burst out laughing in the hall. I knew it was Daisy and DeWayne.
Mrs. Hardesty leaped up from behind her desk. She strode to the classroom door and dragged my two friends in.
DeWayne plopped down next to me, shaking his head.
Daisy didn’t look too happy, either. She never gets in trouble. She has this cute, innocent look. Curly carrot-colored hair, lots of freckles, and dimples in her cheeks even when she isn’t smiling. So everyone thinks she’s totally sweet and adorable.
Of course, I know better. I know she has a wicked-cold sense of humor. She could be a big problem child like me — if she put her mind to it.
“We didn’t do anything,” Daisy told Mrs. Hardesty. “Why do we have to stay?”
The teacher waved for Daisy to sit down. Then she frowned at us one by one.
“You three need an attitude change,” she said. She rubbed her pointed chin. “I think I know what will help.”
“Me, too,” I said. “Wrestling practice will help me. It’ll change my attitude. Really.”
DeWayne grinned at Mrs. Hardesty. “I got an A in Attitude last semester,” he said. “You can check it out.”
Mrs. Hardesty rolled her eyes. “We don’t grade for attitude,” she muttered.
DeWayne squinted at her. “You sure?”
He was goofing on her. But she never got a joke.
“I know what will help you,” Mrs. H repeated. “Some honest work.”
All three of us groaned.
“I’ll give you a choice,” she said. “You can stay two hours after school every day for a week.”
We groaned again, louder.
“Or you can do some community service,” Mrs. H said.
We stared blankly at her. I had a sudden urge to take out my dog whistle and make the shade fly up again.
“I have a project that’s perfect for you three,” Mrs. Hardesty said. “It’s in the lot right by my house. You can come on Saturday.”
“I can’t,” I said. “My dad is taking me to the big computer tech show. I —”
“I can’t,” Daisy said. “I have my tennis lesson, and —”
“Saturday,” Mrs. Hardesty insisted. “No excuses.”
The three of us started complaining to each other.
“Listen up,” Mrs. Hardesty said. “This is important. Be sure to wear work clothes on Saturday. And you’d better bring nose plugs.”
Huh?
Nose plugs?
What did she want us to
do
on Saturday?
