14 The Big Surprise Ending That Will

Chapter 14 The Big Surprise Ending That Will Completely Shock You, Unless You Already Guessed It The judge left, and we all helped Mr. Granite crawl out from the pile of sand. He brushed off his pants. "Are you okay?" we all asked. "Yes, I believe I am okay," Mr. Granite said. "I certainly am lucky this sand castle was here to cushion my fall." "Maybe you better go back to Australia," I told him. "Mr. Sunny is really mad. He might try to beat you up." "I cannot leave," Mr. Granite said. "I need to stay here for at least a year."

"Why?" Ryan asked. "I got a job in America, mate," he replied. "What do you do?" asked Andrea. "I'm a teacher," Mr. Granite said. "Oh, really?" asked Andrea. "What grade?" "I teach third grade," Mr. Granite said. "Hey, we're going into third grade in September!" Michael said. "What school will you be teaching at?" asked Neil.

"It has an odd name," Mr. Granite told us. "It's called Ella Mentry School." WHAT??????!!!!!!! "That's our school!" I said. "You're going to be our teacher?" "OH NO!" we all shouted. Maybe Mr. Granite will be better at teaching than he is at parasailing. Maybe he'll stop popping up in weird places for no reason. Maybe Mr. Sunny will stop talking to sand and learn how to swim. Maybe he'll build a new sand castle. Maybe Andrea will stop talking that Shakespeare talk. Maybe she'll fall in love with some other lifeguard and stop annoying me. Maybe that shark will come back to try and eat Andrea's pizza in her stomach. Maybe people will stop drowning so I won't have to give them mouth-to-mouth resuscitation anymore.

Maybe the guys will stop teasing me about being in love with Andrea. Maybe I'll make it through the rest of the summer without any other weird things happening. But it won't be easy!*
