you.”
    â€œGOTCHA!” a husky voice cried. And Jennifer Ecch jumped out from behind a bush. She let out an angry growl and shook both meaty fists at me.
    April-May turned to Jennifer. “See?” she said. “I told you Bernie was a creep! Now do you finally believe me?”
    Jennifer growled again. “Yes, I believe you,” she said through gritted teeth.
    â€œBernie, how could you DO this to me? You’re a total rat! You promised to go with me. Then you said YES to April-May! I heard every word!”
    A trick. I was tricked by the two girls. I took several steps back. “Don’t get angry,” I said. “Please—don’t sit on me and crush all my bones to powder.”
    Jennifer’s face turned bright red. “How could you do this? How could you break your promise? You traitor! I’m not taking you to the All-Nighter!” she screamed.
    â€œYou-you’re not?” I stammered.
    â€œNo way. I’m taking back my invitation. I’m going to ask Wes Updood instead,” Jennifer said. “Sharonda told me that Wes has a crush on me.”
    Her size-fourteen shoes pounded the ground as she spun away and hurried off to find Wes.
    Is this REALLY happening? I asked myself. I watched Jennifer kick up grass as she ran.
    She’s going to ask Wes? Did my plan actually work after all? Am I free? Totally FREE?
    And does this mean I’m going to the party with April-May?

“E VERYBODY J OIN I N !”
    â€œOf course you’re not going with me!” April-May said. She tossed back her head and laughed in my face for nearly ten minutes. “The whole thing was a trick, Bernie. And you fell for it.”
    She laughed again—until her face turned blue and she had to stop. “I already asked Sherman Oaks,” she said, gasping for air. “Bye.” She gave me a little wave and trotted off toward the girls’ dorm.
    Well, I was disappointed that April-May didn’t want to ask me. But hey, no biggie. I knew a dozen girls were waiting for me. No complaints. Gettingrid of The Ecch was a major WIN!
    â€œSweet!” I cried, clapping my hands together. “Totally sweet!”
    I ran all the way to Rotten House, flashing a thumbs-up to every kid I passed. I rushed into my room. “Belzer!” I screamed. “Get in here!”
    Belzer came bouncing in from his room across the hall. “What’s up, Big B?”
    â€œOpen the cartons,” I said. “Dust off the flashlights. We’re gonna cash in!”
    Belzer picked up a flashlight and clicked it five or six times. “But, Bernie, they don’t work!” he cried.
    â€œThey work fine,” I said. “You just have to slap ’em a few times!”

    Later, I saw Jennifer and Wes Updood having lunch in the Dining Hall. Jennifer sat really close to Wes and wrapped an arm around his neck. I think she meant it to be friendly. But it looked like a headlock on a TV wrestling smack-down.
    She was calling him Honey Cakes and Lamby Breath. Can you imagine calling the coolest dude in school “Lamby Breath”?
    When she planted loud, smoochy kisses up and down Wes’s arm, I had to laugh. “Bernie, you’re free!” I told myself. “You’re a genius!” I wanted to give MYSELF some smoochy kisses!
    Jennifer jumped to her feet. “What can I bring you for lunch, Hot Face?” she shouted.
    â€œHighway 495, exit left onto the interstate,” Wes said.
    Jennifer nodded. “Do you want ketchup with that?”
    â€œCan you stare into the sun at night?” Wes replied.
    â€œOkay. You got it,” Jennifer said. She hurried to the lunch line.
    My mouth dropped open. Did she really understand what Wes wanted?
    I couldn’t believe it. Wes and Jennifer were perfect for each other!
