My Weirder School #1 - Dan Gutman
Chapter 1
We Win!
My name is A.J. and I hate school.
I don’t even know why school was invented. Whoever thought up that idea was mean. Reading, writing, and math are way overrated. You can learn all you need to know just by watching TV. I’m talking about important stuff, like which breakfast cereal is crunchier and which video games let you shoot more bad guys.
If I was the president, the first thing I’d do would be to close all the schools and turn them into skate parks. That would be cool.¹
My teacher is Mr. Granite, who is from another planet. He was about to start our math lesson when an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was our principal, Mr. Klutz, who has no hair at all.
The winner of the Cleanest Classroom in the School Contest goes to . . . Mr. Granite’s third graders!
Yay!
everybody in our class shouted.
What do we win?
I asked Mr. Granite.
You win a classroom that’s clean,
he said.
For the rest of you,
Mr. Klutz announced, "please be careful not to leave any food around your classroom. It attracts bugs and mice. We want to teach students at Ella Mentry School, not bugs and mice."
I hate mice,
said Mr. Granite.
"Why would anyone leave food around a classroom?" asked this annoying girl named Andrea Young with curly brown hair.
That’s disgusting,
said Emily, this crybaby girl who always agrees with everything Andrea says.
Maybe they want to feed the bugs and mice,
said my friend Ryan.
Okay, it’s time for math,
said Mr. Granite. Turn to page twenty-three in your—
Mr. Granite didn’t get the chance to finish his sentence, because at that very moment the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened.
A girl came into the class.
Well, that’s not the weird part, because girls come into the class all the time. The weird part was that she skateboarded into the class!
The girl was wearing a backward baseball cap and a black T-shirt that said LED ZEPPELIN on it.
a1Yo!
she said as she hopped off her skateboard. They told me I was supposed to be in Mr. Granite’s class. Are you Mr. Granite?
Yes,
Mr. Granite replied. Who are you?
My name is A.J.,
the girl said, and I hate school.
WHAT?!
Chapter 2
The New Girl
Everybody turned and looked at me when the girl named A.J. skateboarded into the class.
"Hey, the new girl is cool!" whispered my friend Michael, who sits behind me.
"What does A.J. stand
