At the end of the day, everyone grabbed their stuff and lined up at the door. Except me. I stayed at my desk. Trapped. Like the centipede.

“Is something wrong, Calvin?” Mr. Purdy asked.

“No, sir.” I dragged myself up and got in line.

“See you on Monday!” Mr. Purdy said.

The class burst out like ants from an ant hole.

I crept up to the door and peeked out.

No giant bodyguard, but Julio was there, waiting for me.

“You see Tito?”

“No.”

“Quick,” I said. “I got to get out of sight.”

Rubin was waiting for us by the chain-link fence behind the school. On the other side of the fence was a grassy field. I had to cross it. Then I had to make it past the intermediate school, where Tito had a lot of scary friends. After that, there were long, bushy, hiding-place streets all the way to our neighborhood.

We started across the field.

Julio grabbed my arm. “Hey! You forgot your centipede!”

“Forget it. We can give it a name and make it the class pet.”

“Fang,” Rubin said.

I shook my head. “Not Fang, Stanley.”

“Stanley,” Julio said. “Why Stanley?”
