12. The Next Day at School

12 The Next Day at School

第12章第二天上学

That's all I remember. I woke up covered in sweat. The clock at my bedside said it was seven o'clock, which was weird because I never had a clock at my bedside. I wonder where that clock came from. I looked around. Everything seemed normal. There was no evidence that all those ghosts had visited me during the night. "A.J.!" my mom called from downstairs. "It's time to get up for school." "I don't feel good, Mom," I said. "Can I stay home today?" "Oh, you say that every day, silly!" my mother replied. I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed. I went downstairs to eat breakfast and rode my bike to school. The first person I saw when I got to class was Andrea. She was putting her backpack

我只记得这些。我醒来时满身是汗。 我床边的闹钟显示现在是七点，这很奇怪，因为我床边从来没有闹钟。 我想知道那个钟是从哪儿来的。 我环顾四周。一切似乎都很正常。 没有证据表明所有那些鬼魂都在夜里来找过我。 “a。j。”我妈妈在楼下喊道。 “该起床上学了。” “我感觉不舒服，妈妈，”我说。 “我今天可以待在家里吗？”“哦，你每天都这么说，笨蛋！” 我从床上爬起来，穿好衣服。 我下楼吃早饭，然后骑自行车去上学。 我到教室看到的第一个人是安德里亚。 她在放她的背包

into her cubby. "Good morning, Arlo," Andrea said cheerfully. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed in horror. "Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" "What is your problem?" Andrea asked. "All I said was good morning." I went over to the guys, hoping Andrea wouldn't follow me. "Are you okay, dude?" Ryan asked me. "You look like you've seen a ghost." "I did," I told him. "I feel sick. I think I need to go to the nurse's office."

进她的小房间。“早上好，阿乐。”安德烈高兴地说。 “Ahhhhhhhhhhh !”我惊恐地尖叫起来。 “别碰我！”放开我！”“你怎么了？”安德里亚问道。 “我只是说早上好。” 我走过去，希望安德里亚不会跟着我。 “你还好吗，伙计？”瑞恩问我。 “你看起来像见了鬼一样。” “是的，”我告诉他。“我觉得不舒服。 我想我得去一下护士办公室。”

That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. Our school nurse, Mrs. Cooney, was walking by our classroom. "Did somebody say the word 'sick'?" she asked excitedly. Mrs. Cooney loves it when kids get sick. If kids didn't get sick, she wouldn't have a job.

就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 我们的校护士库尼夫人正经过我们的教室。 “有人说了‘生病’这个词吗？”她兴奋地问。 库尼太太最喜欢孩子生病了。 如果孩子们不生病，她就不会有工作。

"A.J. thinks he's sick," said Michael. Mrs. Cooney pulled a thermometer out of her pocket. "Say ah," she said, poking the thermometer into my mouth. It took a million hundred seconds for the thermometer to beep. Finally it did, and Mrs. Cooney looked at it. "Ninety-eight point six," she said. "Perfectly normal. You're fine, A.J." "Arlo is faking it," Andrea told Mrs. Cooney. "He just wants to get out of school. Arlo does that all the time. But he is really sick—sick in the head!" "Oh, snap!" said Ryan. "Andrea said you're sick in the head! Are you gonna take that, A.J.?"

“A.J.觉得自己病了，”迈克尔说。 库尼太太从口袋里掏出一支体温计。 “说啊，”她说着，把体温计插进我嘴里。 温度计用了一百万分之一秒才发出哔哔声。 终于，它来了，库尼太太看了看。 “98.6，”她说。 “完全正常。你很好，A.J.。” “阿乐在装，”安德烈告诉库尼太太。 “他只想离开学校。 阿乐总是这样。 但他真的病了——病得很厉害！”“哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。 “安德里亚说你脑子有病！你要接吗，aj "

I looked at Andrea. She had her hands on her hips. When girls put their hands on their hips, it means they're mad. Nobody knows why. "Aren't you going to say something mean back to Andrea?" asked Neil. "Yeah, A.J.," said Michael. "Aren't you going to say something mean back to Andrea?"

我看着安德里亚。她双手叉腰。 当女孩把手放在屁股上时，就说明她们疯了。 没人知道为什么。尼尔问：“你不打算对安德里亚说些刻薄的话吗？” “是的，a.j.，”迈克尔说。 “你不打算对安德里亚说些刻薄的话吗？”
