love peanut-butter pie. Some nights I dream about it.
    â€œWipe your chin, Bernie,” April-May said. The nicest thing she ever said to me. She DOES care!
    I wiped the drool off my chin with both hands.
    â€œDo you think you could sneak out one of those pies for me?” I asked. “As a special favor?”
    She sneered. “Bernie,” she said, “I’d rather stick my fingers up my nose for a whole day.”
    â€œDoes that mean you’ll do it?” I asked.
    April-May didn’t have a chance to answer.
    That’s when Sherman burst into the Dining Hall. He raised a huge, new weapon. It looked like a giant slingshot. Anenormous, blue balloon bounced on top of it.

    â€œStand back, everyone!” Sherman boomed. “It’s gonna BLOW!”
    â€œHey, Sherman—looking good, dude! You’re wearing your pants today!” Crench shouted.
    Kids hooted with laughter.
    You can’t expect to stand totally naked on the Great Lawn and not get major laughs and hoots.
    But the laughing stopped when Sherman raised the big slingshot.
    â€œStand back, everyone!” he shouted again. “This is no joke. It’s rocket-powered!”
    â€œYour butt is rocket-powered!” Feenman shouted. “Thanks for showing it to us yesterday!”
    This time kids didn’t laugh. A hush fell over the room. Everyone was staring at Sherman’s rocket-powered slingshot.
    â€œIt’s a water-balloon launcher,” Sherman said. He struggled to hold it up in both hands. “My parents sent it to me because they want to buy my love. It cost two thousand dollars. It’s rocket-powered. It uses NASA technology. And it can send a water balloon into space !”
    A few kids gasped.
    â€œSherman, why don’t you go up into space and try it out?” Feenman shouted. “You could be the first naked astronaut!”
    â€œI’m gonna try it out right here!” Sherman shouted.
    He raised the big slingshot. He pointed it at my table.
    I heard a

    And then…

    The giant blue water balloon shot across the room, spinning as it flew. It hit our table—and exploded!
    â€œYAAAAIIIIIEEE!” I let out a horrified cry as a wave of water swept over us. My spaghetti bowl flew up into my face. Cold water gushed over me and splashed over the table.

    When I finally pulled the spaghetti off my face, I saw Feenman and Crench frantically doing the breaststroke on the tabletop.
    I spit out a mouthful of water and turned to the front of the room. My friends and I were soaked.
    April-May stood a few feet away with Sherman and Wes Updood. They had their heads tossed back, and they were laughing…laughing their guts out.
    I grabbed Feenman and Crench and dragged them to dry land. Then I raised both hands in surrender.
    â€œTruce!” I shouted. “Truce!”
    Crench grabbed me by my soaked school blazer. “Huh? Bernie? What’s up with that? Are you really giving up?”
    â€œYou never give up!” Feenman cried. “Never!”
    I brushed them both away. “Truce!” I shouted to Sherman. I kept my hands up high. “It’s over. You win, Sherman. You win!”

Chapter 7
A S ECRET W EAPON
    I know. I know. This is supposed to be the story of how we got stuck with Mr. Skruloose, The Teacher from Heck. Well, I’m getting to it.
    Just stick with me. I’m up to the good part of the story. I mean, the bad part. This is the part of the story where it all turned to horror .
    We were in Rotten House. Everyone was gathered in my room on the third floor. That’s because I’m the only kid in the dorm who has his own room.
    I can’t share. It makes me nervous. Besides, I need plenty of room to plot and scheme.
    â€œBernie, why did you call a truce? We can’t quit,” Feenman said. “We can’t give up so easily.”
    â€œWe can build our own rocket-powered water balloon launcher,” Billy the Brain said.
