They bumped into each other and collapsed on the floor, in fits of giggles.

“Ha ha! Hee hee!” snorted Darren. “If only people at school could see this!”

“They can,” said Bertie.

Darren looked at him. “How do you mean?”

“That’s why we need the camera, dimbo!” said Bertie. “To take a picture of Miss Boot dancing like a fruitcake.”

It took a moment for Darren to get it. His face broke into a huge grin.

“Wicked!” he cried. “Wait till we show Eugene.”

“We could pin it up in class,” said Bertie.

“It’ll be the best joke ever!”

“It’ll go down in history!”

Imagine Miss Boot’s face when she saw herself. There was only one small problem.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The music thumped on. It was no use standing there arguing. If they waited too long the class would end and they’d lose their chance. One of them had to risk it and clearly it wasn’t going to be Darren.

Bertie sighed and put up his hood. Why was it always him?

Darren handed him the camera. “Just press this button,” he said. “It’s dead easy.”

Bertie took a last look through the window. The Zumba class seemed to be working up a sweat. Miss Boot’s face had gone purple. She looked as if she might pass out. Bertie took a deep breath. Here goes…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The music thumped louder as Darren opened the door.

Bertie dashed in, keeping his head down, and raised the camera. The class had their backs to him. But at that moment Miss Boot spun round. Her mouth gaped open like a fish…
