Nancy's ire began to rise. She glared at Crystal and said, "That was Paul. Why did you hang up on him like that?"
Crystal smiled and said, "This is part of the plan. We are going to build up some mystery around you and play a little game called Hard To-Get. So, please do not do anything without my say so. Do you understand?"
A shark-like Cheshire grin appeared on Nancy's face, and she said, "Oh, Crystal! You are so wicked. I love it. How did you get to be so smart?
Crystal shrugged and said, "Maybe it's Maybelline." And both girls broke into a fit of giggles. They went into Nancy's room together, and while she was dressing, Crystal noticed a mark on her arm that she hadn't previously seen. She pointed to it and asked, "What happened?"
Nancy frowned and said, "I was kicked a while back, and I fell into the coffee table. I ended up being stuck in the hospital for half a month. It's all right now, though."
