Then another voice came from inside the building. My hand crept instinctively toward my pocket, where I kept my lethal ballpoint pen, Riptide. They were blocking the entrance, smiling in a not-very-friendly way. That sent a major Uh-oh chill down my back. Anyway, she stood so close I got the feeling she was going to try to push me down the steps. She smelled like roses and something else I recognized from riding lessons at camp-the scent of freshly washed horses. I studied the stitching on her uniform and made out Kelli. The other girl stepped uncomfortably close to me. вЂњYou are so going to love it.вЂќД«ut as she looked me up and down, her expression said something more like, Eww, who is this loser?

Both girls had their names stitched in cursive on their uniforms, but with my dyslexia, the words looked like meaningless spaghetti. The other was African American with dark curly hair like MedusaвЂ™s (and believe me, I know what IвЂ™m talking about). вЂњHi!вЂќ They smiled, which I figured was the first and last time any cheerleaders would be that friendly to me. Two cheerleaders in purple-and-white uniforms were standing at the side entrance, waiting to ambush freshmen. Sneaking into orientation didnвЂ™t work out too well. I was about to find out my luck could get a lot worse. What was she doing here? Not even my luck could be this bad. My mom started to say something, but I got out of the car and ran, hoping the redheaded girl wouldnвЂ™t see me. When she turned, I caught a glimpse of her face, and the hairs on my arms stood straight up. She wore a maroon T-shirt and ratty jeans decorated with marker drawings. Paul Blofis was greeting a girl with frizzy red hair. I was about to get out of the car when I looked over the steps of the school. She held up her hands in surrender, but I could tell she was trying hard not to smile. вЂњSheвЂ™s coming all the way from camp to meet you.вЂќ Tomorrow youвЂ™re off to camp! After orientation, youвЂ™ve got your date-вЂќ вЂњI can get expelled before I start the school year.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m sure orientation will be fine, Percy, ItвЂ™s only one morning.вЂќ вЂњI thought we should wait,вЂќ she admitted. She was dressed up for a job interview-her best blue dress and high-heeled shoes. She tapped her fingers nervously on the wheel. вЂњYou havenвЂ™t told him the truth about me, have you? IвЂ™d tried to warn him it wasnвЂ™t a good idea, but he wouldnвЂ™t listen. HeвЂ™d managed to convince Goode High School to accept me for ninth grade, despite the fact that IвЂ™d gotten kicked out of every school IвЂ™d ever attended.

With his salt-and-pepper hair, denim clothes, and leather jacket, he reminded me of a TV actor, but he was just an English teacher. Paul Blofis, my momвЂ™s boyfriend, was standing out front, greeting future ninth graders as they came up the steps. And remember, dear, this is PaulвЂ™s school. вЂњJust relax.вЂќ My mom didnвЂ™t sound relaxed. Staring up at the fancy stone archway, I wondered how long it would take me to get kicked out of this place. A bunch of BMWs and Lincoln Town Cars were parked out front.

Goode was this big brownstone building overlooking the East River. But there I was Monday morning, the first week of June, sitting in my momвЂ™s car in front of Goode High School on East 81st. The last thing I wanted to do on my summer break was blow up another school.
