By the end of morning break, the whole school knew about the lunchbox incident. And, to make things worse, Miss Bruce gave Joe extra homework as punishment! Dumpling had nodded off in Joe’s bag, but the lunch bell woke him up and he started wriggling around impatiently.

“There’s Oliver!” squeaked Dumpling, as soon as they went into the dinner hall.

Joe took a deep breath. Talking to Oliver without his friends thinking he’d gone crazy was not going to be easy. Older children never ate lunch with the younger kids. Joe saw Matt and his other mates wave to him from their usual table. He waved back, but kept on walking. He went over to where Toby and Oliver were sitting with a couple of other boys and pulled up a chair. “Hi,” he said, feeling very silly.

Toby smiled in surprise.

The other two boys at the table nudged each other. “Is it true you pinched Mr Hill’s lunch?” said one.

“Er …sort of,” said Joe, his face turning red.

“Cool!” said Oliver, grinning.

Toby beamed, too.

“Talk to Oliver! Talk to Oliver!” squeaked Dumpling, who was bouncing up and down on top of Joe’s lunchbox. “Ask him about me!”

“Yeah, well, I needed a snack to keep me going,” Joe pretended to yawn, “because I’m so tired. I was up all night working on my school project about …er …hamsters.”
