Peter began to shake his head.

Mitchell puffed out his cheek one more time. “We’ll think about it.”

“Think hard,” she said.

CHAPTER 6

TUESDAY—FIELD TRIP DAY

Bus Thirteen pulled up in front of the Afternoon Center. It was the worst one. It always had smoke coming out the back.

Gina was out the door. She walked right behind Mrs. Farelli in her auditorium-colored dress.

Today they were going to see Madam Ballantine in her play.

It would be a long ride. They were having snacks on the way. Purple yogurt.

Gina carried her mother’s huge purple purse. Just in case! It would cover every single yogurt dot.

It had a bunch of other things, too:

A writing pad for helping Peter and Mitchell.

A pencil with the sharpest point in the world.

A brand-new eraser that smelled like orange juice.

And a dollar for just-in-case.

Destiny rushed past. Gina knew she wanted to sit next to the bus driver. It was the woman who looked just like Charlie.

Charlie came along next. He was carrying a paper bag. It was dripping a little.

“It’s for my Wet-O Dry-O invention,” he said. “I want to see how long it takes for water to disappear.”

Gina stepped back so Sumiko could go next.

“Thanks,” Sumiko said.

“Don’t worry,” Gina said. “I’m waiting for Peter and Mitchell.”

Mitchell was last.

That made her last, too.

“Where’s Peter?” she asked.

“Home with double earaches,” Mitchell said.

They had to sit in seats at the back. Not a great spot.
