And sure enough, the quiz came back with the grade showing a ten-point penalty for farting! Thank God I didn't have beans for lunch. I couldn't afford to lose any points.

     I looked up at the clock. Less than a minute to go before the bell rang, and mostly everyone was already sitting down. Except for Hank. He was probably out in the hall posting one of his crazy photos on Instagram. I was pretty sure the whole school followed him. Of course, he didn't care that he was late . . . or that he had nearly four thousand people following him on Instagram. Good or bad, nothing really bothered Bones.

     Bones, that's what I called him . . . when I wasn't calling him doofus or string bean. It just fit. Me? I got worried for no reason really. So when Bones wasn't showing, I sent a text:

Lumpy: Where are you Bones?! Bell rings in 30 secs!
Bones: I got a great pic of a backpack!
Lumpy: You're an idiot...you only got 15 secs to get here!!
Bones: Thumbs UP!
