“Wiggie?” cried Dudwin. “Are you all right?”

“Uuggh,” Wiglaf groaned.

Grock glared at Erica.

“Ye wounded me!” he cried. “Look.” Grock rolled up his sleeve and showed everyone the back of his arm. There was a tiny bump on it no bigger than a bug bite. It wasn’t even bleeding.

“You’ll live, Grock,” said Erica.

“Yah,” said Grock. “But it hurts!” He looked as if he were about to cry.

The end-of-class bell rang.

“Till tomorrow, lads and lasses,” Sir Mort called as his students trailed out of the classroom. “I’ll show you how I plan to slay Bubbles with the old sword-and-dagger switcheroo. Excellent way to confuse a dragon. Works every time.”

Angus steadied Wiglaf and helped him out of class. Grock stuck by Wiglaf’s other side.

“I was only trying to help ye see the dragon, buddy,” he said.

“I don’t believe that,” Wiglaf managed.

“Yah, really, I was,” said the troll. “Don’t ye trust me, buddy?”

Wiglaf had felt sorry for Grock, the lone troll at DSA. He had tried to be his friend, to be a good buddy. But did he trust the troll?

“No, I don’t trust you, Grock,” Wiglaf said.

“I don’t trust you, either,” said Angus.

Grock grinned. “Good move,” he said, and he ran off, laughing.

Wiglaf had fallen into Stinking Green Creek and nearly drowned. He had been held in a dragon’s paw and nearly squeezed to death. But as he walked down the East Tower stairs, he thought that being around Grock was even worse. The troll had made Wiglaf look like a great big fool.
