10 Little Miss Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 10 Little Miss Not-So-Perfect When the bell rang, we all ran inside the school. Andrea looked like everything was normal. But I knew something was wrong. When she went running inside, Andrea didn't even ask for her necklace back. I put it in my pocket. And she wasn't acting normal either. As soon as we got into Mr. Granite's class, Little Miss Perfect put her feet up on her desk, leaned back in her chair, and put both of her hands behind her head. Andrea never sits that way. She always sits with her hands folded and her feet on the floor. "Andrea," said Mr. Granite, "sit correctly, please." "Make me," Andrea replied.*

Well, everybody's jaws dropped open. Andrea never says "Make me." "I beg your pardon, Andrea?" asked Mr. Granite. "I said, Make me!" Andrea shouted. "Why don't you clean the dirt out of your ears so you can hear?" "Oooooooooooooooooooooh!" everybody oooooohed. "Oh, snap!" said Ryan. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Andrea is usually such a big brownnoser. She never talks back to grown-ups.

"Are you feeling okay, Andrea?" asked Mr. Granite. "Do you know who you are?" "My name is Andrea, and I hate school," Andrea said. "Following rules is for losers." "Maybe you want to go see Mrs. Cooney, the school nurse," said Mr. Granite. "Maybe you need to lie down." "Maybe you need to shut your face!" said Andrea. "Oooooooooooooooooooooh!" everybody oooooohed.

"She's in a trance!" Emily shouted. "A.J. hypnotized her on the playground. And now she thinks she's a mean kid!" "You should shut your face, too," Andrea told Emily. "You're an annoying little crybaby." "Oooooooooooooooooooooh!" everybody oooooohed. Andrea suddenly got up, knocking her chair over. "I've had enough of this dump," she said. "I'm outta here!" Then she stormed out the door. It was the most amazing thing in the history of the world! And we got to see it live and in person. You should have been there! But what happened next was even more amazing. A few seconds after Andrea stormed out of the classroom… BRRRRING! BRRRRING! "Oh no!" Mr. Granite said. "What a

terrible time for a fire drill." "It's not a fire drill!" Ryan shouted. "I think Andrea pulled the fire alarm in the hall!" "We have to leave the building," Mr. Granite announced. "Everybody line up in single file. Michael, you're the door holder. Emily, you're the line leader." We all lined up and started filing out of the room. The other classes were in the hallway, too. "A.J., you've got to stop Andrea!" Michael whispered as we marched out of the building. "You're the one who hypnotized her." "What do you want me to do?" I asked. "You just have to snap your fingers and she'll come out of the trance," Neil the nude kid said. Neil was right. Me and the guys rushed

out onto the playground. The whole school was there. I looked all around for Andrea so I could snap my fingers and bring her out of the trance. But she was gone.
