It began with “Spray deodorant in all her desk drawers” and got worse as it went along. A whole lot worse. I think that things became illegal around Number 167. You don't want to know what Number 400 was, and you really don't want to ...
Mrs. Baker sat on the edge of her desk. This should have sent me some kind of message, since teachers aren't supposed to sit on the edge of their desks on the first day of classes. There's a rule about that. “Hoodhood,” she said quietly ...
It started first thing in the morning, when I caught her watching me come out of the Coat Room and walk toward my desk. By the way, if you're wondering why a seventh-grade classroom had a Coat Room, it isn't because we weren't old ...
So I asked Meryl Lee Kowalski, who has been in love with me since she first laid eyes on me in the third grade—I'm just saying what she told me—I asked her to open my desk first. “How come?” she said. Sometimes even true love can be ...
