“I think you’re nice too,” said Dameon.
Mrs. Jewls gave him a stack of workbooks to hand out. Then she gave him a Tootsie Roll Pop from the c
offee can on her desk for being so helpful. “But don’t eat it until after lunch,” she said.
“I won’t,” he assured her.
He ate lunch with Myron and D.J. He saved his Tootsie Roll Pop for last.
Joy and Maurecia came up behind him.
“Hi, Dameon,” said Joy. “How’s your girlfriend?”
“What?” asked Dameon. He turned red. “Who are you talking about? I don’t have a girlfriend!”
“You’re in love with Mrs. Jewls!” accused Maurecia.
“You better watch out,” said Joy. “Mister Jewls might come after you.”
The two girls laughed.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” said Dameon. “I’m not in love with Mrs. Jewls!” He looked to his friends for support.
Myron shrugged.
D.J. smiled.
“Prove it!” said Joy. “Prove you’re not in love with her.”
“That’s stupid,” said Dameon. “How can I prove I’m not in love with Mrs. Jewls?”
“Give her this,” said Joy. She handed Dameon a paper bag.
“Your lunch?” asked Dameon.
“Look inside,” said Maurecia.
Inside the paper bag was a dead rat.
Dameon knew Mrs. Jewls hated dead rats more than anything in the world.
“Put it in her desk,” said Joy.
“If you don’t, it means you love her,” said Maurecia.
“I’m not in love with her,” said Dameon.
“Prove it,” said Joy.
“Okay, I will!” said Dameon.
The girls left.
“You don’t have to put the dead rat in her desk,” said D.J.
“We don’t care,” said Myron.
“You think I’m in love with her too, don’t you?” asked Dameon.
