CHAPTER 6

THURSDAY

Mitchell stopped at the kindergarten shelf. He saw Clifton’s mask. The mask had big teeth. There was a big C on one tooth. There was a D on the other.

But where was Trevor’s mask?

Mitchell had to find it before Peter Petway found out he had lost it.

It wasn’t on the stairs.

Maybe it was in the schoolyard.

Too bad it was raining outside. The Zelda A. Zigzag School smelled like his dog, Maggie.

Mitchell took another sniff. It smelled a little like his old school, too.

It was time to search. But now his raincoat had disappeared.

He never could find anything! Angel was right about that!

He’d go outside to look anyway.

He’d have to skip Homework Help. He’d have to skip Ellie with her three freckles.

What about snack?

He couldn’t skip that. He’d have a hole in his stomach.

Mitchell dashed to the lunchroom. He was fast enough to be first in line for leftover pizza.

Habib was right behind him. They looked out the windows.

Habib twirled his hand around. “It’s dark out there. Windy. It looks like a—a what-do-you-call-it?”

Mitchell frowned. “Something like a tomato.” Wasn’t that a big wind that carried people away?

Never mind. He still had to go outside. He had to find that mask.

He took a bite of pizza. It looked like cardboard. It tasted like cardboard, too.

“Could I have the pizza box?” Mitchell asked the lunch lady.

She tucked one ear in her shower cap. She handed him the box.

Mitchell took another pizza slice.

He went up the stairs and opened the door.

Wow! It was raining hard. He could hardly see the schoolyard. Maybe there was a flood. He might drown.

He went out anyway.

“Yeow.” He held the box over his head. It made an almost-umbrella. He took a bite of pizza.

He splashed through the giant puddles. He looked for the mask. It wasn’t in the playground area. It wasn’t near the windows.
