7 Ch7-Fighting Evil Under the Bus

Chapter 7 Fighting Evil Under the Bus Finally we were back on the road. Mrs. Kormel was mad at Mr. Klutz for making her drive to the nude kid's house for nothing. I was mad because we would be at school soon. Andrea was mad because spelling was over and she didn't get the chance to take the big spelling test and

show everybody how smart she was. Well, nah-nah-nah boo-boo on Andrea! She would go to school on the weekend if it was open. The rain stopped. I was getting hungry. We had missed snack time. It was proba- bly close to lunchtime. We were bored, too, and sick of sitting on the bus. Ryan flipped his light switch on and off. Michael played with his ball of string. I played with Striker Smith. That's when I got the most genius idea in the history of the world! We could tie Michael's string

to Striker Smith's leg and fly him out the window! Michael and Ryan realized what a genius I was. We tied the string to Striker Smith and opened the window. "You're going to get in trou- ble, A.J.," said Andrea. "We're not supposed to hold things out the window." "Can you possibly be any more boring?"

I asked Andrea. "We're not holding any- thing out the window. The string will hold him." Ryan tossed Striker Smith out the window. "Look!" Ryan said. "He's flying!" It was cool. Striker Smith was doing loops in the air. You should have been there. "He's fighting evil outside the bus!" said Michael. "Mrs. Kormel!" Andrea whined. "A.J. threw his doll out the window!" "It's not a doll!" I told Andrea. "It's an action figure. And it's none of your beeswax." What is her problem?

It didn't matter what Andrea said, because Mrs. Kormel didn't hear her anyway. Striker Smith was flying outside the bus, dipping and diving in the wind. He is so cool. The only problem was that suddenly Striker Smith dove down so far that we couldn't see him anymore. "Where is he?" asked Ryan. "He's fighting evil under the bus," I said. But I don't think Striker Smith was fighting evil under the bus. Because that's when I heard a pop, and then a hissing sound. Hisssssssss!
