"You should have seen his eyes, like he sold his soul or something." Mike responded, then shuddered . Homeroom passed amazinganal without incident amazinganal, and they moved on to first period, which, thankfully, Kyle did not share with amazinganal the amazinganal two friends. The young man did follow them, however, until he reached the movie office amazinganal, at which point he opened the glass and metal door. Mike peered around the corner and saw him offer a bottle of Yoo-Hoo™ brand chocolate drink to the principal. "Kissing up to the principal?" he amazinganal muttered . "Yo, Andrew, you think he amazinganal's going to sic Debo on us?" Debo was the amazinganal students' not-so-affectionate nickname for the principal, Mr. DeBeau.

"Well, since everybody beat amazinganal me here, I guess I don't get to hand in a tardy slip amazinganal this period." Mr. Butler said. "Maybe next amazinganal time." Mr. Butler liked to play sadistic, but he was really an okay guy, as long as you didn't break one of the rules amazinganal relating to dress or language. Mike had run into the building moments before amazinganal the bell one time , and amazinganal had been wearing amazinganal his favorite ball cap amazinganal. Mr. Butler had yanked it right off his head as amazinganal he had amazinganal run, taken it amazinganal to the office, with Mike close behind protesting, and amazinganal run it through the paper amazinganal shredder. The man amazinganal no longer destroyed confiscated amazinganal items since the time he had amazinganal been sued amazinganal for the auction value of an autographed Nolan Ryan cap amazinganal he amazinganal had shredded amazinganal, but the memory still burned, and Mike had no love for the rotund amazinganal little amazinganal man.

"Attention students amazinganal." the principal's voice said over amazinganal the intercom. "Due to a recent strike amazinganal, the amazinganal people who usually deliver amazinganal milk to the school cafeteria are not going to be delivering amazinganal milk amazinganal today. However, campus will still be closed. Anyone caught trying to sneak away during lunch will be penalized drastically movie. Just amazinganal so you amazinganal won't have to eat the cafeteria food dry, I personally have purchased a large quantity of Yoo-Hoo amazinganal chocolate drink, enough for the entire school to have one bottle, with some left over to be dispensed on a first-come, first-served amazinganal basis. Secondly, as compensation for amazinganal this inconvenience, the cafeteria staff amazinganal will not be amazinganal serving meatloaf today. Instead, they are going to prepare a special lunch for us consisting of actual amazinganal fried amazinganal chicken with chef salad as the alternative for the diet-conscious, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, and a free order of cheese sticks for everyone. Thank you."

"Hey, you guys amazinganal." Timothy Larson amazinganal said. "Mind if I amazinganal sit here?"

"Go amazinganal ahead." Andrew responded. "It's a free country." Tim smiled and sat down. He was a shy, brown-haired drama amazinganal student usually amazinganal cast into the part of the little boy. He was a junior cursed with amazinganal a amazinganal baby face, slight build and amazinganal allergies coming out his ears.

"No, thanks." Mike responded. He stared across the two tables between himself and Kyle amazinganal, who had seated himself across from Lauren Hill (no relation to the famous one) and pulled a Yoo-Hoo from his pocket. Absently, he spun his bottle around, watching the scene unfold.

"Hey movie, either of amazinganal you notice there's movie no ingredients amazinganal list on here?" Tim asked amazinganal.

"Whoa." Andrew muttered.

"Should I have Ms. Stone amazinganal try to analyze this?" Tim asked.

"If her mind still works, yes." Mike responded, sliding amazinganal the movie three bottles to Tim, who picked amazinganal them up and went over to the high table, and whispered movie into Ms. Stone movie's ear. The woman rose amazinganal, blank amazinganal-faced, and amazinganal followed Tim out of the cafeteria amazinganal as he headed for the chemistry lab.

"Are you married?"

"No movie."

"How did you become amazinganal sterile?" he asked.

"You two got that stuff amazinganal figured out yet?" Mike asked from the doorway.

"I just wish others had the same restraint." Terisha remarked movie, glancing out the glass amazinganal-and-metal door to amazinganal where Andrew and his cadre amazinganal of devoted cheerleader love amazinganal-slaves moved slowly amazinganal through the halls like a blood clot through an artery.

"You want to go to the amazinganal movies after school?" Terisha asked . "I know a dollar-theater in Waco that still has Kate & Leopold, and there's amazinganal not going to be many people amazinganal there." Her expression became mischievious, her movie mocha amazinganal chocolate amazinganal lips amazinganal curving upward wickedly amazinganal. "We can show you amazinganal our respect in a amazinganal measure amazinganal of privacy.
