“What’s going on?” says Mrs. Larson.

“Lily cut off half her eyebrow, and she didn’t want to go on SHTV,” Darby says. “So I wanted to help her by going in her place, but then I messed up.”

Mrs. Larson looks at the Band-Aid on my face, and she kind of smiles. “Lily? Is that what happened?” she asks.

“Yes,” I say.

“Okay, well, let’s not play any more switching games, all right?”

“Okay,” we both say.

“You two are quite a pair,” says Mrs. Larson. “Now, please take your seats.”

Everyone giggles as we sit down. I want to cry. This is the worst day, the worst school, the worst everything ever. Until recess — when things get even worse! Everyone is teasing me on the playground.

“Lily Lattuga can’t read! Lily Lattuga can’t read!”

Even the kindergartners are laughing at me, and they can’t read! Then Jill puts her finger and thumb in her mouth and does one of those extremely loud whistles that get everyone’s attention. Amazingly, everyone stops and looks at her. Even kids who weren’t paying attention in the first place.

Jill starts talking with her silly accent, pronouncing every word slowly. “Leave Lily be, you cheeky little monkeys. Don’t you have anything better to do? You’re all right idiots. Now go! Get back to your little games!”

Everyone runs away, except for Mrs. ’Stache, who waddles up behind Jill. “What’s going on here?” she shouts, spit flying from her mouth.

“Oh, it’s just a tiny kerfuffle, Mrs. Rash,” Jill tells her sweetly. “No worries.” Mrs. ’Stache smiles. I’ve never seen her do that before.

“Okay, then,” she says. “Just have a good recess and stay out of trouble.” Wow, Jill can charm anyone!
