It was time for morning recess.

Miss Hartman’s class flew out the side door.

“Jimmy’s a smart one,” Dee Dee said. “He’s wearing green, after all.”

“Whose side are you on?” asked Carly.

Dee Dee didn’t say anything. She rubbed her ear.

Carly stared at her.

“Not nice to stare,” Dee Dee said.

“I wanna know whose side you’re on,” Carly said.

Dee Dee sniffed. But she didn’t talk.

“Aw, c’mon,” Carly pleaded. “Talk to me.”

Dee Dee shook her head. “Only if you fix things up.”

“With who?” Carly asked.

“You know who,” Dee Dee said. “Start treatin’ your brother nicer!”

Carly felt a fuss face coming. “You can’t tell me what to do, Dee Dee Winters!”

She dashed to the swings.

Dee Dee ran the opposite way. She went in Miss Hartman’s classroom door.

“You’re a squealer,” Carly said out loud. She stamped her foot.

“Who’s tattling?”

Carly turned her head.

There stood Abby and Stacy.

“Are you fussing with Dee Dee?” Abby said.

Carly pouted. “Nobody’s business.”

Abby sat on the swing next to her. “You look pretty today,” she said. “I like your green polka-dot skirt.”

Carly shook her head. “I know what you’re doing,” she said. “I’m no dummy.”

“Didn’t say you were,” Abby told her.

“So why are you saying I look pretty?” Carly asked.

“Listen to me,” her big sister said. “You’re the Student of the Week, right?”

Carly nodded. She bit her lower lip. “Guess you don’t think I oughta be.”

Stacy stepped up. She leaned too close to Carly’s face. “Abby didn’t mean that. You’re a good citizen, Carly.”

“Just not a perfect citizen,” said Carly.

Abby scratched her head. “Don’t say that.”

Stacy glanced at Abby and lifted her shoulders. “Here comes someone,” she said.

Carly looked up. Dee Dee was coming toward them.

“Hey, look, she’s smiling,” Abby said.

“It’s a Sour-Pie smile,” said Carly. “I know a squealer when I see one!”
