BEAN, QUEEN OF BAD

In Mrs. Trantz’s yard, there were two rows of rosebushes, one on either side of the front path. Each rosebush had a little circle of dirt to live in. Each circle of dirt had a tiny white fence around it and then a sea of sparkly white rocks stretching out around that. Sometimes Mrs. Trantz came outside and washed her front path. Sometimes she even washed her rocks. Mrs. Trantz liked things to be very clean. When she saw dirt, her face shriveled into a frown. When she saw children, her eyes narrowed into tiny slivers. When she saw dirty children, her frown sucked her lips all the way inside her mouth and her eyes slivered into nothing. She frowned so hard her face went away.

Bean drove Mrs. Trantz crazy. She didn’t try to; she just did. Every time Bean walked by Mrs. Trantz’s house, one of the tiny white fences circling around the rosebushes fell over. Bean didn’t know how it happened. Then Mrs. Trantz would call Bean’s mother and say that Bean was destructive. That meant she wrecked things.

Bean didn’t know quite what she was going to do to Mrs. Trantz’s yard, but it wouldn’t be boring, that was for sure. She stood in front of the stiff rosebushes and looked carefully to see if Mrs. Trantz was peeking from behind her curtains. The coast was clear.

“Do something!” yelled Dino. “This is boring!”

Boring! Bean would show him!

She leaned over the tiny white fence and brought her face close to a rose. And then she spit on it as hard as she could.
