Megan didn't like boys. They were such stupid creatures. Always leaving the toilet seat
up and smelling the rooms up with their special scent that made her want to gag. Mrs.
Hunter had the embarrassing idea for the class to send candy grams to each other.
Candy grams were little hand written messages attached to big lollipops. She really
wasn't expecting any and she didn't send any, not even one to herself. If she wanted a
lollipop she'd go to the Quiggly Mart after school.
Katie and Adam were passing out the pops from Mrs. Hunter's old Payless shoeboxes.
Weren't you supposed to go to school to learn and be smarter than your brothers?
And it's not like that required a lot of learning to get there, she thought.
"Looks like you got one, Megan." Katie handed her the lemon Charms lollipop.
Who on Earth would send her a candy gram? She wore if Boob and Boober had
anything to do with it she was going to make sure she did something painful to them
with Crazy Glue once she got home.
Megan opened up the pink (of course) heart shaped tag to find out who was
responsible for this:
Dear Megan,
Drums are cool…but your cooler
Neil
Neil Kramer who Drake thought was a young drum wizard? He couldn't even spell! She
looked behind her to see him pretending to be tying his shoelaces. She supposed it
was nice of him.
When she noticed Mrs. Hunter stepped out of the room probably to announce there was
another hobo in the classroom so she could get another fifteen minutes of a coffee
break, that's when Megan went up to Neil's desk.
"Hey."
"Hi, Megan."
"Why did you send me a candy gram?" She had to be the most mature girl in this whole
classroom because she certainly wasn't a nervous wad of a giggling mess like some of
the females in the class.
"Cause I wanted to."
"Oh. I don't care. I just wanted you to know that you spelled your wrong. It's y-o-u
apostrophe r-e. For future reference."
She went back to her desk leaving the poor young boy confused. Megan looked at the
calendar on the wall and remembered that Drake had a gig that night at the Brew Note.
It's not like she cared or anything, but she wondered if Neil was going to be there?
