “I can’t believe the school are just letting Jack come and stay.” She said.

  “Yeah, well, it is Jack. You know how much the Head Mistress thinks of him. I think she probably cried when he left last term.” Rose rolled her eyes.

  She wasn’t the only one, thought Sophie. “When is he arriving?”

  “Sometime tomorrow, you might see him before you leave, do you want me to ring and ask him?” Rose said.

  Sophie shook her head. She didn’t want Jack to know she was bothered.

  “So who else is staying?” She asked.

  “I’m not sure.” Rose’s eyes traveled back to where Leo and Diana were sitting. She had heard a rumor that they were both staying, though she couldn’t think why.

  “Definitely Anne-Marie the Head Girl, and I think a boy in Toby’s year, which will be nice for him.” Toby was thirteen and had not taken the news of his parent’s absence this coming Christmas at all well.

  “So no one particularly interesting. No cute boys?” Said Grace.

  Rose let her gaze linger on Leo for a second more. “No. No-one interesting.” She confirmed.
