Chapter 2. Terrifying News


GLORP!! GRUMPH WAKA NUK WAK!! The Arch Nemesis yelled. (Translation: Calvin! Stop that, or I'm going to take away your stupid little whap gun!)

Spiff is free! No longer will he have to be under the control of the Zok! I ran for the door. His mom ran after him, close at his heels. She grabbed Calvin's leg, tripping him.

No! No! I don't want to go to school! I don't need education! It's pointless! I can do what I want to do! Let me go! You're awful! What happens to freedom?! Calvin's mom ignored his tantrum.

You're going to be late! The bus is coming! His mom kicked him out of the house.

Calvin reluctantly walked over to the bus stop, grumbling all the way. The bus had already come, and the door opened just as he arrived.

Hi Calvin! Calvin looked up to see Susie Derkins entering the bus.

Calvin muttered with a sour look on his face.

You weirdo. Susie rolled her eyes. Did you finish your book report for the contest? Miss Wormwood said that she'd give a prize to the person who wrote the best book report!

Calvin's Point of View

I shook with horror at Susie's words. I'd forgotten about the report! GAAA! I definitely do not want to hear any of Susie's lectures.

Of course, I've wrote a 10 pages report on Hop on Pop! I declared proudly (But not so proudly inside) as I fell into the back seat, where nobody was sitting. Here I would work on my paper, with the 20 minutes drive left. Why am I doing this? Look, once in a while, I SHOULD get a C or B, since Mom and Dad think it's so rare of me to get a grade like that. Hopefully they'll get me a Nuclear Bomb I asked Santa to get me on Christmas. He doesn't ever seem to get my mail anymore. Not even when I was good for a whole week! A WHOLE WEEK!

I finally completed the Exhausting report, and here's what it looks like:

Pretty impressive isn't it? I finished it just as the bus reached school. I filed it in some old dirty smashed file I found in my bag. Miss Wormwood would definitely have to fall for this one. I doubt she's even read Hop and Pop before. Well, I haven't either, that's why my report is so good! It shows how I can put two and two together from the title and find out what happened in the story!
