Matchmaker, Matchmaker . . .
Cammi Adams and Randy Mason are great students. Or at least they were, before Mr. Jules and Ms. Sherman, two of the harshest graders in middle school history, became substitute teachers at SVMS. Cammi thinks there's only one way to get the subs to soften up: make them fall in love . . . with each other!
Playing matchmaker isn't easy, so Cammi convinces Randy to put aside his books long enough to help her out. Cammi and Randy make a great team, but as their efforts start to pay off, Cammi realizes that there's another match she wants to make. Can lightning strike between her and Randy?
Matchmaker, matchmaker . . .
"It's been shown throughout history that nothing has the power to make people happier than falling in love." Cammi cried.
Randy made a face. "So?"
"So, Mr. Jules is single, and so is Ms. Sherman, right? And they have a lot in common. They both teach, they're both really smart and demanding - maybe they'd make a good couple. And if they fall in love, they'll be too busy thinking about eah other to notice every teeny, tiny mistake we make, and they won't yell at us or -"
"Cammi, you're even more brilliant than I thought! That's a great idea," Jessica said enthusiastically.
"Well . . . it could work, I guess. But how do we get them to fall in love?" Randy asked.
"It's easy to get two people interested in each other," Jessica said. "All we have to do is think of what they'd want in a match. Then we'll make sure the other person provides it. Come on, brainstorm! Make a list of all the things guys like in girls, and what girls like in guys. Then we'll find out how Mr. Jules and Ms. Sherman match up."
Two blank faces looked back at her.
Boy, are they lucky they came to me, Jessica thought. Randy and Cammi are hopeless when it comes to things like love.
