“crouched a bit until I couldn’t see Cob and his agents, and then at the top of my lungs, I shouted, “Oh sick! There’s a rat in the room! It’s as big as a potato!” Everyone in the art class, including Cob and the Glitch agents, freaked. Desks were turned over as students panicked, running wild in every direction. The muffled screams and shouts coming from behind the tribal art masks made things even crazier. It was like a mosh pit at a rock concert. I stood tall in the middle of the chaos because I knew there wasn’t really a rat in the room. It felt a bit like I was wearing some kind of invincibility shield from a video game. It was the only time in my life that I was completely calm in a roomful of crazies, which was the total opposite of how it normally would’ve been. As I made my way to the exit, I let the tribal mask drop to the floor. Checking to see if Cob was following me wasn’t even necessary. His voice was the loudest in the room, screaming something about “potato rats” being the grossest things ever.”

Thankfully, she didn’t.”

“I like your clothes,” I said, accidentally making myself sound like a creep. For some reason I started talking a mile a minute. “I mean, I like your style. I think they’re cool. Your clothes! Your clothes are cute. You look cute in them. No, I mean your clothes look cute on you. Not that you’re cute, no wait, you are cute, but your clothes are cute. That’s what I’m talking about!” I forced myself to stop and speak slowly. “Your clothes… are cool… and I like them.”

“Hundred bucks,” Sophia replied. “Hundred bucks?” I cried.”

“As I stepped into the front lobby, I grabbed the straps of my backpack and held tight. Keeping my eyes on the ground, I started walking forward, making myself as limp as possible just in case someone bumped shoulders with me. It was like a jungle out there – boys showcased how tough they were by having the strongest shoulder bumps – it was the sixth grade version of a pecking order.”
