9 Ch9-The Truth About Ms. Todd

Chapter 9 The Truth About Ms. Todd After Ms. Todd ran away, none of us said anything for a million hundred seconds. I had never heard of a sub who freaked out and went nuts before. And we got to see it live and in person. But now that killer robot clone was on the loose. If we chased her out

of school and around the parking lot, though, we'd be in big trouble. That's when I thought of something. Ms. Todd forgot to take that piece of paper she was always writing on! I could grab it and hide it so nobody would ever know about all the bad stuff I did while we had a sub. What a genius idea. No wonder I'm gifted and talented. I went over to Miss Daisy's desk. "You better leave that paper alone, A.J.," said Andrea. "Mind your own beeswax, Andrea." I found the piece of paper Ms. Todd had been writing on.

"You're going to be in big trouble, A.J.," said Andrea, I picked up the piece of paper. "I'm telling, A.J.," said Andrea. I looked at the piece of paper. All the other kids got out of their seats and gathered around me. Even Andrea. This is what the piece of paper said....

I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. This is what it said: TITLE: My wacky School By Arlene Todd CHARACTERS: Boy who hates school, Smart girl, BEGINNING: Sub arrives, Kids cough when she turns her back. Kids switch names to confuse sub. Kids tease each other. Kids are annoying. MIDDLE: Kids call each other "dumbhead." Teacher says she reads all the time, See who can hit the

softest, Kid would throw chocolate cones away because he likes mint chip, Picture of alien spaceships attacking school, Contest to see who can be the least competitive. Sub isn't sure she can make it through the day, ENDING: "Hey," I said, "this isn't a report for Miss Daisy!" "Of course not, dumbhead!" said Andrea. "Ms. Todd was writing a children's book! She was going to call it My Wacky School! And it was going to be about our

class! We could have been famous! You messed it up, A.J. Now, thanks to you, everything is ruined." "So is your face," I said. Well, maybe Ms. Todd wasn't a robot after all. But she was a terrible teacher. And she murdered Miss Daisy, who was nice. I wouldn't want to be in some dumb children's book anyway.
