I stomped to his desk and I grabbed back the note.

Then I stuffed it into my backpack.

And I sat down at my desk.

And I wrote in my journal one more time.

That night at dinner, I couldn't swallow my meatball. ’Cause how can you swallow a meatball when there's a note from your teacher in your pocket?

Mother kept on looking at my plate.

“What's the trouble with you tonight, honey?” she asked. “You love spaghetti and meatballs.”

I picked up my fork real slow.

Then I put it right down again.

“Is something wrong, Junie B.?” asked Daddy. “Are you sick?”

I got down from my chair. And I stood by the table.

Then I hanged my head. And very slow, I took the note out of my pocket.

“I did something bad at school today,” I said real glum. “And so there's something I have to give you.”

I rocked back and forth on my feet for a minute.

Then I quick threw the note on the table.

And I ran to my room as fast as I could!

I shut the door real hard.

Then I ran around and around in circles. ’Cause I didn't actually have a plan, that's why.

My stuffed animals looked shocked at me.

What's wrong, Junie B.? said my Raggedy Ann named Ruth. Are you in trouble?

Of course she's in trouble, said my Raggedy Andy named Larry. Can't you tell? I bet Mother and Daddy are going to be running in here any second.

My elephant named Philip Johnny Bob did fast thinking.

Hide, Junie B.! he told me. Hide in the closet until they calm theirselves down.

I nodded at that good idea.

Elephants are the smartest stuffed animals there is.

After that, I quick grabbed him by his foot. And we ran into my closet.

We climbed over shoes and games. Then we scrunched way down in the corner.

Pretty soon, we heard Mother and Daddy come in my room.

Our hearts started to pound and pound.

Then we tried to scrunch even smaller. Only too bad for us. Because Philip Johnny Bob accidentally knocked over a shoe box. And it made a loud crashing sound.
