Got Cake? (2007)
“Chapter 3 LIGHTING UP THE DIMPLES The School House is a tall, redbrick building at the end of the Great Lawn. We call it Mouse House.
If we get bored in class, we count the mice that run by. Except some of us can’t count that high.
We all sit with our legs crossed under us in class. That keeps the mice from climbing up your leg. Most of the time.
My friend Beast likes to play with the mice. He swings them by their tails and sends them sailing to the wastebasket near Mrs. Heinie’s desk.
CLANNNNG...!
“Yeaaaa! Three points!” Beast shouts every time he makes a basket.
Mrs. Heinie begs him to stop. But Beast just flashes her his special grin with the big white gobs of drool running down his chin.
And then, a few seconds later… CLANNNNG!
“Yeaaaaa! Three points!”
I hurried down the empty hall and stopped at a door at the end. I read the words on the window: ROTTEN EGG.
That’s the name of our school yearbook. The Rotten Egg. How did it get that name? Who knows? Maybe they just couldn’t think of a better one.MoreLess
