Class Party Trickery

All the other fifth graders were already at school having fun when we arrived. The playground had been transformed into a water park … kind of. Two of the sprinklers were on, a big waterslide had been set up, and there was a huge Slip ’N Slide mat on the hill by the side fence. Everybody was wet and almost everybody was yelling or squealing.

As we walked through the gate, two boys in our class heaved water balloons at us. They missed, and Ms. Higgins, our mostly terrific teacher, warned them she was going to be setting up the dessert table, and it was off-limits to water balloons. “So cool it right now!” Goon and her supposed boyfriend Kevin Welch, whom I do not like, were sitting at the table. I ignored them and walked toward the playground.

About one minute later, nearly all the boys and a few of the girls were gathered around us listening to how Georgie and I were almost just arrested for littering. Georgie waved his arms all around like G. J. Prott’s neighbor lady while I told the story. Everybody seemed shocked when we told them that Officer Crompton knows every kid in town by sight, except for Glenn Philips, who said that with over four thousand kids in Gloucester schools, “Such a feat of memory is entirely unlikely.” Then Mrs. Crespo told Georgie and me to get our tickets for the drawing because the prize would be forty dollars’ worth of pizza and stuff at the best pizza place in town.

We went over to the dessert table, where Ms. Higgins was putting out the goodies. Kevin and Goon sat at the end. He was holding the roll of red tickets for the party’s prize drawing. She was just sitting. He tore off two tickets, removed our stubs and set them on the table, and handed our tickets to us.
