Anne Frank and Me Read Online Free Page B

Instead of hitting dress, she felt nothing but bulging panties. While she was changing clothes, she had somehow stuffed the hem of her dress inside her panties. Oh, God. She yanked her dress out and smoothed it down. Too late. Eddie was falling all over himself laughing, which meant he and Jack had seen everything. She wasn’t even wearing cute bikinis—she had on the baggy old-lady panties her mom had bought her.
    â€œThose are the butt-ugliest undies I ever saw!” Eddie gasped, between peals of laughter. Burning with humiliation, Nicole dropped down on her bed and stared at the polished wood floor as if there was something there worth seeing.
    â€œOh, Eddie, grow up,” Mimi chided him. “What are you, six?”
    Nicole risked a peek at the guys. Tears of mirth were rolling down Eddie’s cheeks.
    â€œCut it out,” Jack told him, but it was obvious he was trying not to laugh, too.
    â€œYou could go snow-blind from lookin’ at those two big ol’ white moons, man,” Eddie howled.
    â€œMy sister does not have a big moon butt!” Little Bit insisted, which made Eddie convulse anew.
    Jack flicked his hand against Eddie’s back. “Like you’ve never done anything embarrassing. How about when you came out on the soccer field trailing, like, a yard of toilet paper?”
    â€œThat’s cold, Polin.”
    Little Bit folded her arms. “You deserved it, Eddie. You were being extremely immature.”
    Great. Her little sister was defending her. Nicole wanted to crawl into her closet with the rest of her mess.
    Mimi spotted Nicole’s copy of Anne Frank’s diary on her desk, and picked it up. “Read this yet?”
    â€œGot it covered.” Eddie smirked. “Saw it on cable.”
    Mimi groaned. “You are such a Neanderthal. It happens to be amazing.”
    â€œIt is, I read it last year,” Suzanne agreed.
    Little Bit grabbed the book from Mimi. “Does it have any dirty parts?” She started flipping through the pages.
    â€œYo, aren’t you a little young for that?” Eddie asked.
    â€œI happen to be extremely mature for my age.”
    â€œI’m only, like, thirty pages into it so far,” Jack said.
    â€œMe, too,” Nicole agreed. “Who has time?”
    â€œOh my gosh, listen to this!” Little Bit exclaimed. “ ‘We are shut up here, shut away from the world, in fear and anxiety, especially just lately. Why, then, should we who love each other remain apart? Why should we wait until we’ve reached a suitable age? Why should we bother?’ ”
    â€œNo way was that in the movie,” Eddie said.
    Little Bit shrugged. “What difference does it make? ”It’s a big fake. Anne Frank didn’t even write it.”
    â€œIgnore her,” Nicole pleaded. “It’s just some stupid thing we saw on the Internet. She’s trying to show off.”
    â€œI am not.” Little Bit folded her arms defiantly. “That man was a historian, Nicole. He knows way more than you do.”
    Jack tugged playfully at Little Bit’s ponytail. “Go, girl. Don’t let ‘em dis you. Think for yourself.”
    Little Bit shot Nicole a smug look. “Well, some people don’t care about thinking for themselves.”
    â€œYo, whatever,” Eddie said. “Who cares?”
    â€œSo listen,” Jack began. “About the talent show thing. Maybe at the party afterwards, the five of us could hook up. You up for it?” He looked at Nicole.
    Her stomach bungee-jumped with happiness. She went for casual. “Sounds fun.”
    Jack’s face lit up. “Yeah? Great!”
    Nicole executed a regulation Chrissy hair toss, batted her eyelashes, and smiled seductively. For once, she pulled it off. She felt poised on the cliff of possibility, ready to spread her wings for the first time. And fly.
