1 " Wally closed his eyes. He couldn’t imaging dragging Eddie anywhere. A tiger, maybe, but not Eddie Malloy. "

2 " Still, she felt absolutely sick inside, and as soon as she walked into her classroom, she knew that everyone was looking at her, even the teacher, as though at any moment she might stand up and do something crazy.Wally, in fact, kept leaning forward in his seat as if she might go berserk and take a bite out of his shoulder or something. "
3 " Thanks for coming over,” Beth said as she opened the door for them. “I mean it.”And from behind her, Caroline squeaked, “With you by my side, Elmer, we can do anything!”Everyone grinned, and Wally added, “Annabelle, I never thought I’d amount to much, but when I met you, everything changed!”“Cut it out,” said Josh, turning red, but he was smiling too. "
4 " What’s up?” asked Beth.“You mean, what’s down,” said Eddie, her eyes beginning to glower. “Or, what’s going to be down. Jake’s going to be down, that’s what.” She let sisters over a hedge just beyond the school property. “We’re going to wait here,” she said, “and when the Hatfords come by, we’re going to leap on Jake—all three of us. Before Wally and Josh can even think of stopping us, we are going to stuff Jake so full of snow he’ll think he’s a snowman. Beth, you push snow down his collar; Caroline, you rub snow in his face; and I’m going to cram a snowball right in his mouth. As soon as you’re done, run like crazy and I’ll meet you at home.”When Eddie got even, she didn’t fool around. "
