7 The Big Rap Battle

7 The Big Rap Battle IT WAS ANDREA! I almost didn't recognize her at first. Andrea wasn't dressed in one of her fancy party outfits like I expected. No, she was wearing baggy sweatpants, a backward baseball cap, and a

sweatshirt that said QUEEN OF RAP on it. And she didn't have her poetry book with her. Andrea jumped up on the stage and grabbed one of the microphones. "GIMME A BEAT!" she shouted. Ryan and Michael looked at each other, shrugged, and started beatboxing. Uncle Fred pounded out a thumping rhythm on his organ. That's when Andrea started rapping!* My name is Andrea, and I love school. The A is for Andrea. Of course, you fool! Everybody's jaws dropped. Eyes were bugging out of people's heads. I thought Mrs. Stoker and Ms. Coco were going to faint. Andrea kept rapping.

Sure, I'm smart. You want proof? My reading scores are through the roof. I think that it's really cool to take classes after school. You may think it's kind of scary that I read the dictionary. But I know that I'm the best, because I ace every test. Did I mention I pay attention? That's why I don't get detention! I didn't know that Andrea could rap! Everybody started bopping and bobbing their heads up and down. Everybody except me. A.J. says that school's a bummer. I like it so much I'd go in the summer. He thinks that I'm so girly, because I turn my work in early. That makes me the teacher's pet. He doesn't know the alphabet. He calls me a know-it-all. In fact, his brain is kinda small!

"Oh, snap!" Ryan said to me. "Andrea just said you have a small brain!" "Are you gonna take that, A.J.?" asked Michael. No way! I jumped up on the stage and grabbed the other microphone. The crowd went wild. "I rap the best words, nerds!" I shouted. "GIMME A BEAT!" Andrea thinks my brain is small? She doesn't have a brain at all! You're the one who's gonna fall 'cause you and me are gonna brawl! Don't try to match me. You'll never catch me. I guarantee that nobody writes poetry quite like me! "It's a rap battle!" somebody shouted. Kids were stamping their feet and waving their hands in the air. "FRAN-KEN-RHYME," they all started chanting. "FRAN-KEN-RHYME!" Andrea

shoved me aside and ran over to the front of the stage. I'm gonna tell you where it's at. I bet A.J. can't spell CAT. We learn stuff, and he'll forget it. Meanwhile, I get extra credit. A.J., you can barely stand up. Me, I always have my hand up. Think it's nutty that I study? You waste time with your buddies. I learn so much more than you. And someday, I'm gonna earn more than you! "QUEEN OF RAP!" kids started chanting. "QUEEN OF RAP!" I pushed her aside and rapped: Andrea's just a wannabe who hangs out in the library! "Oh, yeah?" Andrea shouted. Well, listen to this..." You walk around in a daze, but I'm the one who gets straight A's!
