Объяснение:
Kate called me early in the morning. It was the second day of holidays: I
felt angry with her for waking me up.
“What happened?" I didn't sound very polite, but she paid no attention
to that.
"Oh, nothing! I want to go shopping today and wondered if you wanted to go with me."
“No, I don't want to."
“But it won't take you long! I promise."
My first impulse was to say "no"-unlike most women I hated shopping. But Kate sounded so unhappy that I felt sorry for her.
“Ok, what do you need to buy?"
Kate's voice became cheerful again. She excitedly explained to me
that she wanted to buy a pair of hiking boots and a raincoat. That was strange as Kate had never been fond of hiking,
"I want to take up hiking as a new hobby," went on Kate. "Bob Smith says that it's very exciting.”
Now I knew what was going on. Bob Smith, the captain of the school baseball team, was the most popular boy in our school. All the girls wanted to attract his attention.
