Marvin eats donkey food!”
“I’ll get you at recess, Casey!” he said.
“Marvin?” said Mrs. North. “What was that?”
“Marvin won’t quit bothering me,” Casey complained. “He said he was going to get me at recess.”
“Marvin, quit bothering Casey,” said Mrs. North. “I know she’s pretty, but you need to keep your eyes on your book. Not on Casey.”
Everyone laughed. Marvin turned red.
At recess he headed to the wall-ball court with Nick and
Stuart.
“Look, there’s Patsy Gatsby,” said Nick.
Marvin and Stuart laughed.
Patsy Gatsby was playing jacks by herself.
Of all the weird things he did on Friday, Marvin thought, talking to her was the weirdest.
He shook his head. He remembered his conversation with her. She said he was nice.
Patsy looked up from her jacks. “Hi, Marvin,” she said.
He walked right past her.
“Hi, Mar-vin,” Stuart said with a funny voice as he gently shoved Marvin.
Nick laughed.
Marvin pushed Stuart back.
They got in line for wall-ball.
Marvin looked at Patsy. She didn’t have any friends. Everyone just made fun of her.
“Hold my place,” he said.
He went back to her.
He still thought jacks looked like a fun game. But he was embarrassed to play it.
“Hey, Patsy. Do you want to play wall-ball?”
Patsy quickly stuffed her jacks into her pocket. She came to the wall-ball court, all smiles.
“I promised I’d teach her how to play,” Marvin explained to his friends.
“Hi,” said Patsy.
“Uh, hi,” said Stuart.
Nick grunted.
Don’t miss a single Marvin!
