I pointed to the red-and-white sign hanging by the door of the cafeteria, then turned to Emily. "The Hot Chocolate Social is in six weeks. Didn't you tell me that everyone is always freaking out about the slow dance? I could help you figure out who to dance with and get him to ask you."Kacy stopped laughing. The Hot Chocolate Social usually only had one slow dance, and every girl at Austen wanted a dance partner, but Emily told me there weren't usually very many couples on the dance floor."You could do that?" asked Danielle. "Could you find a guy for me?""I'll take one, too," Kacy said. "But he has to be tall. I feel weird dancing with someone shorter than me."The right side of Emily's mouth tugged up in a half smile. "I'm sure she could. You should see her at the mall. She picks two random strangers, and before you know it, they're a couple." Emily turned to me. "You should be a professional Cupid when you grow up."I thought about Emily's words for a second, and a little tingle danced up my spine. "What if I was a professional Cupid now? I mean, what if that was our business for the ABC? A matchmaking business.""I'd sign up!" said Danielle. "Me too," agreed Kacy."I love that idea," Emily said enthusiastically. "We could even call it... Cupid Clara!"
