“All done,” I say.

“Thanks, Dolores,” Ben says, and I know he’s feeling a little better.

“Want to help me make a quick get-well card for Josh’s cat?” I ask.

“Sure!” he says, and we get to work. I write and Ben draws.

Dear Milo,

You are so cute and fluffy.

We are sorry your nose is stuffy!

Get better, okay?

Shalom,

Lola Levine +

Ben Levine

“I’m going to tape this to Josh’s backpack!” says Ben.

“Great idea,” I agree.

Chapter Five

Pencil Power

On Friday, I’m still Mean Lola Levine. I’m so glad when the final bell rings and it’s the weekend and I can just be with my family. I need a break from school. At least Ben’s in a better mood, I think, as he runs up to me with a big smile.

“Guess what, Lola?” Ben asks.

“Mira shared paints with you today?” I ask.

“No, something even better. It’s my turn to bring George home this weekend!” George is Ben’s class pet—a furry, cuddly guinea pig.

“Don’t tell Mira you like George better than her,” I say, laughing.

Ben grabs my hand. “Dad’s loading George into the car right now. Let’s go!” It’s hard to miss Dad across the parking lot loading a guinea pig into his orange car, what he calls his people mover.

“Hello, favorite humans!” Dad says as we climb into the car. I lean sideways and look into George’s cage, but he’s hiding in his little house and I can’t see him.

“I’ll help you take care of George,” I tell Ben. “I’m great with animals.”

“No way, Dolores!” says Ben. “He’s my class pet. He’s sleeping in my room, and I’m in charge!”

“Okay, okay,” I say, “but be careful. This is our chance to show Mom and Dad that we can handle a pet! A furry one.”

Ben snorts and puts in his mouth guard, so that’s the end of that conversation.
