Henry’s feelings were mixed. He was glad to have support from Beezus, and at the same time he wished she would keep out of the quarrel. He did not want the whole school teasing him about a girl.

“So there!” said Beezus, and stamped her foot at Scooter.

Plainly Scooter did not like being picked on by a girl.“Just the same,” he said,“Henry better—” The bell rang, and Scooter stopped. The crowd broke up and the boys and girls began to make their way into the school building.

“Just the same,” muttered Henry, “we’ll see whose room wins the old paper drive.”

He was not sure whether Scooter had heard him or not, but he hoped he had.

“Beezus likes Henry,” someone chanted.

“Beezus likes Henry!”

Hanging around.The unpleasant sound of the words still rang in Henry’s ears. They made him feel like someone who was in the way, a nuisance. That was the last thing he wanted to be. He only wanted a chance to show Mr. Capper that he was a good businessman. Well, that chance was gone now. Even if Scooter got over being mad, Henry knew that he would never go back to Mr. Capper’s garage again.

Aw, I didn’t want an old route, anyway, Henry tried to persuade himself. But he could not make himself believe it.
