Here's the penultimate chapter.

I came out from under the desk 'cause I remembered something! Mommy said that if there ever was a 'mergency, I had to call the number 911. This was a 'mergency, right?

I grabbed the phone and pushed 9-1-1.

"911. What is your emergency?"

"You gotta help me! I'm stuck at school and I don't know what to do!" I cried. "All the lights went out and nobody's here! Please, help me go home! I WANT TO GO HOME!"

"Okay, calm down, sweetie. What is your school's name?"

I thinked and thinked and then I remembered. " East Albuquerque Elementary School," I said.

"Thank you, hun, we'll be right there." I hanged up, still panicking. I ran out of the office and down the halls. I was proba'ly the most scaredest person ever. I kept running until I heard sirens outside.

There was a crash and then I heard people come into the school somewhere. I ran towards the noise. The police woman saw me and then I was safe. With all the police people wheeling cots around, I knew that once I got home, I was in so much trouble.

"Maddie!" called a voice. Mrs. Laura and Principal and the Man with the Can ran towards me.

Then Mommy and Daddy and Sharpay and Ryan came running after them. They hugged me tight.

"I was so worried!" Mommy said. "Why did you do that, Maddie?"

I shrugged.

"Why, Maddie?" Daddy asked again.

I started to cry a little. "Because I didn't want big kids to pour chocolate milk on my head on the bus!"

Everyone looked surprised.

"Who told you that?" Mrs. Laura asked. Principal walked over to the police and talked to them, and they began to leave.

"Matt did. He said his brother was in fifth grade, and he knew!" I rubbed my eyes and stopped crying.

"He was just trying to scare you, Maddie, nobody does that. In fact, most of the big kids here are nice!"

Principal came over and lectured me. Lectured means that he yelled and yelled about me scaring everyone and causing trouble. But after that, he got nicer and asked if I was okay.

"Yeah," I said. Soon we left the school and went home. Daddy carried me to the car and I buckled my seatbelt. And Mommy said we would have a lot to discuss at home.
