“Here you are!” he called, waving Hannah over as soon he saw her.
Hannah walked over and sat down.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s a big one!” Clive said and spat out the toothpick.

Clive immediately understood what she meant.
“Have you been to Homecoming, then? How else would you know about these things?”
Hannah didn’t see any point in denying it.
