5 Ch5-The Love Machine

Chapter 5 The Love Machine I don't know if the school was really floating, but the L word was definitely in the air the day before Valentine's Day. In art class. Ms. Hannah had us cut big hearts out of red paper to put all over the hallways. In music class, Mr. Loring had us sing love songs. The lunch lady,

Ms. LaGrange, made us heart-shaped Tater Tots. In the library, Mrs. Roopy dressed up like Cupid and read us a book about Valentine's Day in other countries. Did you know that in Slovenia birds get mar- ried to each other? And in Korea on April 14 men who didn't get a present on Valentine's Day gather together and eat noodles. Other countries are weird.

That afternoon we had computer class with Mrs. Yonkers, who is a genius. One time she invented a computer that turned vegetables into junk food. She should get the No Bell Prize. That's a prize they give to people who don't have bells. Mrs. Yonkers told us that she worked all weekend on a new invention called the Love Machine. "What does it do?" Andrea asked. "It reads brain waves," Mrs. Yonkers said, "and it shows what you love and what you hate." We all wanted to try the Love Machine. Michael got to go first, because he was

sitting with his hands folded. Mrs. Yonkers attached some wires to his head and turned on the Love Machine. "I... LOVE... FOOTBALL!" said a com- putery voice. "I HATE... GOING TO THE DENTIST." Wow! The Love Machine really worked! Michael does love football, and I know he hates going to the dentist. Mrs. Yonkers took the wires off Michael's head and attached them to Ryan's head. "I HATE... GETTING SHOTS," the voice said. "I... LOVE... BROCCOLI." Wow! Ryan really does love broccoli. He's weird. Andrea got to go next. Mrs. Yonkers

hooked the wires up to her head. "I HATE... MEAN PEOPLE," said the voice. "I... LOVE... SCHOOL." What a sick, twisted mind Andrea has! Mrs. Yonkers called on me next. She stuck the wires to my head. They felt cold. "We know what A.J. loves," Ryan said. "Skateboarding... video games... dirt bikes... football..." "I HATE... SCHOOL," the voice sud- denly said. "I... LOVE... ANDREA." WHAT??????????????????? "Oooooh!" everybody went. "That thing is busted!" I told Mrs. Yonkers. "I want a do over!"
